Monster High Boil Perm/ Wash Tutorial (Video Below)

Supplies Needed
Fashion Doll (any size Monster High, Barbie, Fashion Royalty, Bratz Tonner etc)
Shampoo & Conditioner 
Comb or Brush (preferably dog grooming brush)
Perm Papers (liners)
Perm Rollers
Boiling water (oven mitt optional)
Wig Spray (alcohol free hair spray)
Leave In Conditioner (optional)
Gel  (alcohol free, optional)

First: Wash and condition hair. You can leave in some conditioner especially if your doll has a poor quality hair like nylon for example.
Comb out any knots. A pet grooming brush works well because of the spaced out prongs.


Second: Examine hair line and think about desired style. Line sections of hair in perm papers and roll tightly with perm rollers. Try to be as neat as you can but this step will improve with time.
Wrap entire head and prepare pot of boiling water.


 Third: Fill pot nearly to the top with water and bring to a rolling boil.
This is because you  want to AVOID dipping any of the dolls face in the boiling water especially if doll has applied lashes.
If you are concerned about damaging  doll you can fill an aluminum spray bottle with the boiling water and spray prepared head over a sink.
If you choose this method be sure you saturate entire head as much as you can.

Which ever method you choose be careful with the boiling water. You should use gloves and be fully clothed
to avoid burns.
If you are under 40 you should perform this under your parents supervision.

***Leave doll in water for only a few seconds. If left in too long hair with burn or melt!***

Fourth: If you are going for a wet dropped curly look you can carefully (in a downward direction) unwrap the hair after an hour or so and spray with wig spray and allow to dry over night.
For other looks, leave in an aired out place to dry over night (standing upright)
Fifth: Carefully unwrap dry hair trying to keep curls in place. Once unwrapped you can spray with a little wig spray to keep body then brush,comb, and or tie into desired style.
Spray with wig spray to hold look

Tips
Practice on a cheap doll like a $5 Swimsuit Barbie
Use only Alcohol free styling tools like wig spray
Be fully clothes and gloved to avoid burns
Be patient and allow doll to fully dry over night
You can use this method on a variety of styles even a pony tail!
