Is it completely necessary to knot the hair first if you’re just gonna glue it down later?

this blythe looks like 2012 lana del rey o: so cute

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing! I found you through Beth Ramsden 🩷

I love EVERYTHING about this video!

I just love your videos, Eleanor! Video and audio is so clear and you use a good working pace that is perfect for following along. Two questions for you: 1. Why do you use a crochet hook instead of the rerooting tool that I've seen used by other customizers? Is it just personal preference? Is there some drawback to the rerooting tool for this knotted technique? 2. I've noticed that many customizers paint the scalp the same color as the hair, and have even seen the same with factory scalps as well. Doesn't it make sense to leave the scalp flesh color since that is how it would look on an actual person?🙂 I realize that may be a personal preference, but just curious to get your thoughts on it. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience!

YES, this was extremely helpful, thanks so much, Eleanor! I'm preparing to make a mohair reroot and you actually used an example of the exact same style (and color) that I'll be using, so I feel more confident that I know how much to buy and use. Thank you! :D 🥰

Very nice work, turned out lovely! Thank you for sharing this great tutorial. :D

they all make wonderful rugs

lol@alpaca

Any updates on this girl?

donno why this video come up again but it did i still adore the first doll you talked about i can remember going too different towns and places to pick up dolls in the 90s so much fun

Какая она милая 💛🎉

So glad Ali now has icy doll scalps with the holes already in there. This has been super helpful.

What is the name of the tool you use to punch in the holes? I can’t quite catch it! Thankyou so much for this tutorial

Hola! Puedes hacer un vídeo para abrir y retirar el cabello original a una blythe fake? Cómo se destapa su cuero cabelludo, geacias❤

That's my grail doll Kenner of course many people want her! Do you have any advice on cleaning the yellow on the eyes of a vintage Kenner Thank you so much and I look forward to more of your restore videos.

Thank you!!!! This helps a lot, I myself love way toooooo much hair and would have been upset the dome wouldn’t fit on. (Have to wait for the parts in the mail to do my first reroot.)

Thank you so much for this awesome video! I'm totally new to rerooting but have some beautiful llama and alpaca hair to use on a Blythe scalp. When rerooting a Blythe scalp, do I need to purchase a dome as well?

Great restore!😍

Can you reroot a Barbie with that hair?

Thank you so much for sharing this video, just wonder what stand called you using for doll’s head sits on it? I’m new to rerooting the scalp and the next project will be the cutting the hair and I need to get something like yours for my doll hair

Cute nails! Great info

It's kind of look like Barbie doll

Thank you so so much for this video! I picked up a super yellowed Kenner at a convention last week and wanted to take her apart to clean. Thanks to you I wasn’t totally terrified to try!

What do the lines that you counted round the back mean?

How would you go about re-rooting the hair with hair that looks like the original hair it came with? Like, the short poodle-like curly hair? I have one that belonged to my mom but her hair's really dirty and matted and idk if I could clean it well enough. (Unless you have tips for that?)

I repaired one and OH MY GOD I was shocked on how easy it was to repair the eye string (did not know there was four screws so that almost went bad )

You are so brave! Do you have a recommendation for replacing KB body? My KBs neck snapped. :(

Hi Eleanor! Do you have the hair slightly wet when you use the straighteners? Or any product? Kindest regards! Vikki

Love how you keep them dressed in vintage looking outfits i must say the first doll you got is amazing her hair is just stunning you must be so proud of her

The first doll with the bush is lovely obviously not original but she is unique i love the hair.

I use my hair straighteners also you get very good results. on original blythe dolls and takara dolls .

So glad you could fix her i love restoring doll hair .. its a great feeling love how you said its your doll and you can do what you want .. so true.

Thankyou for your video! I have bought 2 of your re roots a few years ago and they are incredible! Where did you get the tool from that makes the holes? Im struggling to find it 💕

This is very useful! Thanks for sharing your skill and know how!

How many grams of alpaca did you use?

I LOVE your 'disclaimer'. he he he I would LOVE to be able to find a Kenner I could afford. You did a lovely job on YOUR Kenner Blythe.

You are so lucky to find a Kenner Blythe! Would love to restorate one to. Loved your video.

Can I ask what make/model your straighteners are please? Mine are valuable, but still too hot, even on wet hair!

Awesome! I've seen people add glue over the knot to keep them in place. Do you do that? And if yes, what glue?

Very nice video!

Do you know how I can get rid of the play button in the middle of the screen?

천천히 보여 주세요~~ 자막보다는 머리카락 심는걸 보여주는 더 좋어요

hypothetical question...if you purchased 4 oz of alpaca, in raw form, not processed, due to processing, how much hair (generally speaking) do you think gets lost?

Hello, your videos are so helpful. Do you approach the reroot any differently if you know that you will be cutting fringe/bangs? Thanks!

Just Wondering why you don’t make a double knot?...instead of two separate ones??.. perhaps it has a better hold??.. I love your videos!! thanks so much for sharing so much great information!!🌸

I need a stand did you make it ?great job xx

Bangs is a funny name for a fringe isn't it .

Thanks for this video 💖
