Any tips on caring for my daughters' toys' hair?

My daughters are 4 and 6 and love anything girly. So they have LOADS of Barbies, My Little Pony and Disney Little Princess Collection.

The problem I am having is with the hair of these toys. I hate it when it gets that matted, tangled look, but have a very hard time getting the hair to comb our without ripping the doll half bald. It seems that the ponies and princess dolls have the same type of hair and it's the worst about getting matted, while Barbie's is a bit softer and doesn't get as destroyed but still has issues.

Any tips for getting the tangles out and making the hair more manageable would be greatly appreciated!

The first thing is you actually have to brush the hair on a regular basis, or it will get tangled. With Barbies, I found that keeping the hair in a braid, or a pony tail helped keep it from tangling as bad as it would if you just let it fly all over the place. The other thing that can help is washing the hair occassionally, use baby shampoo and lukewarm water (not hot) and use just a tiny amount of the shampoo, make sure you rinse it well, and then lay the toy on a towel with the hair as flat as possible to dry. Don't try to blow dry or towel dry the hair. When it's dry, use a comb or brush to brush the hair.

If you are just dealing with a tangly mess, use Johnsons No More Tangles formula, it's safe to use on toys, will help get the tangles out, it's tear free (for the kids), and after you use it, just rinse the hair slightly so it doesn't leave a film on the toys hair.

I dunno...... you could try getting your daughters to brush it more? I used to let my dolls' hair get matted, of course their hair was horrible when they went out on dates with Ken.
