To curl an Our Generation doll's hair safely and effectively, use a gentle method that avoids heat. Here's how:
Curling Your Our Generation Doll's Hair: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
Prepare the Hair: Lightly mist the doll's hair with water. This will make it more pliable and easier to manage. Avoid soaking the hair, as this can damage the doll.
-
Section the Hair: Divide the hair into small sections, depending on the desired curl size. Smaller sections will create tighter curls, while larger sections will result in looser waves.
-
Use Twisty Curlers or a Similar Method:
-
Twisty Curlers: Gently brush a section of hair to remove any tangles. Wrap the hair around a twisty curler, starting near the scalp and working your way down. Secure the curler in place with a bobby pin.
-
Finger Curling: Alternatively, you can create curls by wrapping small sections of damp hair around your finger. Hold for a few seconds, then carefully slide your finger out and secure the curl with a bobby pin.
-
Braiding: Braid damp hair into several small braids. This creates a crimped or wavy effect when the braids are removed.
-
-
Air Dry Completely: Let the doll's hair air dry completely. This is crucial. Do not use a hairdryer or any other heat styling tool, as heat can melt the doll's hair fibers. Drying time will vary depending on the thickness of the hair and the humidity. It may take several hours or even overnight.
-
Remove Curlers and Style: Once the hair is completely dry, carefully remove the twisty curlers or bobby pins. Gently separate the curls with your fingers to create a more natural look. Avoid brushing the curls, as this can cause them to frizz.
Removing Curls:
To remove the curls, simply mist the doll's hair again with water, brush it straight, and let it air dry.
Important Considerations:
-
Avoid Heat: Never use heat styling tools on your Our Generation doll's hair. The hair is synthetic and will melt or become damaged.
-
Gentle Products: Avoid using harsh chemicals or styling products on the doll's hair. Water is generally sufficient.
-
Patience is Key: Allow the hair to dry completely before removing the curlers. Rushing the process can result in limp or undefined curls.
By following these steps, you can safely and effectively curl your Our Generation doll's hair without causing damage.
