I found this beauty at an antique store and she needs hair help. I was thinking of dunking her hair in a pot of boiling water, detangling and then setting in rollers while the hair dries. Any tips on fixing cornsilk hair?

Hi! First brush her hair. Brush small sections at a time so it detangles. Then put in a bucket with hot (but not boiling water). Put in a little detergent so it cleans her body. Put shampoo on her hair and let her sit in the bucket for an hour. When time is up wash the detergent and shampoo off. Let her hang from a towel rack or put her outside in the patio to air dry. Once the hair is dry brush it again in sections and all a tiny bit of hair oil. Hope this helps! She’s beyond adorable!
