You could heat the vinyl scalp and keep it heated throughout the rerooting process to keep the vinyl softer and more flexible, which might save wear and tear on your hands. Also, I would suggest getting a thimble. I had a Tuesday Taylor as a kid and the hair went really frizzy. I felt the scalp rotating gimmick didn't quite work, but it was still interesting.
Thank you ❤️ I did try that but found that the scalp would harden again before I got the plug completely through. It was taking too long and I was getting really sweaty 😂 Thank you! A thimble is a fantastic idea! ❤️ It is unfortunate that the hair goes frizzy. The hair I rerooted her with is a little bit frizzy too but not too bad.
I’m a vintage Barbie collector, and never realized how cute Tuesday is! I think I need one now. You did an amazing job! She’s stunning with the red hair!
My job is complete 😂 She really is a gorgeous doll and I think a lot of people don't realise that because her hair is often messy in photos people post. I can see why people don't realise how pretty she is (or can be). Thank you so much ❤️🥰 I have so many outfit ideas for her and can't wait to make them 😊
@@DeanReen Dean! I’ve been looking for a Tuesday doll, and the original hair color just isn’t as cute as your reroot and own current auburn locks. 😂 If I remember correctly, I have an old TLC Crissy doll stashed somewhere; I may have to dig her out and steal her hair to attempt my own reroot. I’ve been thinking on it for days! 😭
I also love the dress you made! If I don’t get a Tuesday sometime soon, I may just order the dress anyway and admire it until I do. 😂 You’ve ruined me.
@@steven_ryan Aww! I am both honoured and sad about that 🥰😔 I wish you luck should you attempt the reroot. It is hard work but well worth it IMO. Oh no! That sounds awful! I am so sorry! 😭
As a vintage Barbie collector, I got a Tuesday in a vinyl house full of dolls... I am in love with her. I have boughten several more. Thanks for the video, I had no idea how to get her scalp off. I got one at the doll shop in the "free" box, because he hair was cut all up. I am going to try to re-root her... but I don't think I have your patiences! I am going to use a re-root tool and new saran hair. But the video was great! FYI, you can fix frizzy hair with some fabric softener, Aveda mens conditioner and boiling water... it takes days of work and letting her set with her head packed with fabric softener and conditioner, but the end result looks like a new doll.
The whipping hair edit is super funny! 😂 this doll is super cute
Hahaha, thank you ❤️😊
FINALLY 😅A Reroot tutorial for rerooting 90’s Barbies 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Excellent ! the hair of this Barbie is beautiful 👍🏼
Thank you so much ❤️🥰
INCREDIBLE JOB BRO!!!!!!!!!! that reroot AND you made the fashion too? WOW!!!! IT IS SO GORGEOUS AND FLAWLESS!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow 🤩 you’ve both have same hair color
She turned out beautiful!
Thank you! 💖💕
I wish I lived in a universe where Tiffany and Tuesday dethroned Barbie. She is superior her eyes, the hair gimmick, her town home. It was so perfect 😢
PS She looks Great..love Tuesday with Red Hair!
Thank you ❤️😊
Your Tuesday Taylor reroot came out pretty well
Thank you ❤️
Smashing. And the outfit you designed is amazing. Heading to your Etsy now
Nice hair Ginger Reen!
Hahaha! That sounds like some kind of fruit "Hey, would anyone like a gingereen!?" 😂 Thank you 😊❤️
Gorgeous ❤ ! Had ❤ had these dolls as a kid . The big one I still have . Definitely going to be on the hunt for a smaller one to reroot .
Thank you! 💖 Oh, you mean Tiffany? She's cute. I would have loved this doll as a kid. A shame she was no longer around.
I love her she is so beautiful
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hi your hair colour is awesome, wow that really suits you. Respect
Thank you! 😘 I actually don't like it looking back. It made me look more pale than I am 🤷🏼♂️
Extraordinary Work, congrats!
Thank you so much! 🥰 I am so thrilled with her. It is like having a brand new doll but with that added sense of accomplishment.
