Hi licensed cosmetologist here as well, American girl actually uses human grade kanekalon, which is produced the same way kanekalon for human wigs is produced. When I did my training for American girl salon I noticed they glossed over a lot of things we covered in synthetic hair manufacturing in school. Mainly because their demographic is children and children aren’t going to purchase products for dolls specifically. You definitely can use products manufactured for kanekalon or synthetic hair , it’s just not marketed that way because contextually it makes no sense and they also need to funnel business into the salon. It’s a big system.
Yes! They do. I just don’t like to recommend product because not everyone has the same training/ cosmetology background like we do. So i try to stay clear from confusion 😅
I use synthetic wig spray on all my dolls hair. They only issue I have is it can get a bit greasy if I use too much, but it has literally saved by 96 Kirstens and Samanthas hair. I also have figured out a way to use it on Evette, so now I can braid, twist, and do all sorts of styles on Evette without it getting frizzy.
Great video! I had never seen Makenas hair out of her braids. Could you do a video in the future on protective styles like box braids on Black dolls with textured hair like Makena or Addy, or recommend anyone who’s made doll tutorials for protective styles?
Ahhh she looks so cute and fierce in that hair style ! They did a great a job at the salon with her. I’ve seen someone on Instagram who brushed her hair and looks very thick, I was curious to see how it would look.
Thank you for showing that the AG bag fits on adults! I’ve been wondering. I love her braids, but she looks great with other styles too! Also, your nails are GORGEOUS!
I loveeee your channel! I'm getting my first AG soon and I'm trying to decide which one I want. Evette and I have very similar personalities but Corrine and Makena are just SOOOO beautiful.
WOW! That looks amazing! I've really wanted Makena since she came out and I still don't have her. Thanks for the advice! I really want to put her hair in micro braids.

I love watching her work on the hair! So pretty. This one is on her way to me now!

Of course! Will def consider that to be a future video❤️

Did you do the hot water dunk on her hair? I have kendall the wellie wisher, if I do a hot water dunk will it take out the texturing of her hair?
Flat iron on very low heat.
I would be crying because you have really long nails and I can NOT do long nails and what if you don’t have a ag store in you city?
