boil perm

basic instruction for dolly boil perm.

Same as most of the customization, a lot of patience is needed in this process.

Things to prepare :
- aluminum foil sheets, approximate 5cm x 6cm or human boil perm rollers
- pot of boiling water

tips : smaller rolls, smaller curls; larger rolls, larger curls. =)


1. Wrap the hair as shown in picture.
2. Roll up the hair as shown in picture. Fold the two ends of the foil together to stable the roll.
3. When all hair is done, boil a pot of water. Once the big bubbles come up, turn off the stove and put the doll’s head (up to hair line) into the water. Make sure all the hair are dipped in. Leave the hair in the water for 1 minute for non-permanent and 2-3 minutes for permanent curls.
Caution: Hot steam may cause eyelashes fall off.
4. Leave the doll in open air and let the hair air dry for at least 5 days. (mine took a week to dry thoroughly.)
Caution: Don’t use hair dryer on your doll. It will melt her hair.

5. When the hair is dry, remove the foils.Finished!6. Create your own style!
Important: Trim off the frizzy ends.
Petites:
The same practice can be used on Petites. As it should take shorter time for Petite’s hair to dry.
