Tips and Tricks for Rooting a Reborn Doll

[@pixiemermaid]

Stefanie does nice painting . Clean. Nice glow, blushing. Baby doesnt look dead, her babies has life and circuation flow appearance, with nice natural yellow undertones and also appreciate that baby doesnt look bruised with too much blue anywhere (some reborn artists i feel overdo the blue showing up too much).. but you and stef are a great team. Both of you have mastered the skill of reborning very well. Nice artistry guys. Thanks for the turorial videos and reborn reveals as you do. I do appreciate you two sharing with us your reborn journey experiences.

[@lorisrebornsandotherstuff2898]

This is video is over 3 years old and it is the best rooting video I've seen. Thank you Jackie.

[@az0941560]

While rooting I have to remind myself “it will look good in the end, it will look good in the end, it will look good in the end” lol

[@krystiearey5138]

Thank you for sharing your skills with us. I am definitely saving your tutorial videos because I am going to try reborning. I know it's not easy but you really make it look easy. Your work amazes me. So does Stephanie's. I own one of her works of art. She was one of her "budget babies" but i love her and she is awesome.

[@YuVaughn]

Would you show rerooting a doll that needs the hair replaced from a bad root?

[@tammiepuga10]

Jackie Your So Talented, And Have Lots Of Patience. I Absolutely Love Your Work. I'm A Newbie To These Precious Angels And One Day Pray To Own One Of Your Precious Angels. 👶❤

[@BootsieDior74]

Wow what can I say that I haven't already said, you are so amazing at everything you do Jackie! I run out of words to say but I am learning so much from watching you share your skills. Thank you and Fabulous Work!!

[@77pJeffsgirl]

You explain things so well Jackie. Ty for sharing. :)

[@tinabray9010]

Beautiful rooting. Thanks for sharing this .

[@nearandfarreborndolls7493]

Thank you so much for this video. I learn from everyone that you have done. I would love to see the completed doll.

[@thelyonfamily1456]

thanks for the video! I bought a reborn that needs rooting of the hair due to the "artist" who just glued a very cheap wig to its head. I think the hair rooting would look a whole lot better and be tougher when I barely put a brush against the hair. also my vinyl doll's eyelashes are falling off. the baby itself looks real just needs a few touch ups.

[@weebiedolls]

This is very helpful.. I struggle with the sparse newborn rooting. It always is thicker than I intend. You do a good job with it

[@moneciaboozer9903]

Thanks for sharing! You make it look easy and do an Awesome job.

[@GetaPetaHome]

I am watching your brilliant angle toward the neck, and We so wish all artists angled hair properly, not like rays from the sun that all go directly out from the middle. It's such a disappointment when people do beautiful work with every single thing and then you realize that your wonderful sculpt, high-rated seller has this rooting error. I even pulled all the hair out of one of my EXPENSIVE ones, just to get rid of that look. I started over, correcting the other artists' work. GORGEOUS WORK!

[@heart2heartbabies]

@nanasreborns Yes! Of course. I already have a video related to this, but I can cover more and get a better angle of my work. Thank you for commenting and watching 💕

[@daynaplays4916]

Can you do a baby from start to finish. Like from the first layer of paint to the last piece of mohair. I’m a beginner and I think that this would help me and other new artists as well

[@laurensreborns93]

I'd love to see how you get the hair so flat afterwards! Love all of the videos, they're so pleasant to watch!

[@rosalieatkinson5088]

Can u show me how you made your needle thanks

[@brendaoden9540]

I like the way you do it and explain it.

[@crimwolf5216]

One day can you do one on how to redo (take out) an already rooted soft vinyl ?

[@dove7271]

If one does not want to use Mohair, I was pondering if it could be substituted by gettinga store bought doll and cut the hair off it and use that instead... Would that work atall ?? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks. God Bless. I tried painting the hair, its just No go for me, I mapped it and looked fine, but when painted was a toatle disaster.so thought I'd better move on toRooting or wigs. Lol... :(

[@paola286]

why is this so relaxing?

[@heart2heartbabies]

@weebiedolls This gives me an idea for a video. I will share it tomorrow. Thank you so much for commenting!!!

[@rikitamccoy9054]

Thanks for sharing your rooting technics.

[@kalanime]

Thank you Jackie! Very helpful video!! 👍

[@pixiemermaid]

Jackie ortiz. Is the rooting goddess lol you rock!

[@addyandlol7018]

How does the hair stay in the head do you glue it?

[@irishgirlshobby2462]

Awesome videos girl!! You make it look so smooth and easy, thank you so much for these helpful videos, I really appreciate it!!!❤️

[@TheRebornhobby]

SO TRUE , WE NEED LOTS AND LOTS OF PATIENCE !!

[@MINERVARIOSmin_crafts]

wow! That's a lot of work!

[@DollsByMichelle]

Beautiful!! What are you using with your needle?

[@moosuki1]

where do you buy the hair? and what type of hair is it? thank you

[@ArrowandMommy]

thanx Jackie this was very helpful! I wish you could paint and root it's a boy by tina kewy for me so badly 😊 thanx Jackie!

[@reborncutiepies677]

I love your nails!

