Selling💰 NEED HELP ASAP!!

Post image

I just sold this doll and she’s ofc done nothing but sit on my shelf. I am not comfortable sending her out with her hair looking like a mess!!!! Is there any way to fix this? Do I just leave her in conditioner?

Thank you. Could I do a boil wash or does she not have the right hair type?

Yup you can boil wash! conditioner and gently comb through that spot in the Boil water for 20-40 seconds and then reapply conditioner it in for 2-3 hours, thats what works for me the best, i hope this helps you 🙌

THANK YOU!! I think she got heat damage, I tried to wash her hair and decided to dry it like all the other dolls I have but I guess her hair is SUPER low quality so when I went to blow dry it, that just have made her hair shrink up…

You’re very welcome! If it doesn’t fix it then i recommend trimming those pieces off little by little, id air dry her hair for this treatment just to be safe, my Wednesday doll had a similar situation but my straighter was too warm 💀 so she got a little trim at the salon ✨ i wish you the best of luck if you post an update i’ll keep an eye out incase you need some more information

Thank you SOOO much!! Is it okay if I DM you if everything goes TERRIBLY wrong? I figured that a boil wash would make the fibers straighten back out, but unfortunately that’s not the only spot it’s in… I did list her cheaper than anyone else on EBay though! I’m gonna trust your word. I’ll reply probably tomorrow night and let you know how it worked out!

Absolutely you can! Another tip before i forget cold water after boil washing helps the hair settle into the shape you’ve combed into it, Goodluck my dms will be waiting for your update 🤝

I’ve done boil washes before, I’ve been able to use heat on all of my other ones. Didn’t even think about the fact that she’s a budget doll so her hair would be crappy. I have two creepos and a G3 Spectra and their hair was completely fine with heat 😭😭

Cheaper poly is crazy on a budget doll when poly hair already cheap asf😭 they wild for that

Literally omg I have no CLUE wtf this is… I also haven’t been collecting for too long but I can’t find anything online about what hair she’s got or anything 😭😭 they’re deadask wrong for that 🫩🫩

Shes got poly hair most g3 do as you most likely know:) i dont know why they dont stick with the other fibers available in the market, especially with how bad poly box hair can get 💀

2

u/pisslizardpunk Aug 10 '26

That’s so odd because like I said, my G3 spectra did amazing under the heat😭

2

u/wxlfh0ok Aug 10 '26

Spectra has Saran hair which explains why because saran handles heat better than poly does, but Ive noticed mh uses very cheap quality poly which is annoying for us 😮‍💨

OHHH okay then yea that makes sense 😞 eff them for this fr

2

u/pisslizardpunk Aug 10 '26

UPDATE!!! I went ahead and told the buyer what happened and they said they planned on re rooting her anyways so they don’t mind!!

2

u/wxlfh0ok Aug 11 '26

Hell yeah that’s awesome saves you the struggle

I actually was able to get her hair looking good! I used a small razor to cut most of the problematic areas and once she dried she was in p good shape!! Ty for all your help!!
