When you steam doll hair, do you put the iron on the hair or up to it?

Plastic hand-held steamers can be purchased quite inexpensively online or at places like Target. The plastic parts of the steamer will not harm your doll's wig, and the steam works wonders to smooth and straighten slightly frizzy hair. Like Taffy said, steam is also good for setting in new curls when your doll's hair is in curlers.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">So, so, so true. Do not use a "steam iron" as it will cause the doll's hair to melt as soon as the mass of the iron gets close to the hair. As Jeanette says, get a plastic "steamer" -- you can find them at Walgreens, other stores and on the web: http://asseenontvandmore.com/bsteamquicst.html
