To keep the hair on your Maplelea Girl looking its best, we highly recommend the use of a brush with bristles that are made of metal and have rounded ends. (Plastic brushes and combs will snag the hair and may dull the hair over time). This Maplelea Girls brush is especially designed for use with these dolls. The included journal pages give lots of information about how to care for your doll s hair. Since launching our award-winning line of 18" vinyl dolls, outfits and accessories in 2003, the Maplelea brand has become synonymous with quality. The Maplelea Doll Hair Brush has the same exquisite detail and fine craftsmanship as all Maplelea clothing, accessories, furniture and playsets. Maplelea products are carefully designed to fit comparable 18" dolls including American Girl, Our Generation, and Journey Girls. The dolls and accessories are recommended for children ages 6 and up, and exceed the safety standards required by the US and Canada.
