<p>[QUOTE="Christmasjoy, post: 382840, member: 164"]Removing an old wig. If the doll has a ruined ORIGINAL wig that needs to be replaced it CAN be removed. Get together a small bowl, 6 tablespoons of white vinegar and and 6 tbsps of warm water and mix them together. Using Q-tips dip them in the mixture and begin to apply it to the wig between wig and head work your way around any way you wish, peeling it back slowly bit by bit .. I start at the front but you can apply anywher you wish, The old glue will soften and you can start to ease it off bit by bit, clean the rest of the head with the mixture. When you are applying a new wig USE ELMERS WATER SOLUBLE WASHABLE GLUE, it is easy to replace using the above method. If the wig has been glued on with more modern glue you will probably never get it off .. Style it the best you can or use ribbon or a bonnet and leave it as is ... Joy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