She turned out beautifully. I love the fashion you made for her and her new hair is great.
She is gorgeous!! I have loved Tuesday all my life. I still have my original one my mom bought me when I was very young. I'm 57 now. but bought a second hand one and gave her red hair. I'm also a Dusty doll lover. The Cher doll and the bionic woman doll also have shoes to fit Tuesday Taylor. I just found your channel. Definitely subscribing!!!
I had the Tuesday Taylor that tanned when I was little
Wow👍👍👍👍
Great job! Very meticulous. Brings back great memories. I absolutely loved the TT Penthouse.
It came out absolutely gorgeous! Rip to your fringers I know they were hurting after but at least it was worth it😭❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! 🥰 It was indeed worth the suffering 😂 I am just about to watch your latest video. I have been dying to watch it! I need to catch up on a few others too 😭🤞🏻
🧡She looks absolutely SMASHING, Dean! Well done! Love the hair colors so much! 🧡
Thank you so much! ❤️🥰 That is a huge compliment coming from you! I loved that one time I caught you live. So informative and fun.
Hi! Wow!! Great job!!! Love it!!!
Thank you ❤️
Beautiful!! You did a great job of explaining! I have a Tuesday to reroot and now I’m looking forward to it!!
Thank you Debbie ❤️😊 I felt like I probably over-explained, but that's me 🤷🏼♂️😂 I didn't realise you were going to reroot a Tuesday too! I can't wait to see! 🥰
She is beautiful ! Your rerooting looks factory perfect.
Aww, thank you ❤️🥰 It isn't quite factory perfect but it is a start 😂😊 Well, I guess I HAVE unboxed NRFB dolls that have lost hair due to poor rooting 🤷🏼♂️😱 I need to get better at removing the thread mainly.
So glad you used an old doll i love this doll and have a few that have been re rooted .. such a fab 70s doll.
Thank you 💖
I love your redhead hair. ❤ good job at rerooting.
Mine!? Thank you ❤️❤️❤️🥰 Thank you so much. I am surprised it came out so well for a first (completed) go 😂😊
I never saw your TLC Tuesday Taylor before you re-rooted her... LOL her hair!!!! 😅 It looks too funny, like a mad scientist character whom I forgot the name of! She looks amazing as a redhead! (Cousin It!! LOL) Genius idea to use authentic vintage Ideal doll hair!!!! And I LOVE the idea that you still kept to Tuesday's switch-able two tone hair by using Crissy and Cinnamon's different shades. Great re-root tutorial! (Though I would never have the patience to do it! 😜) Your loops inside the head are so neat!!!! Great tip on how to cut the hair using the masking tape. I love when you swish that hair to camera! 'KerCHUHHHH' LOL And I'm SO gonna buy that dress for my Tuesday Taylors (or actually, maybe Taylor Jones will get to wear it! 😁)
She looks beautiful Deany! Great work! With this hair color she looks like another Ideal doll, Jodi! Love the dress you made too! 💗
Oh! Of course! Jodi! I hadn't thought of her. She has the long hair too doesn't she? Thank you so much! ❤️😊🥰
I use those old Ideal dolls for the hair all the time. If you get ones that have a great cond ponytail you can reroot so many dolls and that old hair they used is so amazing !
This is so awesome! I just got my first Tuesday Taylor kind of by luck after watching your last video about her and keeping my eye out for one. I need to reroot mine and haven’t found any good information about it, until now. You’re amazing, as always. Thank you!
Thank you 🥰❤️ Oh wow! Congrats! So she is used? I am sure she will look gorgeous! Be sure to share her when you have done, or even if you manage to tame her hair. Aww, I am glad the video was useful. I felt like maybe I was repeating myself too much but I wanted to be sure everything was clear 😂🤷🏼♂️
I like to use a ventilation hook handle (used for wig making) with a sewing needle inserted backwards and the eye cut at an angle. The handle is designed to hold tiny metal hooks, so it holds needles really well. They're also pretty inexpensive and you can get them on amazon. It could save you a lot of time in the future, I'll usually be able to get a re-root done in a couple of hours (which beats the hell out of 2 days).
