itsheresomewhere Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Does anyone own this doll? Long story short, Grandma has offered to by her a "real" American girl doll and this is the one she likes. How is Caroline's hair? Does her hair tangle easily? After a few months of play, is her hair still just like new or has Caroline have waves? Thanks in advance.

Whereneverever Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 It tangles easily, but we bought the hair care kit with curlers and curls back up perfectly and beautifully. My dd loves her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Any of the longer haired dolls, especially the ones with curls, will tangle easily. If you only use a wire bristled brush on it, and brush in sections with a misting of water, you'll be fine. You can always keep it in braids if you find it tangles excessively until she's more confident in dolly hair care. Caroline is a beauty!

Caroline is a beauty! :iagree: Any of the longer haired dolls have potential for significant tangling, IF it's not care for properly. Dd is quite messy (crazy artist personality ;) ) in everyday life, but she is very good about keeping her AG dolls' hair in pristine condition. We use the wire brush from AG, but wig brushes from Sally's Beauty Supply are fine, too, and a little mister of water. On another note, but still AG, don't forget the Saige (AG Girl of the Year) movie is on NBC tonight at 8pm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicAnn Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Agree with the other posters. We keep her hair in braids. She's a beautiful doll and DD adores her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saraswati Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 My dd5 has Caroline. Her hair is a bit of a pain - I brush it every few days to keep it pretty. She's not quite old enough to do it on her own yet. It takes quite a bit of time. She has Kit hidden in the closet for her birthday that's coming up. She'll be easier for her to take care of on her own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We have a very old Just Like You w/long hair, Elizabeth, Felicity, Josefina, McKenna, Kanani, and Caroline among all my girls. Caroline has by far the most difficult hair. Josefina's is 2nd. If you keep it in braids, it's good. Otherwise, it needs to be brushed more often because it tangles and frizzes so easily, and you have to do finger curls after brushing to make it look nice. Right out of the box, Caroline won't look as nice as she should. We got her in the store and I asked the lady helping us why her hair didn't look as nice as the displays and she told us that you have to brush and set the finger curls from the beginning. Kanani's hair is fixed the same way, but her curls were perfect out of the box and they don't tangle as easily. She is a beautiful doll and DD loves her. I try to keep her hair in braids because it is easier for me and looks nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a nice old doll from a out of business place that has long hair and it is still nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this tip - I think I'll order the hair care set and give this a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2samlibby Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 We've had Caroline since Dec. and her hair looks the same as when we got her. Beautiful doll! My DD is 11 and plays with her AG dolls just about every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
