If you don't want to keep all that powder in her hair, all you have to do is wash it out. The baby powder soaks up the grease, which means when you wash it out, the grease goes away, along with the powder. I used this method on my Ashlynn Ella doll. I hope this helps!!!:D
@@roxi377 girl- try this: let it sit for 30 mins but mainly on the scalp. wash it out with COLD WATER and brush it out then wait for it to dry. it should work edit: make sure to use hand soap when washing the hair and then add conditioner
Oooh, I have a Lagoona doll with unspeakably greasy hair, and nothing has worked so far. I'm definitely going to try this! Thank you so much for the hint!
@@coconegro8113 it did work! i actually used coconut oil on my lagoona hair and washed it afterwards with dish soap, clear shampoo and then soaked in fabric softner
I use this powder method too. I find that brushing the powder through the hair helps to get as much of the leaking glue out as possible, and it also helps to keep adding powder as you brush it, then when I'm finished with the powder, I wash the hair using hot water as hot as it will go from the tap (not boiling mind you) and a bowl of some sort and I dunk the head into the water and dip it up and down like dipping a tea bag for 10 seconds then I use baby shampoo because it's very mild and helps to remove all of the excess powder on the head and hair. I brush the hair again while the shampoo is in the hair to help combat tangles and distribute the shampoo evenly to make sure it gets rid of all the powder that was used. The I just rinse in warm water and let the dolls air dry. Had to do this with my Disney Princess Ariel, Frights Camera Action Lagoona, 13 Wishes Twyla, Ghoul's night Out Rochelle and Scaris Frankie.
Thanks for the additional advice, I wasn't sure if I could wash my dolls' hair after using the powder or if the sticky problem would come back if I did wash it.
my opinión If the greasiness comes back a bit, just repeat the powder and washing process. I did with all my dolls I mentioned and it helped to get rid of the remaining or slight new greasiness and it hasn't come back since.
I started using baby powder yesterday on my monster high dolls. I even use it on the ones the have dark hair and it works perfectly fine. I just repeat this process a couple times until I'm satisfied: 1. washing (I use the one you wash the dishes with) 2. using an oil or conditioner (I usually do that only the first time) 3. using baby powder 4. washing it off
Thanks for this, I used it to fix my Briar's hair. I used cornstarch because that's what I had, mostly focusing on the scalp just like you'd use dry shampoo, then let it sit for a while before combing it out, now her hair looks awesome not sticky and is still shiny. 😊
I had a doll with some pretty greasy light colored hair, I bought her from a thrift store so you could only imagine how gnarly her hair was. I thought this method was perfect but I had no baby powder, so I ended up using corn starch, and it worked fantastic, so soft and no longer greasy. With some brushing, I even got some of the sheen back.
So far this is this is the best RUclips video on fixing sticky doll hair. I have tried baby powder before with so so results, but the corn starch you recommend works so much better. You are the only one that explained the cause of sticky hair (leaky glue) so of course we shouldn't boil wash. Thank you so much!!
thanks, my granddaughters love their barbies but some of the barbies hair was a greasy disaster! this video saved the day ( and it was fun to play barbie hair salon)!
What I have done is the same thing as u using baby powder I did it for my mattel anna bc she has a bad glue seepage problem and then after a couple hours (I recommend 24 hrs) wash out the powder with COLD water and conditioner and it keeps the hair a bit shinier and soft and not as matte and dry feeling I hope this helps for anyone who needs to stop the glue seepage :)
I wish I found this video before rerooting my Twyla - I love her original haircolour so much, and all I had here for her was black hair... At least now I know that there's hope for my other dolls.
I used to use baby powder to fix the glue seepage problem but now I use corn starch. It's so less messy to use. I always shampoo the afterwards so dark colored hair turns out okay.
