Tip[ for doll hair…definitely wire brush…spray water (gentle mIst ) & comb/brush..gentle hand. For my hair?… a good shampoo & conditioner (doesn’t need to be pricey tho)..big tooth comb thru..& blowdry. A nice clip or hairband…and off I go! :)
Thank you for chance to win this super Hairband too! :D
Having baby fine and thin hair.. I just keep it short and wear a hat on bad hair days LOL.. Cute head band.. My grandkids would love this for their dolls and for them too..
First to give it to my daughter who is a hair dresser and if she’s not available to sit and take my time with a wire brush so your not ripping out the hair and then to braid so it doesn’t get all tangled again. Love the headband would like to make some for my granddaughters. Thanks!!!!!!!
Love the hair ban
I am sure we can adjust it to make a matching hair band for my nine years old grand daughter .She has lovely curly long blond hair.
