- A skill I have wanted to learn for ages is how to re-root doll hair. After an afternoons training from Jolly Dolly Shop I thought it was time I had a go at the process from start to finish. Check out how I got on.

A pair of forceps will make the inside scraping go much faster and be easier on the fingers. There are several rooting techniques that can be useful in different situations. You did great with this method!
You can create a part by thatching hair from one side over to the other. That will cover up the bare space and give a nice natural looking part line. You can also help the hair to lay down closer to the head by pouring some boiling water over it and letting it dry.
This looks like fun!
This definitely looks like a tedious process but I can see how it could be relaxing and therapeutic once you get a rhythm. Bless you Dave for having the patience to learn the process and give the rest of us some much needed hints to make things go more smoothly. I can’t wait to see you finish this project. She will make an amazing addition to the crew. Thank you as always. Your videos have meant so much to me over the last two years. I have learned a lot and you have helped me find a much appreciated escape from the wild ride that is the world around us these days. Cheers my friend.
Extremely well done for a first re-rooting job! I might recommend looking for a doll that has more ruined hair next time, though, since that factory hair looks to have actually been salvageable.
First time I've seen this done,so cool now wife has plans for me and her bald one
Might try this technique on my own head.
I was juuuust talking to my girlfriend about this! We got 2 16 inch Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus dolls that have hair that is disintegrating, and a my little pony that had a buzz cut by the original owner. I know it wasn’t simple to reroot, but you sure made it look like it’s something that could be done by anyone if they just try.
Great video Brother. I always wonder how to do that. My Vintage 12" Star wars Princess Leia could benefit from a new hair doo. Thanks always for sharing Your Adventures 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇬🇧🇨🇦🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯
Great to see Sindy getting a bit of TLC. My cousins both used to have Sindy dolls as well as Sindy's playhouse. My Action men used to great fun performing rescue ops there. Great memories. You did a great job btw Dave!
If you dip the head into hot water first it loosens the glue to make it easier too remove… that was the long way to re root, just cut small strands and poke in with a re rooting tool not a needle then put glue in the head to hold it in place and smoosh around
just laughing at a memory you brought back to me, my action men used to rescue my sisters cindy doll from kidnappers and other precarious situations. great video, and a very good job on the hair !
Interesting 👍
It's I skill I should learn really, I have a vintage Princess Leia that needs new hair and a She-Ra and Galoob Golden Girl too.
Think this turned out great only advice I would give is use a leather sewing awl to make things easier. Instead of having to thread the needle you just punch in then loop the thread or in your case hair over the hook on the needle then pull it through. Great fix.
Love how you used the same computer sound effect from the TV pilot movie of "The Six Million Dollar Man".
I was soo excited to see you learn this I have been doing Restoration and makeovers of fashion dolls since the early 1990s and it is a tedious but so rewarding process for those in the USA and in England if you have beauty supply shops that carry hair extension packs check for Saran wefts a medium length package may do up to 3 dolls and you have such a wide range of colors too! Needles for leather sewing here come in large packs of 15 assorted as well if you find you need different sizes for comfort or larger projects.!! You did amazing and thank you for sharing the process!!
I'm glad to see you branching out into doll stuff. Your Sindy doll has a bountiful head of hair now, and she looks much better. I personally prefer the lock-and-loop method of hair rerooting, I find it a bit easier to do, and I like how it duplicates the chain stitch appearance of factory rooting inside the doll head. Not only is this ideal from a restoration standpoint, I'm putting the doll back the way it was originally, but it eliminates the bulk of hair inside the head that can at times distort the contours of the head. The knot method is a good choice too, and I've used a tiny crochet hook instead of a needle to pull the hairs through, and it works really well once you get the hang of it. My least favorite method is the 'poke' method, which is quite popular because it's one of the fastest methods. Basically you just poke a loop of hair into the hole from the outside, so that a small loop is inside the head. Then you put glue inside the head to keep the hair from pulling out. I just don't like the addition of any kind of glue in rerooting, because glue tends to change over time in unpredictable ways, and it's pretty much always for the worse.
Your patience is remarkable sir. I don't think I would find this relaxing at all. But what an amazing result. Very impressed.
Love you vids…. I’ve rerooted many dolls and as much as I love the result I hate doing it I use the reroot tool method by punching the hair in, much faster lol many a Jem doll has thanked me for it…. Well done
