Caring for the hair of your reborn baby doll is essential to maintaining its realistic appearance and prolonging its lifespan. Most reborn dolls feature high-quality rooted or painted hair, and proper care ensures they stay looking fresh and natural. If your doll has rooted hair, gentle brushing with a soft-bristled brush or a wide-tooth comb is recommended. Always brush in the direction of hair growth to prevent tangling or damage. For dolls with painted hair, avoid excessive handling to prevent smudging or wear.
Washing the hair should be done sparingly. Use lukewarm water and a mild, gentle baby shampoo or conditioner, carefully rinsing without disturbing the scalp. Avoid soaking the doll’s head for too long to prevent damage to the rooting or paint. After washing, pat dry with a soft towel and allow the hair to air dry completely before styling. If styling is needed, use gentle, heat-free methods such as soft rollers or gentle finger styling.
To keep the hair looking its best, avoid exposing the doll to excessive sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can cause fading or deterioration. Regular, gentle maintenance will help preserve your reborn baby doll’s realistic hair, making it a cherished display or playpiece for years to come.
