- Welcome back to Reborn with Me!
So, we drew a hair plan and we discussed how to root mohair to follow that hair plan. Now, it's time to root!
I'll cover three basic steps in micro-rooting:
1. Warming the Head
2. Preparing the Hair
3. Micro-Rooting!
Before getting into the rooting groove, please check out Rooting Ergonomics to avoid repetitive strain injury!

Such a great teacher of rebounding ❤❤❤❤
Please can you tell me what needle to use to root mohair? I’ve tried a 42 German fork but not successful😩
Best hair rooting tutorial ever. Thank you.
fantastic I feel more confident now. I have two more dolls to make and rooting was my most fearful thing to do. The plan helped. many thanks
Thank you. I'm rooting my baby a we speak. Your tutorials have helped me so much.
I just found your videos and i am so thankful. i looked many places to figure out the best way to root and every single video i looked either is not specific enough or has terrible quality. But your videos are PERFECT for me and help me learn the best. Thank you.
Thanks so much! I hope you check out the whole rooting series! customdollbaby.com/reborn-doll-artist-tips/welcome-to-the-rooting-series
I've had less broken rooting needles as a result when I heat with rice sacks! :)
Love your videos. Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to put the bigger toddler babies together. I have not been able to find any and would like to go over how to put in the armature and/or body connectors on the bigger dolls. Thanks for your videos they are wonderful! You do beautiful work.
Merci pour tous vos conseils,
Thank you so much!!! I've broke 4 needles!! I needed this
Love your rooting tool
great video Kim! with the rice sock, I run my hand under water and then squeeze the rice sock to just get it a little damp, it gets the sock hotter and seems to keep it warmer, once in the head, a little longer.
I forgot to add, I do that before I microwave it so that the damp sock heats up too and is pretty much dried when it comes out
+Shannon Denison Awesome tip! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kim thank you so much for your tutorials very nice. Im from Mozambique - Africa, and Im learning with you, thank you very, very much.
I would like to ask you if do have a complete video on biracial reborn babies, from start to beginning , I have seen the one from chanell, but i do not know if i can do every thing as for the caucasian babies and then starting with the skin layers with flhash 03 ?
muchisimas gracias
I did the exact same style you did I also added eyebrows and fake eyelashes (I had to cut it a bit) My cousin thought it was a real baby 😂
thank u!!
Eu amo seus videos, parabéns!
Obrigado!
Where you bought the niddle?, I like the way you teach that, thanks
Olá kim, este cabelo que você usou é da ruby red?
Oi Kim, ainda tenho muitas dúvidas do melhor mohair, existem muitos, liso, curvo, slumberland....., qual é mais liso? qual da um caimento melhor pra recém nascido? vc poderia fazer um vídeo mostrando esta variedade? Obrigada.
Mohair pode ser muito caro. Eu uso apenas algumas marcas. Eu lista-los no meu site: customdollbaby.com/reborn-doll-artist-tips/find-the-perfect-curl-for-your-biracial-reborn-dolls Obrigado!
could you use like weave hair or other hair that you can get from a hair store?
Yes! Here are the tutorials:
czcams.com/video/1sJ7hPwgXjM/video.html
czcams.com/video/mCvbaR3ShQE/video.html
Just make sure that your hair store hair is actually human hair. A lot of things that say 100% human on the package but are actually synthetic blends. If it cost less than $40 a pack, it is probably a blend.
Hi Kim 🤗 just wondering where did you purchase the rooting tool you are using in this tutorial?
I got mine on Amazon. You can probably find it in the felting section of your local art supply store:
Dimensions Needlecrafts Feltworks Single Needle Felting Tool