I've heard that tea tree oil works great to remove the extra grease permanently! How ever it will get rid of the glue inside of the head so it's recommended to put a little bit of a non gel glue (such as mod podgy) to keep it inside the head :)
Omg thank you, I will have to try this out, my Catrine doll's hair is exactly how you described it and I had no idea why is it like that :/ Finally I can try to fix it^^
I bought a MH doll second hand and, having no idea this could be a problem, washed her hair with hot water to remove the kinks! Suggenly her hair was all sticky and "greasy!" I'm so glad for this video on how to correct the problem! Thank you!
the glue in the head is a REALLY BIG issue Mattel has been doing and it was at one point on barbie collector dolls but when they got complaints saying it was hazardous , they slowly stoped , but they didn't completely stop. skelitas hair drives me crazy. btw great video ;)
I had several dolls with this problem, and I shampooed and shampooed, but that didn't work so,I looked for solutions on the Internet. . . This works! Thank you.
Have you tried dry shampoo? It's powder that comes in a spray can, in America you can get it in a brunette color so it will work with darker shades. I use it on my real hair to get rid of grease and it works wonders.
I never knew something like this could happen to dolls! :o now I'll have this in mind everytime xD but it's a relief to know there's some kind of solution out there, thanks for the tutorial! :D
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I used this after soaking them in coconut oil (which also works really well) and all their hair is super soft and nice!!
Thanks for this! I have a gorgeous Frankie Stein doll that came out of the box with a bunch of sticky and gross glue on the back of her head. I'm gonna try this and some other methods to hopefully get her back up to snuff!
Well, I used oxi clean on a Rochelle once and it worked, though I had to let the hair in the oxi clean solution for 3-5 days then washed it (I don't remember if I did boil wash or regular wash) then later on I used just a little baby powder to soak up any excess that remained, it mainly depends on how bad the glue seepage is. I know someone first used baby powder, then washed the hair, then put a ton of baby powder inside the head and let it there for hours then shook some excess but still let a considerable amount of powder when they put the head back in place, they used a first release Elissabat. Also you may need to re-apply baby powder to the scalp of any doll you curl and/boil wash since it will start seeping a little again (personal experience on that one), I used a small brush (paint/makeup) to apply it. Have a nice day!
I have a vandals doll from the haunted line and for some reason, no matter how much I haveboil washed it her hair is big, poofy and just ugly!! Any tips?
I just got my first Monster High Draculaura doll today at a flea market and her pigtail holders popped when I was adjusting her hair, so then I was watching your videos and this one popped up and I just might try this :) now off to find powder!
Did her hair get lighter or anything? and which twyla doll was it i currently have the 13 wishes one (her og) and i’m worried if her purple streaks will fade. I washed her today with boiling hot water which yea…wasn’t smart.
*I highly recommend using vegetable oil. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but it really works wonders!* *Using a silver dollar sized amount of oil (size varies depending on doll), I thoroughly scrubbed my Barbie doll's hair and scalp for a few minutes with my fingers. Used dish soap to thoroughly remove the oil (might have to wash hair a few times depending on how much oil is used) with luke warm water and cold blew dried her hair.* *It worked perfectly! There is a very slight greasy texture, but the sticky residue is completely gone and her hair feels silky smooth and is so shiny! She looks like she just came out of a L'oréal commercial! Give it a try if you're having trouble with your doll's hair.*
I tried this on a Monster High doll and it worked quite well! She had really sticky and gross hair but now it is very smooth! You definitely need to wash the hair quite a bit to remove the oil from the hair.
I have tried spraying furniture polish in the hair and let stand for 30 minutes and wash the hair with shampoo . Then condition with regular hair condition , rinse and let air dry. And your done. Clean shinny hair.
Awesome tip!!! 👍🏻 I've also saw another video here on RUclips that someone used fabric softer to help greasy hair dolls. You can give that a try, anywhom awesome video!
YAAAAS!! I used this on my oporetta doll, it did make her hair pale however, combing it through with a simple comb reduces the light hair from the doll. Thanks for the great totorial
I tried the same on three of my dolls and it worked thank you for helping me with my monster high dolls hair I did not know that it was the glue that was doing that to there hair it looks so much better now
this is scary and dangerous to the dolls face but I used acetone and it removed all the greasy tar glue out of the hair with no damage to it. it worked but you have to be super careful or you will lose your dolls face and scalp paint. I'll have to try your method and see how it works. :) great video!
