It doesn’t have any roots like people do.  You should NEVER wash or condition your doll’s hair. The best way to remove tangles is to spray the hair with a little bit of COLD water, than use a wire wig brush—we use the American Girl Doll  hair brush to comb out the knots, working from the bottom up.  Some American Girl dolls, like Addy, have textured hair, for which you should use a hair pick.

You can also style your doll’s hair after you’ve removed all of the knots. One of my daughter’s favorite accessories is the Salon Chair. Sit your doll in the chair, brush out the knots and style her hair for a fun salon experience. You can watch Grace bruching Julie’s hair in her salon chair below.

If you have a Samantha doll, you can set her hair in rollers while damp, but not wet.

For Kirsten and Molly, braid their hair tightly while damp.

Always remember that for all dolls, always let their hair air dry—DO NOT use a blow dryer or heat of any kind.

Very soon your doll will be ready for play and looking as beautiful as ever.
