My girl likes playing hairdressers with her dolls so the game is less fun when you can't get a little brush through their hair anymore. I saw a 'how to' on the internet once that explained how to de-tangle a doll's hair so I've just given it a try. You just rub fabric softener on the hair let it soak for a bit, brush it like crazy, rinse it and then dry it naturally or like I did with a hair dryer. M commented on how nice it smells now and I think Strawberry Shortcake even appears happier and more confident with her new look, lol! It might seem like quite a bit of effort over a doll but it's renewed the girl's interest in playing with it and her other dolls. As I type she's setting up her ' hairdressers shop' - worth every second of the 5 minutes it took me I think!

I wish my mum knew of this when I was little! I use to think the hair looked so ugly so I cut it all off, poor dolls!
