Madame Alexander 18" doll
Style #50970
Let me just say here that I feel the Madame Alexander dolls
Have truly lovely faces. The hair is not the quality
of the AG dolls, but in every other way they are
a great 18" doll.
Found this girl at a thrift store for $1.50.
Her hair was in bad shape.
And, she was a little grimy.
So, hairwash. Downy dunk for just an hour or two.
While her hair was soaking I gave her a baking soda bath.
You can see here how much dirt came off!
While her hair is still slightly damp I used
a ceramic (NOT METAL!) flat iron set on lowest setting.
Small sections at a time I smoothed her hair.
Here is a straightened strand.
Added 3/27/15
(NOTE: I am now recommending using wig
shampoo and conditioner, instead of the downy dunk!!)
AND HERE SHE IS!!
Her hair is in a layered style.
As usual I was going to sell her, but
Sophie named her

You always find the coolest dolls to redo and you do such a good job with them! She looks so much better, I love her layered hair.
Also--I have my girls all decked out in warm jammies now thanks to your tip about the preemie clothes, way too cute.
Thank you! I have been so lucky with my finds lately!
OH! and glad all your girls have warm jammies!
How neat! Hello Skyler. Love the name.
Thanks Sharon! Skyler has been a great addition to our doll family.
I have a few of those dolls and of course AMGirl
