Rooting a silicone baby

[@Caring.Cuddles.Nursery]

I know you did this years ago but your instructions have allowed me to root almost all of our babies in the nursery . Still working at it but your breakdown has helped so much. THANK YOU😎

[@Pinkthud62]

I think the very best part of this video is that you are LEFT handed as am I. I can't believe I've had my Hazel for two years already! I had to double check and dug out her paper work. Joy of joys I had forgotten that you had send a little bag of her hair for future touch ups!! She just needs a little touch up around her temples and after watching your video I know I can do it. Anyone thinking about getting a baby made by Carolyn I would do it. She is wonderful to work with and the video's don't do justice to how lifelike her babies are.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Pinkthud62 hi! Lovely to hear from you hope you and Hazel are fine!!! Xxx

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

And thank you so much for your lovely comments xxx

[@fionamorris9634]

Just a suggestion Carolyn, Jackie Ortiz uses clay to make into holders for her rooting needles. She has a video on her KZbin channel. She basically takes a small ball of clay, wraps it around her needle and makes two indentations for her finger and thumb. And voila.❤️ Jackie spends 40 -50 hours to root a head! Phew, sounds exhausting. 😩 She also has an amazing hair cutting video on her channel if your interested.😊

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Fiona Morris that’s a really useful tip thank you 😊

[@Caring.Cuddles.Nursery]

Very helpful. The holder that came with the needles made the needles snap. But doing the rooting by hand worked so much better. I'd forgotten Jackie did that tutorial so thank you three years on.

[@tamikaoliver2043]

[@sdcobb11]

[@rubybailey3197]

Thanks for showing us the video of rooting a silicone baby hair

[@suyung58]

Wow how lovely he is and what fab rooting and also good advice on mapping the head first. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@DaisyBloomz]

Would love to learn this art form. Maybe I'll try soon. Beautiful work!

[@babykaylastar7464]

Thank you. I found this very helpful, especially the 46 needle recommendation

[@amiahmcqueen930]

Awww he is absolutely gorgeous

[@natasha1781]

Awesome video! So wonderful to see how they’re made!

[@natasha1781]

Hi mom

[@bettykulinski9814]

That is crazy how real that looks. I'm blown away.

[@lunasmum6869]

Fascinating! You always do yourself down saying you are not the best in the world. I think you are brilliant! I have been wondering how the hair is rooted. Thank you, definitely not boring! I'm left handed and always had tremendous difficulty with right handed scissors. Even now not all manufacturers of scissors have cottoned on to the fact we need the blades the opposite way round, not just the handles and they market them as for left or right handed which is impossible. If baby's hair gets pulled out in places at a later date through over zealous brushing/combing can more hair be rooted in its place?

[@artsyinabh]

U have so much patience rooting each hair one by one truly a work of art ... love the baby he so cute 💖💝💐

[@moonbeam8487]

Very nice rooting. He or she turned out so beautiful 😍. Who ever his mommy or daddy is will be so happy to get him or her.

[@smee1969]

I admired your worked Carolyn, awesome talent

[@evelynsoler9716]

Hi there I would like to know with what numbers of rooting needles do you use for your dolls I would like to know . Thank you so much 💓 💗 ❤❤

[@jtahir6755]

Same here I love watching u root the baby’s hair just love love love it thanks very much showing us such easy way to root I could never understand directionally rooting

[@Sara-hi7jj]

Do they come off? In silicone there is no glue inside, like in vinyl kits...?

[@my2pets1]

Thank you for this very informative tutorial. The result was beautiful. Great job❣️

[@Tina1-12]

Omg this was so halpful to me because I’m left handed and it was so easy to follow. Thank u so much your an amazing teacher xxxx

[@Saranita79]

He is soooooo adorable! I bought a couple already made but they are bald. I have made many reborn vinyl babies and I’m pretty good at it. Never had a problem selling them and my rooting wasn’t bad but nothing near as good as yours. I’ve never worked with a silicone baby before. Can I use the same paints on them as I would on a vinyl doll? I know they have to be in the oven to set the paint and I’m not putting my silicone baby in the oven, I think that would be a very bad idea…lol. I do have some paints like the gloss for lips that doesn’t require heat, can I use that on them? Thank you so much for your video, finally one that made sense

[@helenhart6406]

that is a beautiful baby did u make him.

[@juliancrutchley2138]

Hi good job what size needle does u use to root silicone hair in the head please

[@Rizla2016Drone]

Hyia Carolyn you have a lovely rooting job, I love watching someone else root. I was getting neckhake just watching you LOL. The hacking always gets me in the neck and lower back, I can only sit there for hour at a time with a two hour break Good job Carolyn :)

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Stephen Garner hi Stephen, thank you so much I really appreciate that - I watched you vid on rooting and you are like master rooter! X

[@Rizla2016Drone]

Thank you Carolyn :)

[@sambetta21]

your babies are fabulous they look so soft and floppy beautiful

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Thank you xx

[@amberausburn4472]

Absolutely beautiful !!! Also what kind of pen is this if you don’t mind me asking!!

