- Some dolls have harder heads and will require heat to soften or the tac method. If you do not soften harder heads while rerooting, then you run the risk of breaking needles faster.For the tac method use a thumb tac.Push tac in,prepare plug,remove tac,push in plug.The hole will expand preventing the needles from breaking.After 30 plus minutes the hole will shrink down.
Doll plant hair reroot is extremely easy to use and adjust to your personal rerooting preferences.The adjustable collet allows you to switch out different sized needles or vary the length of the needle to insert hair at the depth that you want.The handle is ergonomically sized for a comfortable grip,which is especially helpful during long rerooting sessions.
If your doll head is relatively hard,you can use electric hot air to soften the head to the hair planting.And don't forget to punch with awl first.
***To avoid snapping needles it's important to keep the needle length relatively short,a longer needle protruding from the tool is more likely to bend or snap.To avoid breaking the eye of the needle don't overload it with hair,a few strands per plug should be adequate - but experience and experimentation is key!If in doubt start with a smaller size,too large a needle may risk tearing the scalp,but smaller needles will hold less hair and can be more prone to breakage***
