Hair care for sex dolls is often surrounded by myths that can lead to overzealous or misguided routines. The first myth to debunk is that frequent washing is always necessary. Overwashing can strip natural oils from the hair and scalp, causing dryness and brittleness. A gentle routine works best: wash only when visibly dirty, and use a mild, sulfactant-light shampoo or a product designed for synthetic or blended hair, following with a conditioner to maintain softness.
Another common myth is that brushing from root to tip is always ideal. On synthetic hair, comb from tips upward using a wide-tooth brush to minimize breakage. Be mindful of tangles; if you encounter a knot, work it out slowly with a detangling spray rather than yanking through. Heat tools are often unnecessary. High heat can damage synthetic fibers, causing frizz or melting. If you must style, use a low heat setting or heat-free methods like clip-on styles or wigs designed for the doll’s hair type.
Protection and storage deserve equal attention. Hair should be dry before storage to prevent mildew or odors. Store the doll with hair gently laid or secured to avoid flattening or frizz. UV exposure can fade color and weaken fibers, so keep dolls away from direct sunlight. Finally, it’s a myth that all hair damage is permanent. With careful handling, conditioning, and appropriate storage, you can restore softness and maintain a natural look that stands up to handling and movement.
