Taming wild hair ?
The only problem is, the hair is quite curly and I dont know what I can do about it:
Is it possible to straighten? Brushing doesnt seem to help.

Is she wearing a wig, or is her hair stitched in? If she is wearing a wig, there are lots of websites that sells wigs.

Not sure how it would work - all the heads I have, the hair is all molded in place, I cant see how it can be taken off.

Here's a doll wig seller on eBay.

I know, this is normally never recommended.
I always wash the hair of my minis the first time.
While i did it with Lisa and Klara i found out that it worked.
Also i cut the edges a bit. Yes, being a mini-coiffeur can be fun
And they were thankful about it
You have to be very careful though.
Hold together the head tightly while combing.
Works best with head 'unmounted'.
Then let the hair dry. It will already be a bit better after the first time.
But then when you dry-comb the hair, the curls may come back but not that heavy.

Well, the smell doesn't last long, but it is nice.

Another option is a ponytail.
I use colourful ribbon in a three knot ponytail.
Thanks,

Don't use a brush or comb it will just make more of a mess.
One of my silkstone barbies has very curly hair. I have washed it and it came back with a lot primping and fussing with just my fingers.
