Monster High Glue Seepage Thread

[Ravie]

I will definately have to try the tea tree oil. I've been using powder inside the heads to stave off further corruption, but I haven't had any success fnding something to clean whats already happened (baby oil cleaned it but then I had oily hair) most of the cleaners mentioned here i have never heard of or seen before.

I used the tea tree oil, let it sit for a bit and then shampooed it out.

I completely forgot about this thread.

Anyway, all of my dolls that had glue seepage are still doing good.  I washed their hair with Goo Gone 2 at the end of August and none of them have had any reoccurring seepage.  DOTD Clawdeen's roots are just a little sticky, but it's nothing compared to the way she was before I washed her hair.

Goo gone 2 is the scent good? I found one thats citrus scent...

I unboxed clawdeen/howleen 2 pack and even Deuce and Cleo 2 pack... And behind EVERYONES head except Deuce have a .... oil stain, Cleos was almost puddle like  ... Is that seepage? I have NEVER seen it on the backcard before this.

It smells strongly of citrus, kind of like that gritty hand soap used for cleaning greasy or oily stuff off your hands, if you've ever used it before.  The smell fades quickly after it's been washed out.

the goo gone worked great! Thanks! And it smells good!

Looks like I'll need to find me some tea tree oil... My only doll that seems to have this horridly icky issue is Toralie. >.< I'll need to check the others now to confirm she's the only one. I thought I would be able to avoid this issue - I thought wrong lol

Any updates on dolls who had tea tree oil used on them?

Mine are still glue-free And side effect free!

That's great news! I think I will pick up some tea tree oil then!

Hello folks,
Just an update about the situation from me! Whilst Nefera was never cured of glue seapage, I was walking round my room aimlessly with a doll that has glue seapage and spotted my dry hair shampoo, Batiste Blush & Bloom scented, I sprayed lots in, massaged and brushed it through and it has visibly reduced the gunge! Yess! Cheap, somewhat effective and I would say definitely worth a shot!

Hello! I just read in a MH blog that there is an permanent solution to the glue thing...:
 "It's clean and clear deep cleansing face lotion. Just let its hair soak (striped or styled part out of way) and let dry over night if you get down to roots, it should be permanent."
Someone try this thing? One of my MH  has grease in the roots and scalp but doesn't have the sticky hair... And I'm not so sure what to try on her head... I think I'll use some soap or laundry detergent first and if this doesn't work I'll try the face lotion.. If someone try this, let me know... I hope this thing work permanently for real and give us some kind of solution... 
(Sorry if I write something wrong... English is not my mother language...  )
See u!!!

Can someone tell me if the glue that seeps through the scalp has an odd smell? I got a doll who's hair feels rather.. gross and has a funky smell even though I washed the hair with shampoo and conditioner.

My Gloom Beach Frankie, original wave Frankie, and GB Clawdeen all have glue seepage issues (I'm sure I'm also forgetting other dolls I own that also suffer from this) and while they all have sticky-feeling, clumpy hair, I never noticed any odd smell, even when I put my nose right to it.

Not to say that it's impossible for them to have a funky smell, but none of mine do... small mercies.

I notice MH dolls and their boxes have a strange plastic/vanilla scent to them, not sure if that's the glue, or the boxes or that new doll smell, but that's what I noticed.
