Kenner Blythe Clean Up And Hair Help

[@MichelleVanWeert]

I loved your 2 videos on receiving your Kenner in the mail and then cleanup and restoration. You were painstaking in your efforts to show us every step. Brilliant results.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed them. There's nothing like rescuing an older doll, it's so satisfying 😍

[@masolh]

In the channel A Thousand Splendid Dolls Shelly always uses stain catchers when washing doll clothes. I guess that is helpful. If you have not taken a look a that channel I really recommend it.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I will check that out! This is really the first time this has ever happened to me, it was a shock! Guess there's a first time for everything 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@anacalderon2141]

It has been a pity....the dress was really cheerful and suits her perfectly.

[@sidneygreenglass106]

There are a few little floral dresses on ebay that are just like the one in your video. They are listed under Kenner Blythe.

[@sandyanderson7405]

She came out great!!!! The hair look lovely now.

[@psmith-kk3ex]

I have had luck with fabric softener for doll frizzy ends. It helps to smooth them out some.

[@prestontimnahdockery8701]

I’ve run a vintage clothing business for 12+ years, dye bleed on fabric like this is really common. There is a product called Synthropal that’s is amazing for dye run, it’s my first go to. If that doesn’t work Carbona color run powder is fantastic but can over strip if you aren’t careful. I agree with trying vinegar at first as well.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much for the tips!!

[@lacygullage971]

Vinegar can help and some people use color catchers. I have never tried those. I have had a lot of trouble with the red dye in vintage CPK clothes and with the blue dye in the jean outfits. It's really frustrating, especially when it transfers to other parts of the outfit that were not red or blue. :(

[@ALT-vz3jn]

I’ve had the exact same experience with brightly-colored CPK clothes. I put a color catcher in the water and use ice-cold water with woolite, and just soak them the minimum amount of time to get them clean. One of my boy dolls has the bear overalls outfit with a striped top and the red stripes bled all over. Fortunately I was able to get the bleeding out, but yeah I was freaking 😂

[@tygerstripes3752]

I used an Oxi product on a vintage fashion doll dress once. It melted -- I think it was a rayon. So I avoid Oxi products for washing doll clothes since. I love the way your doll's hair came out! Great job.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Yikes! I've used it for so long with such good results this was absolutely shocking to me! But never again!! I've learned my lesson.

[@TeenyTinkers]

This was really neat to wash! I might pick up some of that hair product for some of my drier synthetic wigs :)

[@melsmith110]

She turned out lovely! Thank you for the tips, I know it can be tedious but so worth it in the end!

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@cm1960]

Thanks for the video! Love your new Kenner Blythe, she is amazing. 😍 You did a great job resorting her. When I saw what happened to her dress, I felt your pain. Ugghh worst! So sorry that totally sucks that happened.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much! Luckily she'll have a really pretty new dress soon 😍

[@BlytheWorld1972]

All i will say is the more you do the flat iron treatment the better the hair will be you can keep going till is more or less minty the trick is using small amounts of hair the less hair you use the better the results x

[@amyhotchkiss2256]

I have had good results using dawn dish soap on hair & clothes because it cuts through any oils & grim. Even as a pre-wash for the hair, then followup with a conditioner. For lace & white things I use peroxide (it's a bit more gentle than bleach), sometimes baking soda with a touch of dish soap

[@birdiesbabies5612]

Omigosh! You performed a miracle! She looks sooo much better! I love that hair color. That was very cool!

[@lindydiddle6253]

Her hair turned out so much better than I thought it would! Kind of sad about the dress, but you can always find new outfits for your Blythes. God knows I have a boatload of Blythe clothes and outfits!

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

True that about more outfits 🥰

[@SaraA92]

Thanks for this video, it's very useful! I'm sorry about the dress and unfortunately a similar thing happened to me too and I haven't been able to fix it yet. By the way she is very beautiful!

[@divinemischief4655]

She looks amazing. I've seen those dresses on EBay Great video xx

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much! Yeah I've seen them sell for around $30 so I may just watch and waitm

[@PabloconPvlog]

I think you did an amazing job, that hair looks way better than before so congrats 💜

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@pambrandon4186]

It is too bad about the color bleeding. I use braid spray or wig spray (made for synthetic hair) to treat the hair that is frizzy. It has a plasticizer in it to fix the really dry frizzy hair. I haven't been able to find the Sun of a Gun around where I live.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Did you name her ? my first kenner was a red head i called her Polly .

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Great you use the Hair straighteners i use mine with fab results .

[@gbalonso8261]

Have u tried q tip bleaching? It takes a while but I might help next time if u get a new dress

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I haven't but I will give it a try next time, thank you for the tip!

