*Acetate and nylon doll hair can withstand rapidly boiling water, while saran should be styled with water that's at only a mild simmer, since saran doll hair is more prone to frizzing.
However, saran doll hair is the most difficult to style. Nylon and acetate doll hair are both very easy to style. The ideal temperature for most fibres is about 170F. At this point, you can do a boil perm if desired |
