My Aeran had an "accident" while we were on our trip. Because it was so windy everywhere, everyone's wigs often got very messy. Every once in awhile I'd have to "reset" their wigs. I'd take the wigs off, put a clear plastic bag over the doll's head, put the wig back on, then spray with hair spray and let it dry somewhat before taking off the bag.
Well, one morning Aeran's wig had been freshly washed the night before, so it was all soft and fluffy. When I went outside to take a few scenery shots it was very windy - not good for a soft Tibetan lambskin wig! I was in a hurry and just put a paper towel around Aeran's neck and folded another to cover face - then sprayed the hair spray. I had to hold her as we drove to our first photo location, but when we got out of the vehicle I was shocked to see white spots all over the side of Aeran's head. I felt devastated! The spots were permanent. I had ruined my doll! I almost felt like quitting with the photography, but I was lucky, the paper towel over Aeran's face had limited the white spots to the side of her face and neck where I could cover them with her hair. I loved my Aeran the way she was, and now she's going to need a brand new faceup and body blush.

It's embarrassing to admit I did this to my own doll, but I figured I'd better post a warning to anyone else contemplating using hair spray on their doll while they have the wig on. I don't know about MSC, but hair spray and Testor's dull cote definitely react with each other. Be warned!