[@suyung58]

Wow so fast and yet so finely rooted, i just cant root from the ends and i cant get on with the fork needle either, both of which is needed to achieve rooting like this. Wish i could do it like this. having to try and aim one hair on the head and root from the middle takes forever!

[@kaykay1kc]

30 hours to root a head?! my babies are all going to have fine hair!

[@virginiarosenbaum7211]

Thank you good job your baby’s are so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferbeasley9966]

Looks very nice👍👍 maybe you can help me with a rooting technique ,I have only one working hand it's my right .I love painting and making reborns but when it comes to rooting I never like my result ,because I don't have a left hand to tack down and hold the hair I have to set it on the head and just poke the needle around I try to Stay at the end of the hair but it just slip slides off and around so I always hate my results 😟 can you think of an alternative way? Just thought I would ask a pro. Your rooting is emaculant love it

[@_Just_A_Friendly_Nightmare_]

Do you have a video of how you mapped the baby’s head? 🙂

[@krisb2617]

i have a problem holding the hair it seems to slip out of my fingers? I dont want to hold it tight

[@pixiemermaid]

Old skool rooting needle tip: i use an organ brand sewing machine needle size 9. I take cutco brand scissors (black handled scissors as regular cutters wont cut the strong organ metal needles) and so ya, anwyways: i cut the sharp tip off right at the eye which makes a forked Y.. it grabs 1 or 2 hairs. I like this method better than felting needles the shaft is so strong never breaks . (Btw i cut at a slight slant) this is my favorite needle method also for the length of needle in the mushroom holder tool, i have good control. Size 9 needles, are thinner than 42 gauge felting needles yet stronger. I am guessing it is 46 gauge. Love it. Been doing this since 2007. Have tried felting needles but i cant get the hang of using.

[@Sydneyblue101]

Omg, Jackie...I'm so freaking jealous!! Do you find that you are naturally good at reborning? (Like, was it destiny for you to become a reborn artist? Don't mean to sound cheesy...Haha) Your nails are so gorgeous! How much mohair do you think you go through for each doll?

[@danieldelon6277]

I like the way you root . I do the same . yes, I would charge the same price . We spend so many hours on a doll. We shouldn't sale them cheap anyway.

[@nanasreborns1469]

Thank you sweetie could you show how you map a head and how to follow the mapping when rooting thank you sweetie

[@iluvallmybabies]

It takes me forevermore but I do only 1 hair sometimes 2 and I pull it out if I can

[@heart2heartbabies]

+iluvallmybabies Likewise :) I use my tweezers if I get in a few hairs in there.

[@WishesNWonder]

Thank you again, for the fantastic tutorial. Rooting is still something of a challenge to me. I have a few questions...Do you mind sharing where you get the JS mohair? And the prisma pencil too? Do you tend to glue the hair in place as you go or once at the end? And finally, do you cut it as you root, or just when all the rooting is completed? I really appreciate these videos!! :)))

[@lauren5744]

Prisma pencil can be purchased at a craft store. If you have a hobby lobby near you, they sell them individually and in packs. I am still trying to find Jessica smith mohair as well!

[@seriousmoonlight4546]

I was just wondering if you have any tips on rooting silicone?

[@steffanylee_]

Thank you! I'm just starting to root and this helped me a ton!

[@chuckjen8]

If I want a thick head of hair for a older baby would I root more holes closer or a different needle? Thanks so much!!

[@yolandaherrera3439]

Do you fill in between the lines on the head or just the penciled lines?

[@meglangston6762]

just watching you root is so satisfying

[@jenniferbeasley2397]

Hello, I am 41 and had a stroke so my left hand doesn't work hardly at all do you thinks it's possible to do this one handed? I have the will just don't know if there is a way? Thanks for the instructions

[@maragretegan3789]

How are you keeping the heat hoot for rooting? It is so hot to hold onto the head and hair when i warm up the head?

[@teriann1952]

Do you use one barb? I have trouble with mine grabbing more than one hair...any ideas? I hold mine very similar to yours...maybe it's the type of hair I am using. I bought some mohair...but the quality seems poor quality.

[@Kaztronomical]

It depends on the needle too because if it has 6 barbs..it has the potential to grab 6 hairs.

[@stephaniebradley8712]

thank you for tips on rooting a reborn dolls hair

[@shrinkingdiva7064]

I find I break a lot of needles if I do not soften the head. Do you heat the head up to soften it to keep from breaking the needle? If so what method do you find best to heat it up? At the moment I myself am using a sock of heated raw rice but I looking for a better method.

[@sherianthony8714]

I have watched other rooting videos before this one. Do you use a magnifying glass to ensure you are only getting one hair?

[@LailaMichelle09]

hello Jeckei I was wondering if you could do my baby's hair I love your work and I love watching your videos you're awesome at what you do ...😁😁

[@maragretegan3789]

do you root before you varnish the kit or Varnish then root>

[@Emma-zt2zf]

Would you put the needle in while the polyfil is in

[@sunshineandglory6457]

Jackie, do you cut the mohair before you begin rooting? If it's say 8" long. Or do you wait till the end. I didn't know if that's necessary for say a half oz on a nb head to make more usable hair.

[@marymiller1502]

What size needles do you use for silcone

[@emilyemmler3513]
