Kim, you are a masterful teacher. I have been reborning for three years and have never seen this explained so clearly--I had to learn the hard way! You are just awesome.
+Susan Sumner Thank you Susan! And thank you so much for you wonderful endorsement on the Bountiful Baby forum!! Your dolls are beautiful! I really appreciate you taking the time to share my videos! :)
Kim, thank you so much for all these teachings! It has helped me so much, I recently reborned 2 babies on my own I followed your tutorials and they came out great! Thank you again ;)
You have helped me so much! Thank you for your amazing tutorials. I am almost finished with my first reborn and I couldn’t have done it without your tutorials. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much, Kim, for the excellent video on the various methods for rooting doll hair. I'm a beginner and I really appreciate the overview and then the actual close up demonstrations so I could really see how you were applying the hair.
Having watched so many other videos I thought my choice was stab and grab or one at a time (the one with the longest name hehe!) but root a loop looks great for results without being over the top fiddly for a complete newbie. I have watched a few of your videos now and you are an excellent teacher - you make it look do-able but not so easy that beginners are in for a complete shock and your instructions are easy to follow and clear to see. Subscribed! xxxx
Wow! really love your tutorials. To the point, excellent show of detail, very encouraging and because you articulate it well, I believe I can do it now! Thanks!
+Pam's Life Thanks! You might try getting a practice head and resting your rooting hand on the vinyl as you root. This will get you used to holding the needle at a shallow angle. Once you've got a feel for that, you'll be pointing those hairs in any direction you like! Hope this helps: customdollbaby.com/3/post/2015/12/reborn-with-me-part-15-directional-rooting.html
hi I like the last needle u used .but I never done it before just learning can you tell me the name of the last needle and the gauge.and where to buy it and the hair thank you so much ur videos r awsome u really see things close I love it God Bless.🙏
I'm going to buy my very first doll kit and I don't know if I'm going to buy the tutorial thing because it's expensive but when I searched for free tutorial I saw these.. Thank you
Thank you!! So im wondering how I would go about adding more hair to my reborn? I want to make it thicker, but im not sure if there is a way I should go about it so its even all the way around not not thicker on one side other the other. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this, I just got into doing reborn dolls and the rooting of the hair had me so stressed out because i didnt want to end up ruining a pricey kit that I painted. I feel like the stab and grab or the root a loop can be used for the random hairs around the back of the head but then use the last method for around the face and hair line. I might even try the root a loop around the face and hair line, as it was only really inserting 1 hair at a time.
What type of needle holder do you use ? I think I could root better if I had one like you root with .you do beautiful work .an also a fantastic teacher
Hello, thanks for all your sharing, I have learned a lot. My question is do you think it would be possible to root the hair some way one handed? I have done everything else,but now I got to try to root the hair😲 got any ideas? Thanks.
Thank you so much! I did a micro-rooting on my last reborn with 43g Fork but I'm trying to micro-root with 43g crown, the same way you did on your third rooting style. I use yearling mohair.I've tried ultra soft kid mohair but the hair breaks and I don't know how to do. I think I need more practice. I'm sorry for my bad english, I'm French.
+Brielle jacobs I think so. Silicone is very sticky and very stretchy, so it does a nice job of holding on to rooted hair. It's recommended to use a comb instead of a brush to style hair on a rooted silicone doll so you don't pull out any hair. Good luck! :)
Can you do a video on mouths and tongues? I have a toddler doll with her tongue sticking out and I have no idea how to begin. Thank you. Your videos are awesome.
Hello! First of all I would like to say that you helped me SO much! And second of all may I ask where you got the hair!? Sorry I don’t really know what it’s called 😳
How do you root curly hair in Silicone babies? Where can I buy the curly hair to give my baby a short naturally curly afro look on a newborn african American doll but I can find that type of hair anywhere. Can you help me please?
When Im inserting my needles into my Bountiful tool only the tip fits in. I can't even cut my needles as high up as you have here. How did you cut so far up on the needle?
It looks like they are two different brands of rooting needles. The "ultra fine strong needles" claim to have smaller barbs, but you'd need a microscope to see if that is actually the case. Crown needles have barbs as small as 0.02mm (20 microns), but there's no way to know if the ultra fine are smaller or comparable without trying it. If you'd like to send me some ultra fine needles, I'd be happy to test them thoroughly and write up a detailed product review. :) For your second question, I tend to use a smaller needle on the hairline and a larger needle in the back, depending on the type of hair. I always recommend trying different needles for your rooting project because you'll get different results depending on the type of hair you're using. I'm selling rooting needle sets for a limited time to make it easy to try a variety of gauges without having to spend a lot of money. customdollbaby.com/store/c4/Beginner%27s_Samplers.html
so I bought a realistic baby doll from my local thrift store for $200 and the lady that works there made it so I was so happy to buy it but she glued the hair to the head well its her art and her style I want so badly to give the rooting a try but my questions are does it matter what kind of head its a newborn with cloth body and also do you think I should leave someone elses work alone because either way I will love it the same!? I totally loved the curly hair baby do they sell doll hair at a hair wig store? ps your awesome !!
Hi guys I wonder could you help my little sister has had a reborn for 6 years and she has little to no hair left. It goes everywhere with her gets changed into her PJ's everynight etc I would love to do this for her what is the name of the hair and needle etc if I was looking online.
Hi Kim, where can I get the magnifier you're using?I definitely need something like this :) What's the official name of this magnifier as I've looked through Ebay but don't see something like this were it can stand on a surface. Thanks for any help!!
+Christopher Robins Depends on the kind of tool you have. If you're using a mushroom tool or something with a similar pin vice, you can use a strong pair of wire cutters to snip off the part of the needle that won't fit. This little video may help: th-cam.com/video/wbzgcquZddk/w-d-xo.html
About 4 years ago I bought me self a vinyl reborn that wasn’t the greatest quality and the hair is very uneven with thick chunks and bald spots, It’s also a full body but not weighted, any tips on how to fix the hair or how to make the doll a cloth body and weigh it?
lovetheskinimn no they didn't... I figured it out my needle got dule so I needed to switch it out... that helped because its such a thin needle easier to Dule out....

