So I haven't had a lot of time for a good project lately. Life's been busy. But while Goose was in school one day and I was cleaning up toys, I remembered a pin I had on Pinterest for how to get the tangles out of your dolls hair. I would include the actual pin link, but since the link didn't go anywhere, here's simply a screen shot of the pin itself.
Oddly enough we have the exact same Rapunzel doll and while ours' hair isn't as wild as the pin's "before" picture, it was tangled enough to drive me nuts so I decided to give it a try.
I took out the braid in her hair and proceeded to spray it with the fabric softener/water mix. It took some time and I still had to sit and pick at the knots... and again, ours wasn't nearly as tangled as the one in the pin photo... and it still took a while. I even soaked her hair in the fabric softener and let it sit for 10 minutes and tried again. This made it a little easier, but I still really had to work at it to get the tangles out. I'm scared to try on her Belle doll. Her hair is a really big mess.
In the end her hair still looked kind of frizzy at the worst part and it was soaked and soft here, not even tangled still, but overall it was a big improvement. And she smelled wonderful too.
I don't know if this method will keep her hair from tangling again or make it easier the next time it needs to be combed out and fixed, but as of right now I'd call it about even. It wasn't a fantastic pin and it wasn't a total fail.
I decided to put her hair back in braid, giving her the look from the end of the movie (and hopefully saving myself the aggravation of her hair being a huge mess again soon).
And of course the entire time I was working on this, Monster-Man stood on the other side of the gate and whined at me because he wanted the doll. So when I was done I handed her over to which he promptly got mad and threw her on the floor and cried. *sigh*
