Restoring Lanie

I have an american girl doll named Lanie (GOTY 2010) and her hair was in pretty bad shape but not as bad as my other doll Elizabeth. Lanie is a beautiful doll but not fun to play with when her hair looks like a rats nest.

This is a good video if you would like to restore your doll Restoring an old American Girl doll
it was the video that got me interested in restoring dolls.

This is Lanie before

And After

I did the same things in the video but made up my own curling method because every time I tried the one in the vid the hair would get caught and tangled

This  is what it looks like (I am showing you it on Rebecca)

 To do this first you mist the hair and brush it (it does not matter if the hair is straight or not)
Then you will start to twist the hair with your fingers

 Twist the hair until it starts to coil up on itself

Twist it until the coil has just a bit of hair left and bobby pin it into place

Do this with different sections of hair until all of the hair is in coils let the hair dry over-night and take it out in the morning
