Lea's Hair Care
Hey it's Athena.
Since my American Girl accessories order came in earlier in the week, I thought I would take some time to play with Lea's hair. So here are my thoughts and, more importantly, tips for taking care of and styling the gorgeous tresses of Lea Clark.
Firstly there are 2 must have tools for taking care of Lea's hair.
1: Hair Pick (Such as the Sparkly Hair Pick by American Girl.
Note: You can use your regular doll hairbrush as they have similar wire bristles, but you will have to attempt to much gentler.
2: A spray bottle filled with water or Smoothing Spray by American Girl. A bottle of spray comes included with the Ready to Style Hair Care Kit.
Note: if you don't spray the hair before brushing it out you may find the dolls hair becomes frizzy and hard to style.
Lea's hair looks really daunting, but unlike Rebecca or Lanie's curls, Lea's hair is much more wavy rather than extreme ringlets. So I started simply by spraying down her hair. Use enough to mist over each of her curls, but not so far to soak her hair. Then you're just going to just gently pick through her hair with your hair pick. Gently work through any knots and as you brush through her curls you may notice her hair is straightening out. All you need to do is take a hold of her curls and just lightly finger curl her hair to gain back some of their shape. You will also notice that as her hair dries it will bounce back up and not be as long or as straight but more tossled and wavy.
Hope this helps. Lets check out Lea's beautiful shiny curls.
