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

honey, what´s the size of this crochet needle? :)

[mylittlecustoms]

1.00 mm :)

[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 :)

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

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.

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?
