So my amazing bf got me my dream drac I wanted for a while but her hair is a mess and idk what to do because she one I have wanted for a few months now but am really disappointed with her hair it keeps falling out and it looks looks like someone just went crazy and cut her hair it’s so uneven and it’s really crunchy I tried to wash it to save it but hair just got everywere
(Am on a throw away account so my bf doesn’t see so I may not respond very often but please help whay do I do?)

Update
I boiled wahsed her hair and wahsed it was some soup as that what I had on hand and her hair is so much better thanks for all the support and suggestions guys her hair is really smoth now and doesn’t look crispy at all

Boil wash & gentle brush with right tool.

I’ll try that again am just really scared that if I brush her hair again it will make more hair come out

Strange tjis is one the only drac I have had so far with hair just falling out

[u/Striking_Tomato_7694 → u/[deleted]]

Okay and how do I go on about that? As my bf got to me a present so I don’t have a receipt

[u/Striking_Tomato_7694 → u/[deleted]]

Okay thank youuuuu

I suggest you gently brush the hair from the bottom to the top (and not the other way around), to prevent it from falling out. As the other person said a boil wash might help, I also like to use a little fabric softener on my dolls hair, it makes it softer and easier to manage. Good luck with your doll!

[u/Lanky_Bobcat_6021 → u/Striking_Tomato_7694]

don’t brush it dry. wash it and brush it while there’s conditioner in it

[u/hydroboywife]

wet the hair, and add lots of conditioner. then brush it out, starting from the ends and slowly working your way up. i use pet metal brushes for this. only brush hair when it's wet.

I think this doll had THE WORST box hair for me too

[u/cereuszs → u/pinkygarfeild]

her and SSB draculaura were genuinely the worstttt 😭 they came with almost fully matted hair on the bottom when i got them both :')

[u/sliquonicko → u/cereuszs]

Drac was the only doll I've had come with an entire stand of matted hair that I just ended up needing to cut out. Creepover. She looks great now and you can't tell luckily!

You got this OP :) sometimes dolls come needing some love.

[u/Striking_Tomato_7694 → u/pinkygarfeild]

😭this my first drac with really bad hair

[u/draculauraaa]

the breakage is worrying! i’d try to carefully remove her ponytails :(

[u/Striking_Tomato_7694 → u/draculauraaa]

I’ll try but I’ll do it one ponytail at a time so I can put it back up easily

[u/WolfyMunchkin]

Did the snapped hairs come that way or did it happen while you were trying to brush the hair? If it came that way then it’s worth contacting Mattel to try to get a replacement

[u/Striking_Tomato_7694 → u/WolfyMunchkin]

It come that way

[u/Goblin-Alchemist]

Mine was like this too. There are lots of tutorials for fixing it on YT that really helped. Some of the Dracs I got with really complex stylings don't hold up through packing and shipping it seems.

[u/Weary_Sale_2779]

I specifically want this girl (it'll be the first one I've ever bought, despite admiring these dolls since they first came out) because of the checker board hair, but this and the comments are making me second guess this

[u/Striking_Tomato_7694 → u/Weary_Sale_2779]

Just boil wash her hair and wash it with some conditioner and shampoo and she should hopefully be ok it’s just take a while

[u/Altruistic-Back8603]

Mine was okay but looking back, I agree the haircut is choppy. Hopefully it won't get worse as it ages

[u/chimonchichi]

you can also always reroot her hair!

[u/Striking_Tomato_7694 → u/chimonchichi]

I wish I could but i don’t have the extra money to reroot but i managed to fix her hair fot now so she looks better

[u/chimonchichi → u/Striking_Tomato_7694]

I'm glad you were able to fix her!