This has probably been the most helpful rooting video I've seen. Thanks a bunch!
Amen. I am reborning my first baby doll and his poor head looks like the spout of a watering can :(

I think I'm going to aim for the third rooting style it seems to give the best result nice and smooth and it seems to lay in place 🙂
Best tutorial I have seen so far.... THANK YOU! You have basically shown me why my rooting has been not so much what I intended. You are amazing
Kim, thank you so much for all these teachings! It has helped me so much, I recently reborned 2 babies on my own I followed your tutorials and they came out great! Thank you again ;)

THANK YOU! ❤I needed this video so badly
Where can I buy this needle
Great video , Thank you .. I am always unsure of how to direction-ally root the hair , mine always seems to stick straight out .
+Pam's Life Thanks! You might try getting a practice head and resting your rooting hand on the vinyl as you root. This will get you used to holding the needle at a shallow angle.

@@penny220911 she said 36 gauge crown needle
Best tutorial ever! Where did you get that needle holder? Its amazing!

Hello, thanks for all your sharing, I have learned a lot. My question is do you think it would be possible to root the hair some way one handed? I have done everything else,but now I got to try to root the hair😲 got any ideas? Thanks.
This was a lot of help! Thanks!
Thank you! Glad I could help!
This was extremely helpful thank you
Thank you soooo much! What size needle did you use for the last method?
42g crown works well for most types of hair. But you may use a smaller needle (43g - 46g) for fine hair or a larger needle for thicker hair/
Thank you so much! I did a micro-rooting on my last reborn with 43g Fork but I'm trying to micro-root with 43g crown, the same way you did on your third rooting style.

Love your rooting
Thank you for sharing! Can we do this on full body silicone dolls? I bought one with no hair and I wanted to add some hair to it :)
+Brielle jacobs I think so. Silicone is very sticky and very stretchy, so it does a nice job of holding on to rooted hair. It's recommended to use a comb instead of a brush to style hair on a rooted silicone doll so you don't pull out any hair. Good luck! :)
Best tutorial ever
Are those felting needles?? I do felting and have a ton of different gauge needles with barbs. I didbt think the barbed ones would work!
Thanks! Finally I understand , thankyou so much
Such a great video
Thank you!
Can you do a video on mouths and tongues? I have a toddler doll with her tongue sticking out and I have no idea how to begin. Thank you.
Your videos are awesome.
this was so helpful thank you!
Hiya can I not seal the hair from the inside of the baby’s head after rooting? Will the hair fall off more easily? Thanks xx
Hello! First of all I would like to say that you helped me SO much! And second of all may I ask where you got the hair!? Sorry I don’t really know what it’s called 😳
What do you use to draw the dark and white on the head before rooting????
How do you root curly hair in Silicone babies? Where can I buy the curly hair to give my baby a short naturally curly afro look on a newborn african American doll but I can find that type of hair anywhere. Can you help me please?
When Im inserting my needles into my Bountiful tool only the tip fits in. I can't even cut my needles as high up as you have here. How did you cut so far up on the needle?
Where did you get your rooting tool? I like how more of it goes in
what is the difference between the crown and the ultra fine strong needles? Do you use the same needle for the whole head?
It looks like they are two different brands of rooting needles. The "ultra fine strong needles" claim to have smaller barbs, but you'd need a microscope to see if that is actually the case. Crown needles have barbs as small as 0.02mm (20 microns), but there's no way to know if the ultra fine are smaller or comparable without trying it.

I totally loved the curly hair baby do they sell doll hair at a hair wig store? ps your awesome !!
