Thanks for posting that link! I might need to look into getting one of those myself.

I used a Conair brand, it was $20 at my local ShopKo (like K-Mart). To see pictures of all the products I used check my album.

This steamer worked really well, and I had to re-fill the water only once per doll.

Good luck!

Starla, after searching for it off and on for several weeks I finally found the exact model of steamer that Joy uses in her doll restoration album -- Steam Quick. Try this link:

It was very reasonable -- $4.99 plus shipping which came to a total of $11.87.

I hope this helps!

I just ordered a Rowenta from QVC. It has a plastic plate that you can put over the metal plate. I like that, because then I can also iron with it. I wanted the plastic plate, so I can steam doll hair if I need to.

It was a little more expensive...28.99, but I think still a real bargain!

We got ours from Shopko, too; Conair for $20. It works well. I was amazed the difference steaming made. I read somewhere, can't remember & I've deleted the email, that you can also use boiling water to dip the hair in? Anyone else tried this?