Hope this helps someone :) Unless you dont have a Frankie doll and wanna keep the white residue to whiten the hair which is a really cool advantage, let the powder sit on the hair and scalp for a while, I left it on overnight not really necessary but yea just a long ish period of time if its needed, then afterwards wash it out with dish soap or shampoo and condition, thisssss works so well trust me, ur welcome
got incredibly lucky thrifting today and i found a TON of mh dolls, although most of them have incredibly greasy hair it actually kinda disgusts me with the texture 😭😭 still very happy though and hopefully something like this will be easy enough
My method for getting rid of greasy doll hair is goo gone along with dish soap. I've used this method several times and it's worked every time.👌 Spray some goo gone into the hair, rinse thoroughly, wash with soap, then air dry. Then after u can continue on as if the doll never had a glue problem.😄
+LCA Ever After High "Goo Gone" It is a house cleaning product for removing adhesive, lipstick and wax etc. I have done quite a few dolls with success too with it. Specifically a Nefera. It is an oily product on its own, so after about a 20 minute sitting on scalp, then wash thoroughly with dish soap or laundry soap.
After you put the power in and rubbed it well then wash it out with shampoo and then condisner it works like a treat and you can do it on dark haired dolls as well I have done a few of my barbie fashionistas and it's just wonderful best of luck
this worked thanks! a bit messy but still worth it. my dolls hair was very greasy and I am trying to find out new methods. one method I found out id dawn dish soap works very well on dolls hairs too. I've had this doll for about 4 months and I come back on this vid to tell you thank you!
This worked for me, I had just unboxed a doll and her hair was greasy! So I immediately looked up a video on how to help it, now my draculaura doll can also do some hair flips! 😊
Thanks for this. I actually tried it on a Cerisse doll with a great glue problem in her hair, and after my experience, I can actually say that you can use this method on dark-haired doll, it just takes more time. If you apply this on a dark haired doll, do it the same way you did it in the video, but then take a cloth or a piece of paper cloth (whatever is called in english) and clean the excess of powder in the hair. The hair may keep a tad of greyish, but if you clean it well enough, it will go back to it's original color at least an 85%. I prefer that than to have the super-glue-hairdo. Now my Cerise is back to nice hair.
I use bathroom cleaner with hydrogen peroxide I let the hair soak in it overnight and wash it out in the morning it usually works AMAZINGLY. I find that when I use baby powder it makes the hair super chalky and dry. But when I use my method it feels brand new. (Also if it doesn’t work the first time you can repeat the process over and over until you’re happy)
Maybe you could remove the doll head, and use some kind of acetone or goo gone to remove the glue inside the doll head. You could also do it on the outside to fix the sticky hair problem. When the inside glue is dissolved, just add fabric glue in the inside to replace the old glue.
I bought an economy Gigi doll to use for customizing, and her hair was rather sticky and greasy. I just used this trick on her and it worked like a charm. I rinsed a bit of the powder out to keep some of the shine, so it's still a little sticky, but it's much better. Plus, now her hair smells great!
Cherry H yeah when I was 8 I had the original Claudia and I loved her but she had really bad greasy hair and I saw a dollightful vid where she made cupcake and I used baby powder and was so happy that it worked but I don’t have her anymore and I miss her :(
As many people suggested, you should leave the powder in for several hours and then wash it out. I've tried it but I'm not a fan, the powder is hard to rinse out of the hair and the smell makes me ill. I want to try with other powders like baking soda or starch, I'll let you know how it goes.
thanx 4 this powder tip. tried on my New Scaremester Jinafire Long doll as her hair was just constantly (yuck!) after following the powder tip, her hair now flows like my other dolls, im a male adult collector and am always on the lookout for great tips... so thnx so much
Omg thank you so much! I have a old doll that I found in the depths of an old box that’s been in store for like five years. And I really want to repair her because all my other Monster High dolls are all nice and pretty and I literally found her naked with waxy hair. I gave her a bath, and found her clothes but her hair is still waxy! So hopefully I have powder and I can use this method.
Hi! I didn’t have baby powder so I used baking powder but I wasn’t happy with the results. Then I remember my husband used goo gone to removed stickers and it’s too soon to say anything because the hair is still wet but it feels Better than before
It seems that whenever I get Draculauras (I buy a lot of dolls second-hand, for modding purposes, they won't look like they did anyway, so the condition where I get them in isn't too important), the hair is *always* more or less gluey. Venus for some reason seems to usually always dodge it in the long part of her hair though.
