I bought it on Amazon.com<br />I had a tiny spray bottle and just added what I thought would be enough Downy. Because the doll head was so small I sprayed my finger to apply it to the doll hair. That way I knew I wouldn't get it too wet.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913193475671271117.post-16192431079737490442010-09-11T20:27:52.682-07:002010-09-11T20:27:52.682-07:00Thanks for the tip, Catherine - I saw your lovely ...Thanks for the tip, Catherine - I saw your lovely little doll, she helped me make up my mind to try this :)<br />My first attempt is not neat at all,but I'm happy now I know the method, and can improve.

I found Downy Fabric Softener mixed (two table spoons in a spray bottle) with water made all the difference for me. It helped me smooth and kept the fine hairs manageable. I also used a quilling needle to make curls. Which the Downy was very useful for. All were tips I got from Patty.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913193475671271117.post-53883301746430523622010-09-11T19:05:58.991-07:002010-09-11T19:05:58.991-07:00Very impressive!