Link: amzn.com/B004W8SR06
please, tell me to make the drawing, you to use special plaster or plain school plaster? :) my english is bad
For the smallest holes, what size Needle should I purchase?, also how many barbs for a real effect?
One more question, how do you get the wispy tiny hairs around the face?
I’ve thrown 6 heads away that I’ve gotten upset with but keep coming back telling myself I WILL do this for my granddaughters, I could give ten one of the baby’s I’ve purchased but that’s not as special. I would love to give them one I made with my old hands to pass down when I’m gone..
Thank you for any help you may offer..
Kindest Regards
Mara
Also how would you heat up a rice sack if you didn't have a microwave?
I just became a Reborn mommy. She's a Lee Middleton doll. I think she beautiful but what I hate is her hair. Is there any place that I can send her/ take her to where they will change her hair? Her hair is not rooted it's looks as if the hair was placed on a cloth and then glued onto the head. In any case I don't like it and would love to change it to hair that looks more like it belongs on an AA baby head.
the easiest fix on this is to order a more lifelike newborn doll wig to replace the hair. You can also buy hair and carefully glue instead of rooting. You only glue a few hairs at a time. I have done this with a few dolls as some of the vinyl is just to thick for rooting.
I got a Lee Middleton doll from my friend years ago! I put her in the closet, so now I'm getting into reborn dolls. I had the same reaction to the hair on the Middleton doll !!!!!!! Its the Angel Locks doll. IDK how old this site is but hope you had some luck on fixing your doll. 💖
Yes can we use humen hair I got my kids hair ...for Manny years help
#Kim do you root in the direction of the pattern part you choose do do first, then direct the rooting the design of the next patch you choose? Thanx so much for sharing it's always so helpful 👶👌🏼🙂
Since you pull some forward anyway, why do you need to trim it to a straight edge1st?
Hi Kim!!! Thank you so much for this video!! I see you're using ruby red mohair. Are you ok with it? Looks like it roots well.
Kim I love your tutorials. I have learned so much from you. But where can i get mohair that is good but not so expensive?
Maybe try one of these? customdollbaby.com/reborn-doll-artist-tips/find-the-perfect-curl-for-your-biracial-reborn-dolls
I found these on amazon
www.amazon.com/Brown-Straight-Combed-Making-Pieces/dp/B016YFW840/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479253862&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=rooting+needles+for+reborn+dolls
It's $8.99!
Kitty K That's cool. Just keep in mind that it isn't mohair. It's Kanekalon - a synthetic fiber like you'd find on Barbie dolls.
Is this a vinyl or silicone head? And is it the same idea for each type of doll?
Hello, what temperature do have the flat iron on when did the Ashers mohair on the video?
My hair is straight and soft light could that be used in dolls hair.just asking
what kind of needle would i use for human hair?
Depending on the donor, a 42 gauge should do the trick. More information on hair to needle matching on my blog: customdollbaby.com/reborn-doll-artist-tips/rooting-103-assessing-your-needle-needs
where should i buy for to get the tool and the needle right for root hair on reborn head ? please me size of needle and which one you are think the best for root hair on reborn doll ? thanks.
+NuHoangThanhnu TraiTaoThomusa My favorite tool is on Amazon: amzn.com/B004W8SR06
but there are many great tools out there. You just have the find the one that is comfortable for you.
Which needle is a far more complicated question because it depends on both how you root and what kind of hair you're rooting. I'm slowly rolling out videos to help with that question. But in the meantime, all the information is on my blog: customdollbaby.com/3/post/2015/12/rooting-103-assessing-your-needle-needs.html
Where can I get a rooting tool like the one your using?
I'm making a doll of my kids and have my daughters hair that was just cut off. Will that work for a newborn doll, and what size needle for using her hair?
You can root human hair on a newborn doll. The challenge is that adolescent/adult human hair is a lot thicker hair follicle than infant human hair, which is why we typically use goat hair to look more like baby hair. In any case, you can certainly use your daughter's hair, but depending on her age when it was cut, you may have some challenge getting it to lay down on the doll. Here's a lot more information on rooting human hair:

thanks for the info. She is 22 now. and just had it cut.
Hi . From where do u get your rooting tool? Thank you
where do you buy your 42g crown needles in bulk ?
Hello do you sell the nedle i look in Amazon and say os noto variable
hi i was wonder if can use human hair instead of mohair
+Jenna Albert You can use human hair instead of mohair. I typically use human hair on my toddlers. A strand of human hair is about 2x as thick as a strand of mohair. So it will have a tendency to want to stick up where mohair would have laid down. But I think fine European hair would look nice on an infant doll.
@@Customdollbabycom how about the human synthetic high heat blends? I have a feeling it would be more difficult for needle to go through … any thoughts?
Hi, I've tried rooting this way and the needles I have never place the hair in!! I've bought all kinds. Would you mind telling me which needle exactly are you using in this video? Thanks so much in advance for your reply
Hi +Desiree Velez ! That sounds frustrating. :( I'm using a 42 gauge crown with Ruby Red mohair. What kind of hair are you using? If the barbs are too shallow and the hair is too thick, it won't catch. There's more info on barb depth and hair diameter on my website. Hope that helps! customdollbaby.com/reborn-doll-artist-tips/rooting-103-assessing-your-needle-needs
+CustomDollBaby.com I usually use Delta Dawn and have used Slumberland Hair. I have never used Ruby Red mohair. I think I've ordered the 42g crown, I'll have to look through my container of needles, I went ahead and ordered the tool you're using :) For the majority of the time I wrap a rubber band around the top to hold it. But I'll check out your link. You make it seem so easy (and looks great!) I appreciate you taking the time to answer me. Have a great week!!
These are finer mohair brands than Ruby Red, I'd imagine. A 42g should be deep enough to catch. You can also make sure that the barb side of the needle is facing the direction from which you're grabbing the hair. I demonstrate this in another video: czcams.com/video/qvXr25c-UOs/video.html Good luck!
What's the barb side of the needle? I've looked at it so long my eyes hurt and both sides of the needle look the exact same. (Sorry I'm brand new at this)
I was wondering, how do you not puncture the rice sock as you are rooting? I thought the sock had to go all the way in
I puncture the sock constantly. It's knit, so it doesn't matter.
Please Can you tell me what kind of needle you use ? the name and size
+Regina Reborn 42 gauge crown
thank you! and that needle would be how many barbs?
3 - one on each side.:)
How long did it take you to learn to root?
Do you have any advice for someone that wants to try this for my first time ever! Lol it would be greatly appreciated thank you and have a blessed day
Hi Kim, where did you purchase your lighted magnifier? Tks in advance
And your needle holder? ☺️
I found mine at JoAnn, though they don't seem to have the exact same model anymore. Be careful working under magnification for long periods of time as they can cause eye strain headache. www.joann.com/ottlite-2-in-1-led-magnifier-floor-and-table-lamp/12398111.html#sz=36&start=37
