Then I will do the baby powder next, I will cover her face and do the Goo Gone and then last but not least, the boiling. I got her cheap, so no worries is I fail.

I know this post is a couple years old, but I have a FR doll (Veronique Body Double) with a serious case of super gelled hair that is not only hard, but has turned a crusty shade of grey. While searching for a solution, I found this post of yours. You save me the trouble of trying out the first two methods, though I must say, my doll's hair even resisted the boiling method. I read somewhere (BlackKitty maybe) about using stain remover + vegetable oil which worked perfectly. I dipped a toothbrush in "Energine," a product usually used for taking out greasy stains in clothes. I rubbed a bit of vegetable oil in. Then I shampooed the hair in dishwashing liquid, rinsed then dried the hair. When dry, I rubbed in a little vegetable oil and the doll's hair is now perfect! april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-29234872772322441342016-01-09T20:49:15.582-05:002016-01-09T20:49:15.582-05:00Nancy B, first I always use conditioner to detangl...Nancy B, first I always use conditioner to detangle a frizzy haired doll.

I tried boiling water at first as well. The hair still had a sticky, tacky feel afterwards. Then I tried my favorite gunk remover, W-D 40. I sprayed a liberal amount on the hair and rubbed it in for about 30 seconds then cleaned it out with Dish washing detergent. I had to shampoo the hair a couple of times but when it dried it was clump free.Ollie's Dollieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828293693073990711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-28047183423283009432014-11-03T17:36:26.688-05:002014-11-03T17:36:26.688-05:00Saturday, now you and Presto have got me thinking ...Saturday, now you and Presto have got me thinking about adding some baby power to my doll tools!

People use it on doll hair when it gets too greasy/sticky from glue, and they claim it works amazingly welll. Never tried it, myself -- I just re-root my glueheads. <br /><br />My other thought was dressmaker's chalk. Apparently, there is an old trick to get oil stains out of nice fabric. Just put the ground-up chalk on a stain, leave it for several hours, and it soaks the oil right up. I haven't tried this one either, but I wish I'd had it in my bag of tricks when I spilled oily pasta all over my favorite pants in college. I still miss those pants.

Hard to tell since my dolls hair is usually a little unkempt. As Debbie stated, you can leave it in longer without damage to the doll. Most doll makeup isn't removed by just hot water. I often use hot water to remove heads and the makeup isn't affected. Loved the word, 'smooshing'.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-31992982394295951812014-10-25T18:52:51.173-04:002014-10-25T18:52:51.173-04:00Presto, I don't have baby powder and haven'...Presto, I don't have baby powder and haven't used it since I was a wee little kid.
