Barbie Fashionista #240's Hair Treatment

Barbie Fashionista #240's hair before conditioning

As discussed and illustrated in my previous post and the photo above, the ends of Barbie Fashionista #240's wavy hair appeared dry upon arrival. 

#240 is prepared to receive hair treatment.

To remedy the dry appearance, I removed her clothes, wrapped a rubber band around her hair near the ends, secured a paper towel around her body with tape, and applied Salon Selectives Curl Stretch Cream and water to the hair ends.*

The pre-treated hair is banded near the dry ends.

The rubber band was removed, and Salon Selectives Curl Stretching Cream and water were combed through the doll's hair.

I combed the curl cream through and replaced the paper towel with a baby washcloth to protect the doll's body from the cream. I secured the washcloth with a hair clip. She stood inside a mug on the windowsill overnight to dry.

After drying overnight, the waves and curled ends appear more vibrant.

Next, she was redressed.

The curl stretch cream and water created curl definition and added sheen. *I could have used mousse instead, but I'm satisfied with the results.