OMG!!!!😱😱😱 THIS ACTUALLY WORKED!!! THANK U SO MUCH BUT NOW MY DOLLS HAIR IS GREY INSTED OF BLACK LIKE U SAID BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!😍😍😍 NOW HER HAIR CAN ACUALLY MOVE NOW THANK U THANK U THANK U!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍 (P.S. your the best 😛✌)
After brushing the baby powder Out I usually follow up with washing the hair with dish soap and then I just recondition the hair. It works for me and I believe the dish soap isn't causing any damage. The hair looks normal after that and it doesn't have the weird feeling of baby powder.
you think dry shampoo would work too? i habe dark hair and i use that product often and my hair looks perfect so you think it would be tha same in dolls hair.
I have a mermaid Barbie who has nasty glue hair. She did have a stain on her box behind her head. I didn't know what that stain was. Thank you! I have to try this!
I have a greasy headed Mirror Beach Ashlynn that I shampooed 3 times. I even put baby powder in her hair and then washed it out~ still greasy. I think I should leave the powder in like you showed us. She's a stubborn one but I love her face! I think it's prettier than the original Ashlynn. They all have their good features and my collection has grown to 14 now. I'm waiting for Duchess Swann (and 3 others) from Amazon. :D .
Thanks for this! I just got a Tiana and a Merida doll from the second hand store, and their hair feels so weird! I asked my mom and her opinion was it is the type of material that the hair is, or the manufacturer put something in the hair to make it stay. I have washed their hair with Dawn like 50 times lol I will try powder...
If you don't want to keep all that powder in her hair, all you have to do is wash it out. The baby powder soaks up the grease, which means when you wash it out, the grease goes away, along with the powder. I used this method on my Ashlynn Ella doll. I hope this helps!!!:D

I use this powder method too. I find that brushing the powder through the hair helps to get as much of the leaking glue out as possible, and it also helps to keep adding powder as you brush it, then when I'm finished with the powder, I wash the hair using hot water as hot as it will go from the tap (not boiling mind you) and a bowl of some sort and I dunk the head into the water and dip it up and down like dipping a tea bag for 10 seconds then I use baby shampoo because it's very mild and helps to remove all of the excess powder on the head and hair.

Iris Aragoneses Guzmán No problem. if it still does feel a little sticky do the powder method again and rewash.
all the dolls you have mention are the one I also have problem with except Ariel because I don't have her and I ended up cutting all her hair😢
my opinión If the greasiness comes back a bit, just repeat the powder and washing process. I did with all my dolls I mentioned and it helped to get rid of the remaining or slight new greasiness and it hasn't come back since.

@angeloroque1427 Is this only for blonde hair? Will it bleach other colors?
You're a miracle worker!! Thank you so much!!
Ah, this is such a good idea! I’ll have to try this.
Maybe you could remove the doll head, and use some kind of acetone or goo gone to remove the glue inside the doll head. You could also do it on the outside to fix the sticky hair problem. When the inside glue is dissolved, just add fabric glue in the inside to replace the old glue.
@kurt5987 Have you tried it? If you get rid of all the glue, won't the hair fall out?
thank you so.much. I have an ashlynn Ella doll with super greasy hair and I can't get rid of it. I'm gonna use this. you're a doll life saver.
Thank you for the information, I have washed my MH dolls hair with borax and conditioned them which works decently. I will try your method now.
Thank u for this video I just bought barbies & one bratz doll from the thrift store! Their hair is a mess right now going to do this for their hair!
I bought an economy Gigi doll to use for customizing, and her hair was rather sticky and greasy. I just used this trick on her and it worked like a charm. I rinsed a bit of the powder out to keep some of the shine, so it's still a little sticky, but it's much better. Plus, now her hair smells great!
I was about to fix that exact Same doll thank you!
Yeah, my Claudia now looks like a bright yellow lol
Cherry H yeah when I was 8 I had the original Claudia and I loved her but she had really bad greasy hair and I saw a dollightful vid where she made cupcake and I used baby powder and was so happy that it worked but I don’t have her anymore and I miss her :(
THIS SAVED MY LIFE!
thank you so much for giving me finally a solution to my problem. thank you so much!
