The funny thing about Chloe’s hair staying so good is I think a large part of the reason had to do with those plastic bits left in her hair. It wasn’t allowed to flow about as freely and get tangled so you almost got a Chloe fresh out of the box, how cool!

@humanflyy Жыл бұрын

loved the video ! something i would take note to in the future is to not brush out the hair while it's dry, and to wash or wet it first. brushing while dry can make them lose a lottt of hair, a lot more than usual. i have dolls that have bald spots bc i did this :( another thing is to use a comb! using a smaller comb can rlly help get all of the knots and tangles out. and for boil washing, i heard that sometimes u have to do it many time for it to get fully straight. i haven't ever done a boil wash bc i'm too nervous, so i can't say if doing it many times helps, but it's worth a shot ! can't wait to see any future bratz content from u in the future, i love ur collection :)

another thing !! wash with shampoo first, then conditioner, brush, and wash out the conditioner. i completely forgot to put that in my previous comment, whoops!

yay! Absolutely love when you do Bratz videos! They turned out amazing, the matching makeup for the lips… it was meant to be! So, quick tip for the next time you have to do doll hair: the last thing you want to do is brush! The hair is full of knots and dirt, as we saw in your hands 😄 so you actually want to wash it first, then condition it (I prefer conditioner other than fabric softener cause it makes the hair slippery), and THEN you brush with the conditioner on, it makes the process much easier, you’ll break way less hair, plus it doesn’t make the hair all puffy! Hope this helps! 💖

Hi I’m new but I really like big dolls The boil wash works but the fabric softener usually makes the hair puffy because it’s made to fluff fabrics It’s better if you use hair conditioner cause it doesn’t fluff and makes the hair look pretty

@vs7332 Жыл бұрын

I love this video!💕 I have actually started using a new technique on how to detangle doll hair more easily. What I do is I wash the hair with shampoo first - yes, with all the knots and everything - and then wash it all out. After that I put lot's of conditioner in the hair and then start to brush. The conditioner makes it a lot easier to detangle and help against friss. Then I wash it all out again and boilwash it if necessary. It's just a suggestion and I've mostly done it with monster high hair, but maybe you could give it a try?😊👍🏻

I actually found the same Bratz Cleo doll in one of my local Goodwills, which is a second-hand store here, I live in Atlanta, Georgia, in the US. I've had mine for a couple of years now & have not yet attempted to restore her, but with the exception of her missing her coat & purse she's complete & in immaculate condition plus I only paid around 3.00 to 4.00 US dollars for her, so you've inspired me to find the missing items & get mine restored to her original condition. Thanks for your video!! 💜💯

Gorgeous transformation! A little warning when it comes to using make-up products on vinyl dolls, though! Since it tends to contain oil, it might stain and bleed into the vinyl. You can probably find doll face-up artist close to you and commission them to do touch-ups. That way they could also get off any marks and redo the blush.

Hi im a doll colector too fabric softener/conditioner isnt really good for detangling doll hair and is not good for the envirement and can make the dolls hair dry after a few months while conditioner is a better option while you do have too rewash it every few months its a better option i recommend using conditioner first then while boilwashing add the fabric conditioner in the water i do this sometimes to my dolls with nylon or polypropelene hair :)

@sabaqumurasaki7513 Жыл бұрын

As others already suggested, you could use acrylic paint to repair paint chips. Acrylic paint is practically turning into waterproof plastic when it’s dry so it will stay on perfectly. The only down side is that you would probably have to buy a big set and mix the colors to match them. Also be aware that some colors like red sometimes bleed into the plastic and stain the surrounding skin. For the lip with the shimmer effect I would look up mica powder on Amazon. As suggested you could also use soft pastels and watercolor pencils like ooak artists and doll repainters but you would definitely need a sealant like Mr. Superclear which is expensive and hard to come by. Also you would have to keep in mind that it will matten everything it seals if you would like to keep parts shiny. I would highly advise against felttips because they just smudge and are not waterproof. As well as sharpies and alike which are alcohol based and are waterproof but tend to bleed horribly and permanently stain the doll. Also they are not opaque like acrylic paint would be and probably wouldn’t look that good.

@sabaqumurasaki7513 Жыл бұрын

*also since the boil wash did so little to the hair, it could be that the hair is pretty heat resistant. That means you could maybe try to use human hair styling tools like flat irons or hair curling irons on them. Start on the lowest possible setting and try it out first with a very small section you could easily cut out if it gets messed up. If the hair doesn’t melt, you can go on and try styling it that way! I would recommend flattening everything first and then recurling it.

When I brush out my synthetic wigs I do them wet with a conditioner with silicone in it for glide and with a tangle teaser. I so highly recommend the tangle teaser brush because it wont pull the synthetic strands that ends up stretching and tearing them! They all ended up so beautiful and the makeup idea is so smart :)

I used to love my bratz and played with them till I was quite old ( 15 years old ish) and always felt so embarrassed and kept it from my friends etc . Your passion and love for the dolls I really relate to . I’m about to start your bratz series of you restoring your entire collection . I had the same imagination, playing with the dolls each time was like a new and exciting episode. Being nearly 25 now this is so nostalgic ( I’ve even kept some of my bratz stuff too that I haven’t touched since I was 15 or so) So happy to have found your channel 🥰🥰 xx

Cool finds! I have bought these originals still in boxes along with numbered certificates … I took them out of the boxes because of the age of rubber band were degrades. So I was surprised to find their hair were terrible tangled. So I washed and conditioned the hair to restore its former glory. It still have their natural curls, so I just leave them alone. I put them back to their boxes to keep them free from the dust. They will need their cleaning once awhile because the dust do get inside the boxes. I am out of box collector, but I enjoyed take them out of boxes so their certificates don’t get lost anywhere.