[@suyung58]

Oh wow that was so amazing to watch and im so relieved to see this being accomplished using 46 crown and not fork needle cos I cant get on with a fork needle, and no complicated swirl either, only thing I need to master is rooting from the end, you make it look so easy and so fast as well, Will soon be ready to root mine, hope I can achieve as good as you showed hear.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Susan Ripley hi, I used to root with more of a complicated swirl but I find you can still brush into a lovely swirl without making life so difficult and it looks just as natural - and most mums adopting don’t brush into the swirl so much either. Just my opinion. So yes I root directionally but simplify it for myself 😊💜

[@suyung58]

@@CarolynDoughtyDollsThanks for reply, as so many youtube tutorials jut don't bother to answer so much appreciated

[@patriciathomas3855]

I finally got the nerve be to try rooting on my practice silicone head. It works!! I still have a long way to go to actually say I know what I am doing. But it is a start.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Patricia THOMAS well done!

[@tammyyoung4132]

Your video is amazing and you explain everything really well I'm thinking of rooting my silicone

[@cindyherget5196]

Mesmerizing to watch Don’t knock your skills I think you’re doing marvelous work

[@RianShafer]

Amazing work, as always. What keeps the hair in & not falling out from brushing?

[@Домашниетайны-щ9ж]

How much does such a doll cost?

[@ulyanakoloyartseva780]

hair absolutely not glued? Does the hair stick in the silicone by itself or does it need to be glued somehow?

[@alanedepaula2229]

hi beautiful do you use slacker to make it so soft?

Wow I love your videos so much how much is he ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@sandidennis3957]

Incredibly interesring and you obviously know whatcyoure talking about because ive wanted to know this forca long time. My only other comment is whats wrong with the dolls ear? It looks like a tiny chubby upside down toy hand in it?

Hi, all your work are very very great! !!😊😊👍👍

[@claudettemonty4077]

Can I rooting from any end of the mohair or is there a way to know what end to take?? And your gel pen is it special for rooting or I can find it in a specific store for office furniture??

[@kaseymusgrove8287]

Can you use real hair for rooting?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Kasey Musgrove I use mohair or Suri alpaca so it is real hair but obviously not human hair. Human hair can be used for older dolls and toddlers but it is too coarse for a baby. I’ve personally never used human hair.

[@kerynpope7689]

He is a beautiful baby boy

It’s amazing to watch you!! Thank you.

[@Mariah-nb3fg]

How much do u sell them for??

[@shirleyharris5542]

Hi I ran across your Channel and I would like to ask where do you get a needles from Amazon eBay where do you purchase the needles

[@amandamiller485]

Hi Carolyn, did you make him too? Or id you just root his hair? He is beautiful by the way, oh did you root his eyelashes too?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Amanda Miller yes I made him. And yes I usually root the lashes and sometimes brows but often just leave brows because I find most babies you can’t even see brows and nothing worse than thick dark painted or rooted brows on a baby.

[@quitecolorist8274]

Wow! I understand now why these babies are extremely expensive, all that work from beginning to end

[@brooklynkowbel8213]

Could you list materials to make one plz

[@mariannefroholdt9783]

Dont you put the hait long inside so it dont come out so easy?😉

Thanks Carolyn.💕

[@shyannedianne1962]

Do you paint first ? also where do I buy the needles and what size etc, oh and what pen/pencil do you buy to draw the lines ? thanks

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Yes I root after finishing all the painting. I use a gel pen for mapping the head xx

[@daphneshaw3881]

Done a fantastic job lv it x

[@estellajones8532]

I want to know, where toy could purchase these dolla from and who would contact? I've been scammed several times and I don't have much money cause I have blown it trying to get my daughter.

[@Cassfrow]

I’m in the uk took I would like my daughter silicone doll bought from Temu to get done hair. Can I send u the doll and the hair for u to do it’s head n lashes please?

[@dougjones6615]

how do you keep the hair from coming out after your done? is it sealed or does it seal its self? i know people will be burshing it and styling it so want the hair just keep pulling out?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

doug jones there is no way to glue hair on a silicone, Altho each hole does grip the hair to a degree to minimise hair loss. if the owner is very careful the shedding will be minimal but yes there will be a little shedding. They can be rooted if this happens.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

I meant to say, they can be re-rooted if they have shed some of their hair

[@rebeccaturpin1591]

Beautiful work

[@teresaschroepfer3695]

[@joellensmart8093]

I was wondering I've have a lot of silicone babies in my trunk for quite a while and I didn't have room for him and I think they got a little bit too hot and I think some of the makeup and stuff came off their faces how would that be repaired if anybody knows how to do that can I get any comments on that thank you

[@williamsivy]

Do you Matt the baby first?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Yes, completely finish everything before rooting.

[@sandidennis3957]

Ive just finished ypur entire video. Im so sad! Please please please go and get some basic instruction on cutting hair! I noticed you didnt spiral the hair from the beginning. Theres am important reason for making the spiral at the start of rooting. The spiral comtrols the way the hair lays, and ensures there is the right amount of hair growing in the correct direction. Even if you plan it to just comb forward. I was so impress with you and your videos. This is mot thevend but you really need some instruction regarding both marking, rooting and cuttung the hair. Also pleasecremember to use thinning shears rather than straight ✂️ scissors. The allows you to trim the hair in a segmented way rather than a block which is really unforgiving. Please take my feedback as constructive as I really think youre great and well talented,.
