Today's arrival :) any tips about so softs?

[Stiletto]

Some good advice here about cleaning her!  She looks great though so I would probably try to avoid washing her body unless needed.  Just in case!

Congrats on your 1st So Soft, she looks lovely!   

This thread has been very helpful to me too, I've got my first two So Softs on their way from Canada and I didn't know the best way to clean them either. 

So excited about getting them now, hope they are in as nice condition as yours!

I love your so-soft!   The glittery blind bags have to be my favorite wave so far.  Yours look beautiful.

Wow, that is actually the brightest Paradise I've ever seen!

I appreciate some of the advice in this thread about washing so-softs though, so I'm really glad you posted.  I just brought a bunch of them back from storage, and have been very apprehensive about washing any of them since the flocking seems to be so fragile

No problem, yeah thats why I posted as I know they can be very fragile! I knew people here would know and be happy to advise me! Good luck with yours!

Wow! Hope they arrive safe! Good luck with yours! Im sure they'll be lovely!

Ohh, what a pretty Paradise!  Congrats! 

The only suggestion I have to add to cleaning so softs is sometimes I run a *tiny* amount of conditioner over their flocking at the end, when I'm conditioning the hair - and then I gently rinse it all off.  Makes the flocking softer. 

Thanks I'll try that!

Congrats she looks lovely.  All I can add is not to use super hot water, I did it with tap and most of the flocking came off a bait Skippy Do.  I love that BB wave, one of our favorites.

Ah okay, dont worry I wont try super hot water! Yeah this bb wave is deffo my favourite one too

I would definitely second the conditioner! I recently used some when cleaning a Paradise (not quite as lovely as yours, she's so nice and white!) and then a dryer on cool after seeing it recommended on here, and it was amazing how wonderful she felt!
