Can you wash an American Girl doll's hair? Yes, but make sure you cover the doll's face and body with plastic so she doesn't get wet. Make sure the hair is down, take out any clips or hair ties, and undo any braids or twists. Hold the doll's hair under a faucet and use a mild shampoo to wash it.
Cover the doll's hair in fabric softener.
If any portion of the hair is not covered by the liquid, use your ladle or cup to pour additional fabric softener onto the hair so every strand is thoroughly coated.Our Dolls
- Divide doll's hair into small sections and gently brush them one at a time.

Therefore, since American girl needs to pay all these people they need the money, and so they get their money from the sale of the dolls, and they also need to make some money themselves.
