Doreen here, as Zuri mentioned the Nicki (renamed Zoe) that we got for her had some serious frizzy ends. I was frustrated that the seller didn't disclose how bad the hair was, as well as more details about some marks that she had. At first I thought maybe we needed to re-wig her, but I decided that even if we did, trying to help her hair with other methods first wouldn't hurt. I have flat ironed doll hair before with Zuri's Felicity. It worked wonders to smooth and kill the dead ends (especially with a slight trimming), but all curl was lost! Nicki was made with such pretty curls that I didn't want to just flatten out her hair.
I decided this time to try Zuri's ceramic brush. It's not this one, but this is a close model. I set the temperature at 170 to start, but that wasn't hot enough. I raised it to 190, and finally the sweet spot was 210. It took the friz with multiple passes, without destroying the curl. I then immediately took a pencil and rolled the small section of warm hair around the pencil and used a bobby pin to hold it into place. After about an hour we removed the pins and finger placed the curls. They are adorable, and it revitalized her hair significantly.
My #58 is finally arriving Saturday if there are no other postal delays. I think her hair will need some TLC, but hopefully it won't need heat, just re-finger styling. I will post updates when she finally arrives.
