Question

Can you wash american girl dolls hair with normal shampoo?

Answer 1

Well for starters don't use hot water using this can sometimes result hair falling off and ect.

Use cold water and shampoo. Make sure when you wash it be sure to not get any water inside the head. Wash it and when you are done eaither dry it with a towel, leave it out to dry, or for a faster way just blow dry it.

Well if your doll has sort of a wig type then use a spray bottle. You can also style the hair but when styling make sure to never use a straightning iron or any iron for that or the wig will fall apart.

yes you can wash it

Answer 4

OK , you can use pet shampoo beacuse pet shampoo has much less chemicals then normal shampoo you can also use john son and john son baby shapoo they are for babys so they have much less chemicals in them and doll hair is basically plastic cut really thin but what ever you do please do not brush their hair while washing it... let it dry first... after all you don't want the hair to fall out do you?

Answer 7

I believe their is a special shampoo that you can buy for the dolls. If not I would go to a salon that sells wigs and purchase wig shampoo. They actually have a special way that you are suppose to do it.

I would absolutly not use human shampoo(or even animal shampoo for that matter)

Answer 8

I restore dolls as a side line business, please remember that the hair is plastic as the lady before me says it will look like split ends if you use hot water, I use that soap  Woollight,  rinse all soap out!!!! then use no more tangles so that it will comb out nicely, use a pick or a dog metal wire comb, nothing with human or dog hair grease in it. I would not wash the hair unless its really a mess, its hard on the plastic. Sometimes I will use those wipes which sanitizes the doll and hair. Best of luck
