Washing Grace's Curly Hair

Grace curly hair

Step-by-Step Wash Routine

Grace's natural curls thrive with gentle, moisture-rich washing. Always detangle before wetting to prevent knots from tightening.

  1. 1Gently finger-detangle or use the wide-tooth comb from ends to roots before wetting the hair.
  2. 2Wet hair thoroughly with lukewarm — never hot — water.
  3. 3Work a small amount of sulphate-free shampoo through with your fingers. No scrubbing — gentle is key.
  4. 4Rinse well. Apply conditioner generously, leave for 2–3 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
  5. 5Gently squeeze — never wring — to remove excess water. Blot with a soft towel.
  6. 6While damp, use the wide-tooth comb to re-define curls, then allow to air dry completely.
💡

Pro tip: After rinsing, gently scrunch Grace's hair upward with your palm to encourage her natural curl pattern to spring back beautifully.

Brushing & Detangling

🪮

Use the Right Tool

Always use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers on Grace's curly hair. Fine-tooth brushes will disrupt the curl pattern and create frizz. Use the included pick comb for daily maintenance.

⬇️

Ends to Roots Only

Always detangle from the ends working upward toward the roots — never from root to tip. This prevents breakage and keeps Grace's curl pattern intact.

💧

Dampen Before Combing

Grace's curls detangle much more easily when damp. Spritz with water or leave-in conditioner spray before working through any tangles — never comb completely dry hair.

⚠️

Important: Never brush Grace's hair when completely dry. This disrupts her curl pattern and causes irreversible frizz. Always dampen first.

Styling Grace's Curls

Styles that Shine

Grace's curly hair holds beautiful styles. Here are her best looks:

  • Wash & Go: Let her natural curls air dry loose — effortlessly stunning.
  • Curly puff: Gather curls into a high ponytail for a bold, bouncy look.
  • Twist-out: Two-strand twist while damp, allow to dry, then unravel for stretched, defined curls.
  • Braid-out: Braid while damp, leave overnight, unravel for beautiful wavy texture.
  • Straightened: Use a flat iron on a low-to-medium setting to gently straighten sections for a sleek look. Apply heat protectant first.
  • Blow-dry & diffuse: Use a diffuser on low heat to dry curls while preserving their shape.
  • Protective braids: Two plaits or cornrows keep hair neat and protected between wash days.
🔥

Heat styling: Because Grace's hair is 100% real human hair, heat tools can be used! Always apply a heat protectant spray first and use the lowest effective heat setting. Avoid repeatedly applying heat to the same section.

✂️

Please note: Do not cut Grace's hair. Her hair is real human hair and cannot be regrown or replaced once cut.

Brushing & Detangling

🪮

Paddle Brush

Nana's straight hair works beautifully with the included paddle brush. Use smooth, downward strokes for a sleek, frizz-free finish every time.

⬇️

Ends to Roots

Start at the ends and work section by section up to the roots. Straight hair can knot near the roots so take care when you reach the top.

Brush Daily

Unlike curly hair, Nana's straight hair benefits from gentle daily brushing. Even a quick 30-second brush-out before bed keeps it smooth and prevents tangles building up.

Washing Jazzie's Natural Afro Hair

Jazzie afro hair

Step-by-Step Wash Routine

Jazzie's gorgeous afro puff is natural textured hair that loves moisture and gentle handling. The key is keeping it hydrated and never disrupting the curl pattern with harsh brushing.

  1. 1Divide hair into 2–4 sections. Gently finger-detangle each section before any water touches the hair.
  2. 2Wet hair thoroughly with lukewarm water, section by section.
  3. 3Apply a moisturising sulphate-free shampoo. Use fingers only — gently work from scalp outward without scrubbing.
  4. 4Rinse well. Apply a rich creamy conditioner throughout. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle gently while the conditioner is in.
  5. 5Leave conditioner in for 3–5 minutes, then rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle.
  6. 6Blot dry with a microfibre towel. Apply leave-in conditioner and scrunch upward to encourage the afro shape.
💡

Pro tip: A light spritz of water mixed with leave-in conditioner is the perfect daily refresh for Jazzie between washes — keeps her curls bouncy and defined.

Caring for Natural Textured Hair

🖐️

Fingers First

For Jazzie's tight curl pattern, your fingers are the best detangling tool. Gently separate curls with your fingertips before using a wide-tooth comb. Never use a fine-tooth brush.

💧

Moisture is Everything

Natural textured hair needs moisture to stay healthy and defined. Spritz with water and leave-in conditioner whenever the hair feels dry or is difficult to work through.

🌿

Work in Sections

Always work in small sections when detangling. Divide into 4 parts and fully detangle each one before moving on — this prevents breakage and preserves her curl pattern.

⚠️

Important: Never use a regular brush on Jazzie's dry hair. This will disrupt her natural curl pattern, cause frizz, and can damage the hair permanently. Always use fingers or a wide-tooth comb on damp, moisturised hair only.

Celebrate Her Natural Beauty

Jazzie's afro is a celebration of natural hair at its most beautiful. Here are styles that look amazing and keep her hair healthy:

  • The Puff: Jazzie's signature — gather all her hair upward and secure loosely at the crown. Add a headband for extra flair.
  • Two puffs: Divide into two sections and secure each as a small puff on either side — adorable!
  • Twist-out: Two-strand twist sections while damp. Allow to dry completely, then unravel for defined, stretched coils.
  • Bantu knots: Section and twist into small knots. Unravel after drying for a gorgeous spiral curl pattern.
  • Blow-out: Use a blow-dryer with a comb attachment on low-to-medium heat to gently stretch and volumise the afro for a big, fluffy look.
  • Straightened: Use a flat iron on a low setting to straighten sections. Apply heat protectant first — and watch the transformation!
  • Free the fro: No styling needed — Jazzie's natural afro is absolutely stunning all on its own.
🔥

Heat styling: Jazzie's hair is 100% real human hair, so heat tools work on it! Always apply a heat protectant spray before using any heated tool and use the lowest effective heat setting. For best results on natural textured hair, detangle and stretch the hair first before applying heat.

Hair Care Essentials

Everything needed to keep your Gracie Doll's hair looking its very best.

🔥

Heat Protectant Spray

Essential before using any heat tool. A light heat protectant spray shields the hair from damage and keeps it looking healthy and shiny.

All Dolls
🪮

Wide-Tooth Comb

Included with every doll. Essential for detangling curly and textured hair gently without disrupting the curl pattern.

GraceJazzie
💆

Paddle Brush

Included with Nana. Ideal for smoothing and daily brushing of straight hair to a silky, frizz-free finish.

Nana
🧴

Sulphate-Free Shampoo

Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo for all three dolls. Harsh sulphates strip moisture and damage real hair over time.

All Dolls

Leave-In Conditioner

A light leave-in conditioner spray is especially useful for Grace and Jazzie between washes to maintain moisture and softness.

GraceJazzie
🎀

Soft Scrunchies & Ties

Use soft fabric scrunchies or covered elastics — never thin rubber bands, which can snag and break the hair.

All Dolls
💧

Spray Bottle (Water)

A small spray bottle of water is perfect for re-moisturising hair before detangling or refreshing a style between washes.

🛁

Creamy Conditioner

Use after every shampoo. A rich, creamy conditioner is especially important for Jazzie's natural textured hair.

🌿

Argan or Coconut Oil

A tiny drop of lightweight oil adds shine to Nana's straight hair, or seals in moisture for Grace and Jazzie's curls.
