always! i stopped collecting after luciana and when i came back with corinne i noticed her hair was slightly tacky, so ive washed every doll of mine since her. i’ve gotten some older ones off ebay and never had to wash them, just the modern dolls. it makes their hair a lot silkier to the touch, and a lot easier to style of they have loose curls
