I'm looking at this molly on ebay and she is gorgeous and a great price except her hair looks like it is dry on the ends. Could any one tell me if I could make her hair like new if I did that downy dunk shiny spray restoration project? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've never tried the Downey Dunk thing but I think she looks great. You should buy her before someone else does! - Meg B.
I dont see anything wrong with her hair. She looks fine to me. [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img] I would get her while you can!
Her hair isn't smooth on the ends, it looks frizzy and I wouldn't be happy with that unless it was temporary...am I seeing things...does it not seem frizzy to you?
Her hair looks great, but the very ends do look a little frizzed. The Dunk should help and especially the steamer. Our Kaya's hair was similar and steaming made a world of difference. Good luck!
It does look a little frizzy, but not bad at all. I would go for it while you can...$60 is a great price for a PM doll.
I need to know though if it can be fixed first, I won't be happy with her if it cannot be. I saw a makeover of Samantha and kirsten in pictures, but I'm not sure that I could do that. Does anyone know if the person who fixed their hair would do my Molly's if I paid her?
I bought a Molly in similar condition awhile back, and the treatment worked like a charm. I would definitely recommend getting her; even if you aren't totally happy with the results, she is bound to be much improved, and you could re-sell her at a profit.
I just did my '95 agt#20 and I couldn't get a brush through her hair. I did the downey dunk in the zip lock, then rinsed, washed it with wig shampoo, then rinsed again, towel dry and waited about 2 hrs. Then I used sleek and shine from Fructis, just a dab and then I used a hair straightener on a low setting, started in the back with small sections, using the brush and adding a drop of sleek and shine to the ends I missed and it turned out wonderful, she is so pretty and I have brushed her hair and styled it, first time in 10 yrs. You can do it, get the doll if you really want her. [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img]
It's so easy, you really won't have any problems. Just follow Joy's step-by-step directions. I was timid before I Dunk'd Kaya but it was so easy, I started looking for dolls to "do"! Still trying to get my hands on DD's friend's Addy. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Thanks for the advice, but it sounds complicated and I would be so disappointed if I tried and it didn't work to the degree that I hoped...so I think I'll wait and see if I can find a molly who doesn't need the treatment.
Instead of using an Iron, I use a warm heat humidifier. No chance in burning anyone up.
Honestly, it is really easy!!!
I do see the frizzy ends. In the "Downey Dunk" routine, it's not just the Downey part that deals with the frizzies, usually. Usually it's the combination of the cleaning with the shampoo, plus the Downey soak, plus the steaming that works. And often it's the steaming that does the most work on the frizzies, in the end. But it's almost impossible to predict what the full outcome will be. It's always a gamble, and always a nice surprise when you make as much progress as you do.

PS Just to be clear, the steaming is done with a plastic steamer that looks like an iron, but it's not really an iron. It's pretty important to not try to steam this kind of hair with a real iron. All that hot metal would definitely make the frizzies worse.

She's really beautiful. Good luck.
She is so pretty! But someone got her!