As many people suggested, you should leave the powder in for several hours and then wash it out. I've tried it but I'm not a fan, the powder is hard to rinse out of the hair and the smell makes me ill. I want to try with other powders like baking soda or starch, I'll let you know how it goes.
How did it go? Did it work with baking soda?
my og monster highs hair is SO GREASY! thank you!!
OMG THANKS SO MUCH MY EVER AFTER HIGH HAD THE SOME THING THANKS SO MUCH
thanx 4 this powder tip. tried on my New Scaremester Jinafire Long doll as her hair was just constantly (yuck!) after following the powder tip, her hair now flows like my other dolls, im a male adult collector and am always on the lookout for great tips... so thnx so much
Omg thank you so much! I have a old doll that I found in the depths of an old box that’s been in store for like five years. And I really want to repair her because all my other Monster High dolls are all nice and pretty and I literally found her naked with waxy hair. I gave her a bath, and found her clothes but her hair is still waxy! So hopefully I have powder and I can use this method.
Omg I’ve never seen a doll with more greasy hair ever!
Hi! I didn’t have baby powder so I used baking powder but I wasn’t happy with the results. Then I remember my husband used goo gone to removed stickers and it’s too soon to say anything because the hair is still wet but it feels Better than before
It seems that whenever I get Draculauras (I buy a lot of dolls second-hand, for modding purposes, they won't look like they did anyway, so the condition where I get them in isn't too important), the hair is *always* more or less gluey. Venus for some reason seems to usually always dodge it in the long part of her hair though.
OMG!!!!😱😱😱 THIS ACTUALLY WORKED!!! THANK U SO MUCH BUT NOW MY DOLLS HAIR IS GREY INSTED OF BLACK LIKE U SAID BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!😍😍😍 NOW HER HAIR CAN ACUALLY MOVE NOW THANK U THANK U THANK U!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍🌈😍 (P.S. your the best 😛✌)
It worked all I did is wash it and when I found your video I tried it and it worked
thanks for the tip,my niece has been very upset about the glue in her mtm barbie and we've tried (almost) everything!!😁
dry shampoo works as well I tried it on my Twyla 13 Wishes and it works really well
After brushing the baby powder Out I usually follow up with washing the hair with dish soap and then I just recondition the hair. It works for me and I believe the dish soap isn't causing any damage. The hair looks normal after that and it doesn't have the weird feeling of baby powder.
If you read this I hope you have a good day 😍😍😍😍😍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You too!
Yesenia Araujo thanks
you think dry shampoo would work too? i habe dark hair and i use that product often and my hair looks perfect so you think it would be tha same in dolls hair.
Wow this is amazing! She looks beautiful!
I have a mermaid Barbie who has nasty glue hair. She did have a stain on her box behind her head. I didn't know what that stain was. Thank you! I have to try this!
Just got a new monster high cat doll I forgot her name and I washed her hair 3 times and it didn't work thank u for this video it helped my doll ❤
I do same thing but I wash dolls hair at the end so it's ok to do dark hair dolls
Powder seems to work for my daughter's dolls. thankx!!!
Really helpful! Thank you!
I have a greasy headed Mirror Beach Ashlynn that I shampooed 3 times. I even put baby powder in her hair and then washed it out~ still greasy. I think I should leave the powder in like you showed us. She's a stubborn one but I love her face! I think it's prettier than the original Ashlynn. They all have their good features and my collection has grown to 14 now. I'm waiting for Duchess Swann (and 3 others) from Amazon. :D
.
You have saved my daughter's Draculaura! Thanks so much for this!
Thanks for this! I just got a Tiana and a Merida doll from the second hand store, and their hair feels so weird! I asked my mom and her opinion was it is the type of material that the hair is, or the manufacturer put something in the hair to make it stay. I have washed their hair with Dawn like 50 times lol I will try powder...
I'll try this in the next few days for my Rochelle Goyle doll. I'll edit this comment once I've done it. :)
is she a greaseball :(
omg it turned out amazing she had a lot of glue in her hair
