💇‍♀️ How to Care and Style Your Reborn Baby’s Hair: Tips from JudysNursery.com

Reborn dolls are cherished for their realism, and one of the most striking features is their hair. At JudysNursery.com, each reborn baby is crafted with precision, often featuring hand-rooted mohair—fine strands made from the Angora goat that mimic the softness and texture of a real infant’s hair. But this delicate material requires special care to keep it looking natural and smooth.

Here’s how to care for and style your reborn baby’s hair like a pro.

🧴 1. Use the Right Products

• Distilled water is best for misting the hair. Tap water can leave residue or cause frizz.
• A gentle baby conditioner or mohair-specific spray can help soften and detangle strands.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol-based products—they can damage the mohair and fade the color.

🪮 2. Detangle with Care

• Use a soft-bristle baby brush or a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle.
• Always start from the ends and work your way up to the roots.
• Hold the hair near the scalp while brushing to avoid pulling on the delicate rooting.

💦 3. Mist, Don’t Soak

• Lightly mist the hair with distilled water before styling.
• Never soak the doll’s head—excess moisture can loosen the glue that holds the hair in place.

🎀 4. Style Gently

• For curls, use your fingers or a soft brush to shape the hair while damp.
• For straight styles, gently brush and lay the hair flat with a soft cloth.
• Avoid heat styling tools like blow dryers or curling irons—they can permanently damage mohair.

🧼 5. Maintain Regular Care

• Style the hair only when necessary to avoid wear.
• Store your reborn doll in a cool, dry place with a soft cap or bonnet to protect the hair.
• If the hair becomes matted or frizzy, a light mist and gentle brushing usually restore its softness.
