Q&A for How to Untangle and Soften Doll Hair

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.

You can use baby shampoo or normal shampoo/conditioner. Just don't do it too often as it can degrade the hair.

Brush from the bottom up using a mix of a small bit of conditioner and then mostly water. Be gentle.

No, as the oils will break down the hair and degrade it over time, resulting in very brittle hair on your doll.

You can use fabric softener. You could also use normal shampoo and/or conditioner, but be careful because normal shampoo could wear down the hair.

Yes, as long as they have synthetic hair. If they have real hair you might want to try a different method to avoid damage.

You can if the hair is not really dirty and just tangled and messy

That could work, too.

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.
