i’m always scared when restoring an AG doll like there’s so much to look out for to not ruin them 😭 i think your kailey turned out so cute and pretty!! 🫶🏽
Oooh I’m such a sucker for doll restoration videos 😍. AG dolls are honestly indestructible which makes them all so fun to restore because like you said you can make them look so much nicer! You did a great job with Kailey!
I always use a magic eraser to clean limbs, it’s easier than using soap and a toothbrush. Then I do a pass with rubbing alcohol to sanitize her (not on the face). After that they’re clean and the vinyl so soft. I always let them dry outside in the shade.
You should be so proud! You did a great job with her. She’s gorgeous. Your video has me thinking about getting a Kailey of my own. You convinced me to get Lindsey with the one you posted like years ago haha.
I had just bought Josefina off Ebay for 24.00. Her hair was so frizzy & knotted I couldn't believe it. This method of boiling water and dipping the hair in really takes care of the problem. Her hair is now soft and smooth & looks like a new doll. I had also washed her hair in baby shampoo and used a conditioner. It does work!
My childhood Molly doll could use some fixing up lol 🤣 I used to wonder why almost all of the dolls my mom bought me had short hair until I recently saw my Molly doll and what a rats nest her hair became 😭😭 I was even considering sending her to the doll hospital but now I might be able to fix her up at home!
What type of toothbrush do you use for cleaning AG dolls? I found an extra medium toothbrush i want to try using a toothbrush. I use magic erasers to clean my dolls
I've been getting my dolls out of storage and been doing videos on my channel and I'll be doing more videos of me restoring them from destaining them and deep cleaning them along with sending Gabriella to Doll hospital her head got squished sunk in on one side. I've debated on fixing her myself by pouring boiling hot water into her head or blow dryer to heat up the Vinyl to pop out the squished Caved in spot on her head and then get a new zip tie
@@xCanadensis no I didn’t soak the cap at all. The hair in the back is now like less than an inch long and looks like it just broke off or something. It wasn’t like that before I dipped it
Are you sure? AG wigs have rows of very short hair all over the wig cap in order to disguise the color of the cap (or something?). Perhaps the hair got very parted and out of place when you set it after washing? Was there a lot of hair in your bowl/sink?
@@xCanadensis there was actually none in the bowl that’s what was confusing but now you can basically see all the rows and there’s like very little hair in the back that’s long, it definitely wasn’t like that before so I’m not really sure
I forgot the bug pic… you can see it in this video (also the haul video of getting Kailey)-

As long as you avoid wetting the eyes it’s fine.

I learned to French braid this year for doll hair! Probably one of my proudest accomplishments
She looks great, you are inspiring me to pull my AGs out of storage and give them some love

Love the AG attention lately ! ❤ more please ! Lol😊
Thank you. This was very helpful. She turned out great!
She turned out perfect, great job!!
Also, not sure if you already saw, but there's a pretty complete Marisol on Mercari for a great deal right now 👀
You should be so proud! You did a great job with her. She’s gorgeous. Your video has me thinking about getting a Kailey of my own. You convinced me to get Lindsey with the one you posted like years ago haha.

Hai eseguito un restauro perfetto: ora la bambola e' semplicemente adorabile.
You made a perfect restoring: now the doll is simply lovable.
👏😘😍
I needa get one of those american girl metal brushes sometime, yours looks like its clinging onto life but is also clearly very well made
I have found wig brushes work better, and last longer.
I wish we had an American girl shop in Northern Ireland. I would love it
She's pretty
She looks amazing!! I cant wait to see more AG stuff feom you?!
If you do a braid but do it in reverse like do it under instead of over it’ll be a lot flatter and not round
What type of toothbrush do you use for cleaning AG dolls? I found an extra medium toothbrush i want to try using a toothbrush. I use magic erasers to clean my dolls
In 2003 I was 8 I'll be 28 in January I don't remember hearing about her but she is cute

Hi Dolls 👋 I really need some more AG dolls 😉
I have that exact fan lol
❤❤
I have an American girl dolls question. It's how easy is it to remove things like colored pencil and nail polish?
Magic eraser (NOT ON THE FACE) can take away colored pencil marks. Nail polish is weird… either chip off, use baking soda or polish remover
I have a OG felicity and Elizabeth that as a child I was not very kind to. So thanks for the help.
Use non-acetone polish remover.
@@renee4053 thanks. That is a big help. They have had faces like this for a while.
I did the boil and now the back of my dolls hair is basically gone? What went wrong?
O_o what?? Did you soak the wig cap? Where’s the hair?
The wig can come off if you saturate the wig cap since it’s just glued to the head
@@xCanadensis no I didn’t soak the cap at all. The hair in the back is now like less than an inch long and looks like it just broke off or something. It wasn’t like that before I dipped it

@@xCanadensis I messaged you on Instagram just now so I could send you a pic and see what your thoughts were
Do you have a camera or do you feel with your phone?
Phone
american girl just like me
I can fix her just like I will fix you
