[sarahmash101065]

i got baby alive for my grandaughter for xmas from e bay. im so dissapointed, all her hair is really thin and missing in places. i cant give this doll. her head is fixed and cant be removed cos of machanical devices to mahe lips and eyes move, so i will have to work from outside.. could i use a curved upholstry needle?

I think it's a great video, very knowledgeable, but you said when you are done to tie the last 2 together, I'm confused! Thanks for sharing the video

[sugarkaneandchloe]

Thanks Robin :) I have been using the knot method for years and I have always wanted to do it this way but I didn't really understand ,much easier now I have seen it.......it looks so professional...thanks again:) jen

[Destinyl0l]

awesome would this work on a bratz or moxie doll head??? 0.O

Wonderful video for re-rooting however, I don't know how to end it. I need to see that done next ; )

[jadeishere101]

Will this work on a monster high doll?

[hellokitty1977]

I hadn't thought of this method before.  I usually do the knot method. Just ordered some hair recently and will try this on my next custom.

[BratzyLuver1986]

Thanks for this tutorial! I've been dying to re-root a BRATZ. Will this technique work on BRATZ? And where in-stores could I get hair for the re-root and will hair extensions for humans work?

[glambicious2]

thanks for this video it really helps other reroot tutorials were not explained very well

[vwcub79]

This video was a HUGE help to me as I am just starting out on this new venture!! Thank you so much you are the best!!!!

[sailorvenuss]

will this work for bratz dolls hair? it seems like it would be to difficult to do since they have small neck holes.

[Bootlegization]

Does rerooting ever damage a doll hair?

It seem a bit harsh to force the big metal tool into those tiny holes. I may like to try this someday yet am worry about damaging.

[TheFerret78]

Thank you for posting this tutorial. I always used the not method for rerooting a doll head but I so LOVE this method better and will use it next time I root a head.

[xoxoscarlet]

OMG im glad i chanced upon this, been wanting to reroot my blythe for the longest time, thank you!!

[herpestina]

That's very-very helpful, thank you so much!

Is there a safe way to make new hair plugs in your dolls head. Some of my Dolls don't seem to have many so you always see their head. Their hair never seem to cover their bald spots. Love the video it's very helpful.

[mylittlecustoms]

What doll do you have? If it is a soft vinyl head then making extra plug holes is as easy as poking a needle through :)

I will often give my dolls extra hair plugs to cover any bald spots - glad the video is helping! ^_^ x

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have done this technique on dolls with the crochet needle. I never thought of doing what you did with the darning needle and some dental floss. Brilliant!

I was dreading the knot method for an upcoming project... sooo ... sloooow.

[mernie20]

Thank you so much Robin, for your great tutorial, your an angel.

[Silksilver]

[mylittlecustoms]

1.00 mm :)

[14mileysmiley]

do you now how to curl barbie hair how you take the head off

[CathexisAurore]

I've been using a variation of this method myself for years, but I'm probably going to revise my method to match yours. Thanks for posting this!

[BratzMovieMaker928]

This is such a great tutorial! Thanks for posting it! But for Bratz, which do you think will work for making the hair silky and smooth?

[freacls]

i think the Bratz dolls hair roots are the same as Sindy but i dont need to do thise i never cut my Sindys hair i just wash her hair in conditionor that keeps it soft

[fashionluva101]

how do you secure the hair on the very last loop? do you tie the last two together or glue the last hairplug down?

[mylittlecustoms]

I do both! I tie the last two together and then add a tiny dab of glue just to be safe :)

[mylittlecustoms]

Hiya :)

Any of the methods used in the 3 videos should be fine to use on a Bratz doll, you can use any hair you wish really! The Nylon, Polypropylene or Saran that I stock are the best types of doll hair you can buy so it is personal preference which you choose to use!

I hope that helps :)

[paady]