Is that what they call a reroot tool? Can it be used for the loop method or is it exclusively for the tension method? and how does it work? Hahaha, sorry for all the questions ❤️ Thanks for the suggestion 🥰
@@DeanReen It's sort of a pseudo-reroot tool; the handle is longer and thinner than what's usually used to hold the needle, so you get a bit more control and it's easier to hold. If you use a long enough needle the loop method would work, I've used glue to secure the hair instead of looping it though, so I can't speak from experience of using long needles. I imagine the needle might get a bit bendy if you try to insert it too fast; doll making needles are pretty long and durable, they might do the job. Essentially, the cut eye of the needle makes a little hook to grab the hair and you just plug it in and let it do its thing.
@@niknarkotique2996 WOW! Thank you so much for all of this info! I had no idea they made specific doll needles even! I can't bring myself to do the glue myself but I will have to give this a go with the loop method.
Yes...rerooting is a VERY LENGTHY project and it's quite difficult, so yes...I understand. I feel you have to REALLY, REALLY love a doll to go thru all this process, but....the results are ALWAYS FASCINATING!!!!!
I loved it! Totally Hair TT... You made a great, awesome first reroot. I used to make this method but without thread. That floral print dress is lovely. Ah, your new look is cool!💜
Thank you ❤️🥰 How did it work without thread? Even with the thread I found I would occasionally lose the centre of the loop and would have to do the plug again. Thank you times two ❤️😊
@@DeanReen I put a bit of water on the loop, then insert in the needle.
@@omarrodriguez-xu2wl Ahh! Fantastic! Thank you ❤
I never realized how pretty Tuesday's face actually is! When I get one I will definitely reroot her and use this as a guide! Great video :)
It really is! She is a little dramatic too 😂 It is unfortunate as she does need a little attention to look her best, but when she does she is really something special. Thank you ❤️ I doubt you would need a guide though 😂❤️🥰
i really do appreciate this video. i now feel like there is hope for my Tuesday Taylor doll.
i hate rerooting, but i think it will be easier for this doll because you can take the scalp off.
Your Totally Hair Tuesday is fabulous, and that dress is perfect!
She makes me think of autumn and cinnamon by the fireside in 1974.
There definitely is! The scalp is really a life saver. You can reroot, replace, swap. It is actually really handy. The scalp IS harder than a usual head but a reroot is definitely possible. Thank you so much Blake ❤️😊
The red hair and the length tube such a hippie vibe
Definitely 😂💖 I love the 70s 🥰
Cute
Que linda! Está boneca ficou perfeita
Thank you so much! ❤️😊
@deenreen I know it has been a year since you posted this and probably by now you may be aware, but there is a special tool made just for rerooting dolls that makes life a lot easier. I love what you did with this one, she looks amazing! I have rerooted a couple of Barbies and with the rerooting tool, it was a breeze. :)
Thank you for the suggestion. I know the tool you mean. It is for a different rerooting method known as the "tension method". I personally prefer the loop method as it feels more secure and resembles the original factory rooting pattern.
