So I tried alcohol and orange oil method several times and it worked perfectly, but I tried only using alcohol too. Since essential oils are kind of expensive even short amounts. And it worked beautifully as well! I tried alcohol-only way once, so there could be different result though. Btw I used 100% alcohol and did human hair conditioner after alcohol washing.
Where do you get 100% Alkohol... I'm in Germany and even Hand sanitizer has just 80% Isopropyl or Ethanol/Propanol so were can i get it? Drug store (Apotheke) just has 70€ Ethanol
The Isopropyl and Oil Mixture worked so well for me! Thank you, this video is a life saver!
Great! Thanks!
That's so exciting! Thanks for testing out different methods!
I didn't have much luck with oxy but I did repeat the polish process and found it did work, great video thanks for sharing :)
I see this is an old video but I just came across so maybe some people seeing it first time like me I'd like to add the Cif wash treatment as a recommendation. I've seen doll collectors online using that method, I have an OG Frankie too and kept jer n box for 10 years and she has same coloured and kinda sticky hair, I',ll try that method for sure
I read somewhere that it's not actually glue seepage but it's a wax that they put in the hair to keep it silky, no frizz, and also it keeps it in the style they made.
That’s interesting. I had not heard that before.
You are awesome. Thank u for taking the time to experiment so my lazy self can go straight to what works best. Haha. Kudos
Thanks. 😆
I am currently testing Permatex Fast Orange hand cleaner: The kind mechanics use on their hands after working on cars, except it doesn’t have pumice in it. The ingredients are: water in an emulsion with alcohol, lanoline, Aloe Vera, Jojoba and Vitamin A. It also contains some ingredients some would consider ‘unpronounceable’ and therefore unsafe, but in my opinion, if it’s safe to use on your hands according to the FDA, it is safe enough to cover a barbie’s head as long as it is washed well out. I use this as a regular hand cleanser as I have chronically dry skin and I love it. I never thought to use it on a barbie’s head before. ;).
My plan is to leave it on her head for 2 hours, rinse it with tepid water, and then dunk her in some high dishsoap/water liquid a couple of time to get rid of the lanolin and the other oils. Since like dissolves like (which is the basic principle of how this cleanser works, plus the microemulsion with water means that it will rinse off with water taking the gunk with it), I kinda think it will work. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before.
I apologize for my grumpy attitude last night. As a biologist with a working knowledge of chemistry, I get a little twitchy at the words ‘safe’ ‘unsafe’. But the rubbing alcohol results seem very promising and I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before. The reason your barbie still looked greasy after was likely the orange oil you had added to the alcohol (not sure why people think orange oil will remove glue). One thing that works for sure is pure acetone. I only know this is because I customize dolls and I shrunk a EAH Melody’s head in acetone 3X times with hair intact, successfully with no glue to be seen afterward. But people might not be comfortable with that. Probably nail polish remover would work as well (with a dishwashing liquid washing liquid wash afterward to remove the added oils).
I should add that acetone should be used cautiously as it does dissolve some times of doll hair. I have tested it on nylon and saran, and it was fine. I have seen the results of using it on acetate hair and let’s just say it turns incredibly kinky.
Did the permatax method work?? What was the result?
Maybe if they used wigs caps like they do American girl dolls we would have no problem with the hair.
Goo Gone absolutely works and I haven't had it damage the dolls at all. I wad tryi g everything on that goopy glue mess, and saw the goo gone (its a chemical and smells like it has lemon oil in it as well,) and thought well what can it hurt to try, so bought it at dollar tree. I washed and conditioned the hair first and let it dry all the way, than poured some on my palm (if your sensitive to chemicals please wear gloves, a mask and eye protection, I'm an old idiot and don't always follow safety precautions) anyway I massaged it into the doll hair throughly and left it alone for 10 minutes, than came back to it and squeezeed out the excess goo gone and used dawn dish soap to wash the goo gone out of the hair, than I washed and conditioned her hair again, and viola the gluey gloppy mess was gonw and she had sopt beautiful hair, best of all I didn't have to reroot her hair.
I love your vids
Thanks!
It's great to have no goo gone methods. I don't like harsh chemicals
Gonna try oil. Then several washes with dish soap. Let's see!
Alcohol will only break down glue until it evaporates, so if you want to give it a serious go, you need to keep the head dunked for whatever amount of time you decide to test.
hey i've been looking at your videos and i just bought a clawdia recently but when i opened the box her hair was sticky! no matter how many times I wash it is there an alternative to baby powder? i currently don't own any and i was wondering if maybe cornstarch would work?
Check out my Fixing Doll Hair playlist. There are other options.
do you have oil of any type? bought a Merida doll & the hair was extremely greasy feeling so I used a bit of oil & shampoo/ body wash anything really that sticks to oil
Regular blue Dawn dishwashing detergent works great, you can get it at the Dollar tree. It’s a degreaser so it will remove the stickiness for a while until the glue seeps back out again then you can just wash it again with the Dawn.
Is it glue seepage if the doll's hair feels greasy, but isn't sticky? I mean, it made my fingers a little sticky, but not really.
If it doesn’t wash out with dish soap and cool/warm water, it is probably glue seepage
I've used coconut oil and baking soda mixture, but I suspect any type of oil would work.
Did it work?
@@amoonnotfound6439 peanut oil worked for me
thanks, I have both of these at home so it should be easy
Where did you get such a large bottle of essential oil? Most of the ones I see are tiny and expensive.
I think I got it off Amazon and didn’t realize it was that big until it arrived
@@HoneyBeeHappyMe Thank you! I'll definitely have to check Amazon then
For the home remedy treatment mixture do u have to use orange essential oil?
That’s the only essential oil I tried. I’m not sure if it’s the citrus or the oil or both that is important.
Ok
I have problems with my ever after high dolls doing that too. I am too scared to try to fix their problems.
You can try just using the regular blue Dawn detergent! It will cut the grease in the hair and make it nice. Then use talcum powder at the roots that will absorb the glue as it seeps out of the head. Then just reuse the Dawn detergent as needed.
I think what works best is car engine degreaser. Do it outside, and yes it is toxic, but gets the grease out. At least temporarily.
The purpose of testing these other options is because commenters were asking for safer less toxic options. Some of them thought Goo Gone was to harsh. 😉
Do you think its a good idea to do these methods inside the head itself? I kind of want to do it to permanently fix this issue but I'm afraid all the hair will come out lol
The glue holds the hair inside the head. If you pour GooGone or the homemade version i put together directly into the head, it will probably dissolve the glue. I would guess the hair would then fall out. I haven’t tried it; I’m just guessing.
@@HoneyBeeHappyMe Okay thanks for your comment. I guess I'm not gonna put it inside the head haha. Btw, I used sweet almond oil on one of my dolls hair and the glue came off really well. Maybe you can try this out and see if it works for you too.
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@aprilpinetwinkle1406
Did it work? ^^
Will the glue gone dip method work with just glue gone
You can just spray goo gone on the doll’s hair concentrating on the roots. You don’t have to dip the head in. If that’s what you mean.
Do you think that only alcohol would also work?
★MagicUniverse★ I would have to try it again to see.
Does the bottled goo gone (not spray bottle)work the same ?
It does. I find it is better to not dunk the doll’s whole head though.
So if I put it in a spray bottle it will be good ?
@@mayachan7675 I think it should be fine.
Your barbie’s hair still looks oily - it shouldn’t be looking stringy.
It was fine after I washed it a second time.
