River has crazy hair. It is long, curly and beautiful but it also becomes matted and tangled if not brushed constantly. A hairdresser had me try moroccan oil and leave in conditioner on her hair and I was amazed at the difference. Not only was her hair shiny and the curls perfect, but her hair was no longer becoming matted and tangled so we could brush it 2 times a day with no issues.
I thought about this method so I tried it on her doll last night. I was amazed with the results! Her dolls once matted hair is not shiny, smooth and tangle free and we are now able to style it with no issues. I did not take pictures of the process with that doll so I found another doll and did a step by step for you..
This shows how the dolls hair was prior to me starting:
-First I washed her hair with shampoo and rinsed it, then I thickly applied a good conditioner and let it sit a minute. I then laid the doll on her back and brushed her hair out with the conditioner still in it.
- After all the tangles were removed, I rinsed the conditioner from the dolls hair and patted it so it was not dripping but still damp. I used about 3-4 drops of morrocan oil and 4-6 squirts of leave in conditioner. I squirted both into my hand and mixed them together.
- I then worked the mixture into the dolls hair and brushed it again.
- I let it dry and there you have it, Tangle free and manageable hair. I assume I will have to repeat these step every few months but the results were astounding. Better than any I have seen yet.
