How TLSM freshen up the used dolls.

How TLSM freshen up the used dolls.

Start by rinsing in body-warm water.
Use soft soap…
…and fill up with body-warm water.
Let them be in the water for some minutes.
Then use a magic sponge to carefully clean away the dirt,
The left leg is sponged, the other not, yet.
Time to wash the head.
Use any shampoo you prefer!
Be careful not to do anything about the parting in the hair (if it’s correct).
Comb carefully.
Make sure the dirt disappears.
Luckily the shampoo doesn’t heart her eyes.
Rinse.
Then use any conditioner.
Comb in the conditioner to the hair.
Cut off damaged hair.
Let her sit a while with the conditioner working in the hair.
Rinse again.
Dry the doll.
When the body is cleaned and dry, put some baby powder on the rubbery parts and rub it in, to make them not so “sticky”.

If you want to make a Sindy ponytail, this is how I do it:

After the procedure above is done:
Comb the hair and section it.
Use some kind of material to keep the hair in place.
Wrap it around the wet hair and stretch the material so the hair is straight inside it.
Roll it on some hair rolls. I use needles to keep them at place.
When all hair is done let it dry over night.
This doll had very short eye lashes on her left eye.
If you squeeze the eye it’s easier to reach the…
…lashes with a tweezers and very slowly and carefully drag them out a bit.
It will look like this.
Cut off the long hairs so both eyes have the same length of lashes.
Like this.
Remove the rolls.
Comb the hair back and form her pony tail.
