Q&A for How to Untangle and Soften Doll Hair

First, gently brush the doll's hair with a comb to smooth it out. Then, rinse it with warm water and use a small amount of mild shampoo. Massage the shampoo in gently, then rinse it out completely. Next, carefully comb the wet hair to detangle it. If it's still tangled, you can repeat the process. Finally, let the hair air dry completely. To add and restore shine, you can apply a bit of leave-in conditioner.

Yes, but it won't be a good idea to do this too often, as hair conditioners contain oils that may eventually degrade the doll's hair.

Brushing the hair gently with a thin-toothed comb can help.

Maybe your doll just needs a new wig as the hair is old and ruined. Or, it could have also been that you followed the instructions incorrectly.
