That blue Dawn dish-soap seems to yield pretty nice results. I've also used an off-brand baby shampoo, but after getting a tip to use dish soap instead, I never went back.
I love Dawn Ultra for general cleaning of ponies/dolls—that stuff is amazing! I do worry about using it too much on the hair, though... Isn’t it rather drying?
I've heard wig conditioner works wonders. It is made for synthetic hair after all! I haven't tried it myself, though.Aren't a lot of the higher quality wigs made from real human hair? I could be wrong but I thought people donated hair for that or something.
Thank you very much :) I use a cheap comb I got for 10p at a supermarket :P it has a fine tooth end and a end with teeth more spread out, Definitely keep starting from the ends of the hair and working up! Do you de tangle the hair wet or dry? I as a rule wet hair, clean it with soap or shampoo and then go in with a conditioner to make it slippier and easier to de tangle. Once I finish the whole process and the hair is dry I don't tend to go in once again and brush their hair, maybe run my fingers through but that's about it
I will need to try the fabric softener method. May even give a go to the straight iron. I actually got a travel one on clearance at TJMaxx after Christmas that does not get hot enough to work on my own hair. Emily_katie Ringlets looks awesome, nice work!
Anyone have ideas as to the best brush/combs to use on pony hair? I have used a human comb and the brushes that come with them and MH dolls but no matter what I feel like the hair is always frizzier than when I started. I always start from the ends and work my way up, just like my own long hair but doesn't seem to make a difference.
