Is this factory curl and how to tame it?

[Chibiskittles]

I managed to get my hands on a nearly flawless SS Cherries Jubilee.  Shes got some very minor age spots but thats to be expected ;p

What I want to know (cause i've been out of the loooop for so long), is if shes got her original factory curl, and if so, how to tame that forelock, its driving me bonkers ;p

Yes factory curl, and yes tamable. ^.^She's lovely btw!

So, get a wide tooth comb, a spray bottle with fabric softener or detangler, and straws.  I would spray them down one curl at a time, hold and gently work the hair from the middle of the curl down to get the rats out (slowly working your way up), then wind around the straw to set.  Hope that makes sense!

Far Dreamer's site has great tutorials for stuff like this.

If all else fails with the forelock, CJ always looks awesome with a green hair ribbon.

I second Leave a Whisper's link! That's the method I use for restoring factory curls Don't use hot water!
This girl for instance has her original curl (tho a bit messy now, I need to tame it again), but she was really messy when I got her. Used the method linked, and this is how lovely her hair is