First of all, beautiful job! Clever to use Chrissy hair, as that’s what would’ve been used on her if she were a red head no doubt. Secondly the outfit is chefs kiss. It’s beautifully fitted and accurate in fabric texture and design to what would’ve been available for Tuesday. Also I used to reroot like you did. It was painful and the sores on your fingers… I still have ptsd from it lol I got a rerooting tool and I have to say I love it. It’s made it more enjoyable and o still do get a little bit of rawness from doing the loop and lock method. But nothing as extreme as doing it by needle. I love watching your videos my sweet friend!! I watch them while I work on my dolls
Thank you so much ❤️😊 That is exactly why I had to use Crissy hair 😂 I am such a stickler about things being authentic and what not. Hahaha, I am so thick! I was sitting here for like 5 minutes trying to think what is meant by chefs kiss and then it clicked 😂 Thank you! 🥰 I had bought the fabric just because I couldn't not buy it obviously but I had no idea what to make with it. It was only recently that I realised what you have just said, that is a material Ideal would have used. Hahaha! PTSD! So true! I have been putting off my next project because of the pain it caused. I am going to have to try out one of the reroot tools. Everyone is suggesting them to me. Aww, thank you ❤️ I am so glad you enjoy them! Have you ever thought of doing videos? It is a fair bit of work but some people have a knack for keeping things concise and therefore don't have to do so much editing. I am not one of those people 😂❤️
Great first try at rerooting. I loved that loop-locking technique. For removing extra hair, I use medical forceps that lock. It makes removing all the bits a breeze. And to help you poor, sore fingers, I use a push pin to widen the hole. It shrinks back to place after a while. That's especially helpful for Bratz reroots since their headz are much denser! Try some more! I'm looking forward to it!!!! And I love that you scalped a Crissy doll! Made me laugh! All for beauty, right? :)
The hair whip transition is ahah.
You’re so talented bro!!! I wish I can do that to my dolls too 😭
Wow! Thank you so much! I think it is more patience than anything else. I am surprised I finished it at all TBH 😂❤️
@@DeanReen my pleasure! Exactly! I can’t imagine the hours doing it coz tbh for me to wash my thrifted Barbie body and hair is exhausting enough 😂 keep it up bro! You’re really inspiring. ❤️❤️❤️
@@mohamadedris2083 Hahaha! I find it exhausting too! I have a huge bag of dolls needing a bath in my bathtub. It annoys me but it just takes so much energy. Thank you so much! ❤😊
Lovely reroot, she looks amazing~! I'd recommend to next time use a thimble, your fingers will thank you for it, lol!
Thank you so much! ❤️ Omigosh! I keep forgetting to buy one of those things!!! The amount of times I have been to the sewing store and passed right past them 😭😩 VERY good advice!
You can boil the bald scalp to shrink the holes before you reroot to make the hold even tighter and use less hair to fill up the holes, and theres a product called "Loctite Vinyl Fusion" that you can use to seal the split part holes and have it still be flexible! I personally use the knot technique for vintage dolls and the punch-tool technique for newer dolls with glue, both of which are a lot faster than the lock and loop but also arguably a little lazier and messy haha. Great job!!
I love your fashion. Tuesday does have a pretty face mould. Your reroot looks good. The length of hair gives her a real 70s vibe and I never knew how weird that turning scalp was or that it was the only part that was rooted. Sad that modern dolls seem to have less innovations compared to the vintage ones.
On the side with the scalp showing it might be the side of the bangs , so if you give her a fringe the scalp issue will be hidden under it…
I am no expert in rerooting but yours looks very professionally done ✅
I liked the double reveal 😂 you snatched both hers and the viewer’s wigs with the color reveal!
I see you getting off the limo Lohan… 👀🤣🤣🤣🤣
The scalp I used was from Suntan Tuesday so no bangs. I think it was just lazy rooting but I honestly don't mind it that much. I think tiny flaws like that add charm. Plus there is no way I am doing any more work on this, not any time soon 😂😩 Thank you so much 🥰 I am far from being an expert too. I hope I don't give off the impression that I am 😂 Hahaha, Thank you... I think 🤷🏼♂️😂❤️😊🥰
👍👍 получилось очень красиво
Thank you so much! ❤️😊
Love her as a red head but, I cringed when you took two great dolls and , used their ponytails. I would love to find a crochet hook small enough to fit the hair plugs. This would be a hand saver. I am looking to re-root a Thumbelina doll and, a 1950s fashion type doll. Looking for better quality doll hair for this.
Thank you for showing how TT skull cap comes off. Nice work ❤️🤗
How cute is he....r hair i mean her hair!! Yea....
