I onetime when I was like 10 I was bored and had a play structure and dropped one of the dolls from the top of the monkey barks idk why I did it I was a stupid 10 year old

I wanted to expand on a couple of points. Another reason to use the wire brush and brush from the bottom is so the bristles don’t grab and stretch the hair. Stretching causes the hair to frizz. And about human make up or hair products, these often contain oils which react with and degrade plastic. And another reason to avoid wetting the body besides the mold is that it can leave unsightly water marks. Another tip is to beware of staining from black or red clothing especially inexpensive clothing which is more prone to dye transfer. Another tip is not to leave a hairstyle in for too long or it will permanently crimp the hair. Thanks for another great video.

So my mom got me a Marie grace doll when I was rlly little and she wouldn’t let me play with it or take it out of the box and since her meet hairstyle was in for like 11 or 12 years her hair was rlly frizzy and crimped but I boiled washed it and it was fine but her pin curls are such a PAIN.😂 definitely with take your comment to heart. but just as a quick question, is it ok that I cut off the pieces of hair that are longer or are falling out cause I usually cut off the “dead ends”.😂😅

Just wanted to add, don't use fabric softener on your doll's hair to detangle it or make ot softer, it really will just add buildup and cause the hair to get dirtier over time if not properly rinsed out.

One time I was about 8 and me and my friends decided to wash a dolls hair with hand soap and she was losing hair and it was in dreadlocks, so we used fabric softener and it did work, but that was the last resort.

Great tips! I personally have used a flat iron on many American girl dolls with no issues, but I would definitely not recommend for beginner/ younger collectors. Also, a little tip when it comes to curling American girl hair, All of their curls go to the left, this will save a lot of time trying to figure out which way to curl it.

Poor dolls falling on the floor. I hope no lasting "scars".

Dont forget that the doll hospital exists guys! You should still be as careful as you can, but if you accidentally ruin tbe hair, or your doll gets silver eye, or needs a replacement part, you can send your doll to American Girl, and they'll fix it for a fee. Its about $40, but its well worth it. Toys are meant to be enjoyed ❤

Guilty of some of these mistakes! Thanks for sharing Xo Dolly & Millie

I wouldn’t suggest putting a blanket or anything like that over them. It increases the chance of ink transfer

Also something I found out the hard way be wary of fuzzy or wooly blankets that are dark or bright colored these can leave marks or stains on your dolls vinyl, even very expensive blankets. I have now switched to very pastel colored blankets any where near near my dolls or shelves. This can be an issue if you have a smaller room. Also I have found that if you live somewhere where water is harsh or highly clorinated it is better to use either distilled water or filtered water on your dolls hair. It stays cleaner longer.

Thank you so much!! I’ve recently started collecting AG dolls and am so glad I watched this video!! 🩷

They’re for older children - ages 9 and up. I wouldn’t recommend the curly haired dolls for kids though. Whenever I get a curly doll I display her only, so her hair doesn’t get messed up. So yeah for a kid I would get a doll with straight hair or with a wave on the bottom like Lea, Saige, 110 are good dolls for kids with lots of hair.

This seems a bit excessive to try and keep your doll perfect. My daughter has 2 and I help keep their hair nice but other than that, she plays with them how a kid would and they're fine.

Great!

I used to pick my dolls by the neck. But I eventually learned to pick them up by the waist

I wish there was a way for American girl doll company to make the dolls waterproof and sun proof so that you can take them wherever you go even to the beach without them getting ruined

I do wonder why the dolls' torsos are made of fabric, instead of the same vinyl as their limbs.

I take mine to the beach anyways. I think my money is better spent when I enjoy my dolls out in the world with photos than worried about them being perfect on the shelf. But to each their own. I still make sure not to get my dolls wet and keep them exposed for too long but even if they get slightly damaged, I'm ok with it if I've really had fun.

Left my doll seated in a car and her legs are now loose. I’ve had her for 2 weeks ;-; oh well, makes her cuddlier

These tips are just if you want to keep your doll in pristine, like new condition, which is what many adult collectors may want. I personally am not this serious because I think my money is better spent when I take my dolls out for photos and enjoy them than keep them pretty on a shelf. I've definitely taken dolls to the beach for example, I'm just careful.

Why? It’s not hard to treat your doll normally and not beat up on them. People are rough on their toys.

I J ust got my AG Doll

These are good tips, I'm sure people will find this very helpful! I have a CYO doll made in 2018 who is strictly for display purposes only. One thing I've been wondering, can dust damage an American Girl doll?

@ALT-vz3jn

Not really. Sunlight is a much bigger risk, it will discolor the doll and outfit in the long term.

Do not place your dolls by direct sunlight. I got out of collecting for a bit and I just happened this way. When I came back they all had highlights which didn’t look that great. I get that sometimes happens by mistake but if you need to keep them by a window put them in a box. That way the sunlight doesn’t affect them. Hope this can help.