[@sadiepeterson1756]

Ice and vinegar together will lock the dye in. I would bleach with your paste the cuffs and lace just be careful it can fall apart if bleached to hard. I kinda of like the dress now, personally. I know things like that can be so frustrating; she looks so much better. 👍👏🎆 have you ever tried after your woolite doing delicates fabric softener ( a nicer one) it's can work like a deep conditioner and shine treatment it will help with those ends.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I have used fabric softener on hair plenty of times but I don't like to use it on more expensive dolls because it can get sort of sticky and gross over time sometimes. I usually only use it on cheaper dolls or as a last resort.

[@tamiwallace7572]

She looks great! Huge improvement! Have you seen people use fabric softener on doll hair? I've seen it on Barbies. That hair texture might be different. All in all, she looks 100% better!

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I have and I have used it on hair before that is completely destroyed almost but I don't like to use it too often bc the smell is strong and it can get sticky over time.

[@tamiwallace7572]

@@MunecasPoupeesDolls Gotcha, that makes perfect sense! You did a beautiful job in this little Ginger.

[@haruhi7745]

Thank You for sharing your tips. I will try it for my Blythe doll🤗🤗🤗🤗🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@maryannisgood]

You r Amazing. Just found one in box. Not taken out. Excellent info! And fun!🎉

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Wow what an amazing find! Congratulations 🎉

[@BlytheWorld1972]

The way you do the hair is almost like me i go very slow and nearly strand by strand if you go slow and do that the better the results

[@evabernal1639]

Wow! The things we do for love! 😱💪🏼 amazing work Allison! 😍💕❤️

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@kpixiewings_Kelley]

If none of the dye removal techniques work, you could reverse course and age it more for an antique look as a consolation. (Tea stain, distressed fabric paint, that idea).

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Ooooo now that's a great idea!!

[@mariacorona8535]

Hola gracias por tus tips para el cuidado de la muñecas. Boy haser lo así gracias por con partir pouppes dolls and muñecas saludos

[@janetregan2382]

I have never had good results with Oxyclean. Actually ruined many quality clothes as it bleaches out the colors in splotches. And I followed the product use guidelines. I will never use it again.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

It's going in the trash after this!

[@danielledejong710]

She looks so cute in bath. Such a beautiful Blythe.

[@blancasanchez9397]

She’s wonderful she turned out great!

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@Tam.I.am.]

I probably would have finger combed, but I find the activity cathartic. It gives good results, though.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I did quite a bit of finger combing as well on this girl, just didn't get the whole process recorded. She took a combo of different methods.

[@Tam.I.am.]

@@MunecasPoupeesDolls Aww. Lots of work.

[@hannah_banana1324]

Just a quick question, what do you do when a dolls hair becomes sticky? I have tried washing all the product out, but it usually just makes the hair more sticky. It happens with lots of Barbies.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I don't know if there's much you can do, I think it's the actual hair chemically degrading but I'm not really sure.

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Some Barbies have gross adhesive leakage in their hair. Happens a lot with dolls from around 2008-2013. I use Goof Off professional liquid adhesive remover, and it’s worked every time. It smells awful and you need to use gloves, but it really gets all the stickiness out and it’s never ruined the Barbie hair. I’ve even used it on hair with tinsel and it didn’t harm the tinsel at all. Also it doesn’t hurt the paint on their faces.

[@MuffyMay]

I love watching the process... I usually put tape over the holes in the back of the head, and like yourself, am very careful! She's gorgeous! 💚💛🧡

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Great idea!

[@misoluckie]

Hi! I have a question. I’ve just got a petite Blythe from thrift store and she came with some black stain on her light pink hair. Is there any way I could remove the stain?

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I would try some OxyClean like used for laundry that might help

[@misoluckie]

@@MunecasPoupeesDolls I tried bleach , baking soda & vinegar. Nothing works😔

[@MyLadyDisdain]

Allison, try putting the dress in a lingerie bag in the washer with a color catcher sheet. It may pull out that dye🙂

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you for the tip! I am definitely going to try it this weekend 🥰🥰

[@gio_ser5120]

Mmm, i use very little oxy & i dont let it in more than 10’ 😘

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

💜💜

[@katherinemabry4828]

finish the hair please!! lol

[@trlevan316]

May not be a vintage dress, but a knock-off. 🥺

[@ALT-vz3jn]

I would say it’s more than likely a vintage dress precisely because of the color bleed. I’ve washed many vintage doll outfits, and color bleeding is a common issue; they weren’t able to fix bright colors as well as they can today.