Hahaha, thank you and thank you 😘💖
you did well though
I just finished re-rooting a few Barbie dolls that I bought at the local thrift store. I turned Western Barbie from blonde to brunette 👩🏻because her hair was cut really short and she looks better as a brunette and I used stick on eyelashes to fill the gap above the eyes. I also re-rooted a Heart Family mom that had most of her hair cut off (I have two other Heart Family moms with normal hair, one with the original pink and white dress with original white open toe shoes ), so I turned her into a redhead 👩🏻🦰.
She looks so cool and what did u do to chrissy and cinnamon
Thank you ❤️😊 Oh, umm, well.... they went to live on a farm where they will have lots of room to run around 😳
Not bad for your first reroot! Will you be restoring the Crissy and Cinnamon dolls?
Thank you. No, they are not my thing and they were quite gross.
@@DeanReen that's cool, I know someone who would probably buy them form you if you don't want them 🙂
Hi Dean. Hope you're okay. Miss seeing your videos and you! Maybe we'll see you soon.
Thank you for thinking of me Rann! ❤️ I am well, hope you are well too ❤️😊
@@DeanReen I am, thank you. Although it's been a worrisome few months for several reasons personally. I saw your video last night and I send my hugs to you! Take it easy on yourself and do only what you want to do is my advice.
From Auburn Brown to Ginger Orange
Do you think the same method will work to take off Jam n glam barbies head?
It may do. I don't have those dolls myself but it seems like the same mechanism.
I love the dress do you still have one ????
Thank you, yes, I still have two but i am not selling at the moment. You can follow my Etsy and get notified when I list new things 😊💖
Could her hair be boil washed? I just got the rotating hair suntan Tuesday Taylor and I would love to keep her original hair!
I used a straightener on the rerooted hair and it worked really well. You need to ensure it doesn't get too hot though and you need to work fast. Boil washing could help too. I would try the boil wash first and see how that goes. Don't forget to test anything you do on a small inconspicuous strand first before doing it to the whole lot. Good luck! ❤️😊
@@DeanReen Thank you so much!
i have a rerooted STT doll. it's weird to see her with silky hair that lays down.
😂😂😂 I totally get that! ❤️
There are doll rerooting tools available (not expensive at all). They will save your fingers and hands, plus speed up the process. For a little bit more money ($500 to $2000+), you can buy the industrial version, which is similar to a custom sewing machine. They do about 1000 hairs a minute. 😊 czcams.com/video/_AsaUmhQ8kU/video.html as an example
I wish I had counted the strands before rerooting my doll, I used too much hair for the plugs and her hair is so thick but I can barely do anything with it. When watching rerooting videos they never tell you that. Well lesson learned I guess
I started a reroot years ago and never finished it. I didn't count the strands and it didn't look too great. In addition to that the head was very hard and densely rooted. Live and learn 😂
Don't you and Tuesday look good in Crissy auburn hair! You know if you decide to do that again in a different color, or colors on another Tuesday Taylor. If you're not needing it to be the locked method you used. You can use a tag gun you can get easily and cheaply online. What's really nice about this method is that you don't even have to remove the scalp. You simply use an already knotted piece of hair, you load the tag gun, and just stick the needle in the hole and pull the trigger. Done and no pain on your poor fingers. There are videos on YT showing exactly how to do it. It works well, it's fast and because of the knot on the end, and how tight Tuesday's pre-punched rooting holes are. So it should hold well as long as you don't pull too hard on the hair while combing or brushing. I actually have a Tuesday doll that looks like the before version and now I'm very tempted to make my own with that pretty color and long length. I would simply do the Crissy color all over, but the combo of the two is so perfect because that's how the doll was designed, so one side is very different from the other. You do great work.💮
omg counting the strands are you kidding me no no no no no!!!!!!!
Hahaha, I know 😝
Люба барби 😀😀🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
💖😊
Não gostei porque ainda ficou mostrando a calvície dela
She's not for everyone I guess. But I love her 😊
@@DeanReen 🇧🇷?
@@jailsondasilva2769 Sorry, I don't understand to question.
well. I don't have to watch since you showed finished doll in thumbnail.
Then don't, if all you are interested in is the finished product.
She turned out beautifully. I love the fashion you made for her and her new hair is great.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
