Oh Diana, these videos are SO MUCH FUN to watch!!!! Thank you BUNCHES for making them and sharing them with us "Doll People" =D

[@DollPlanetHair]

Thank you! 😘 I'm hoping I will get faster/better at editing because I have a lot that I want to do!

[@rioboy13]

You're VERY welcome! Looking forward to next videos hun!

[@artwithflinn5050]

I love your site, just one little issue I had with this tutorial. As I was squeezing the head to distribute the glue the part split. I could have cried. I might omit that from the video.

[@briandbarbie339]

THANK YOU so much this video saved my doll her hair kept falling out after I glued it and I think it bc I put to much glue and it didn’t Dry all the way so thanks again

[@2girls1controller]

What would you suggest if you have too much hair inside the head before you glue? Cutting some out? Using heat to push it down?

[@shiabrooks4407]

How much hair do you need to reroot a Barbie doll I chose 1oz is that enough? Btw I have been binging your vids so cool thank you !

[@barbielatsofficialpage850]

Hi!! Wondering if I can seal my dolls hair with super glue?

[@AngelIcestormSapphire981411721]

Diana, I love the Doll Planet store they have such amazing different color hair that u can choose and hair rooting kit to boot. I got a question, for the coffee straw does it matter what size/brand u use for this process?

[@DollPlanetHair]

Thank you! ❤ We work really hard to make our store customer friendly. The brand shouldn't matter, I use the coffee straws because of the size. You want to be able to move it around in the head.

[@AngelIcestormSapphire981411721]

@@DollPlanetHair Thanks, I really appreciate it. I can't wait to buy doll hair from your store Esty is a really good place to buy from online.

[@karriemae5222]

😭😭😭 just finished my first rerouting. Hair looks great but as I was doing this I must have accidentally applied too much glue and it's coming out the holes all over anyway to fix this or is it too late?

[@avahaines3803]

Is it ok if I use super glue or school glue??

[@nekoboygames7786]

Can I use hobby glue?

[@MultiSillybandz]

I always add to much glue and it makes the doll top heavy how do I ad less?

[@annieo5138]

Hi, you said that glue is water based. So could I use Elmer's school glue in place of the Galaxy glue? Thx!

[@DollPlanetHair]

Elmer's glue isnt strong enough, many of our customers have tried it and it doesnt work/ doesn't dry.

[@littlebottleofink]

Fabri-Tac is good too - you can get it at Walmart. I haven't used their Galaxy glue yet, but I do want to try it and see what the difference is. I'll probably end up liking it better like I have all their products.

[@littlebottleofink]

I'm wondering how you prevent having hair come out of the head when you're using your straw and your q-tip. I've had hair come out when I've tried that.

[@SETHGAZ]

Excellent question! I've never experienced this myself, but I think the issue might be caused by 1 or 2 things. When you move the glue around do so in side motions. Don't just push straight in; this might be why the plugs are just pushing right out. I'm thinking a 2nd reason could be your plugs themselves. Make sure not to just push a loop in, but instead make an X on the finger with the way the hair circles around your finger. Then scoop your plug up with your needle, then pull the loop that is created until it makes a nice tight little knot This method creates a tiny little knot that will help the plug stay in place.

[@DollPlanetHair]

I still deal with hair trying to come out with the q-tip as well. It doesnt seem to stick to the straw as much so I lean towards using it more. Pushing the hair inwards before putting in glue seems to help also. :)

[@DanielleRianna]

Would I be able to boil wash the hair after using this glue or would using heated tools be a better idea?

[@DollPlanetHair]

Definitely! I myself am horrible at boil washes & perms so stick to heat tools 😅

[@bcinct8052]

Why would the glue not get ruined by the hot water?

[@eddiesam8539]

@@DollPlanetHair Can I use water on the hair after putting in the glue?

[@h_stefany88]

@@eddiesam8539 I always use hot water after the glue is completely dry and nothing bad happened. But I use a different kind of glue (silicon), I don't know if this matters...I'm very horrible using heated tools xD

[@avasdollhouse3088]

How many drops do you think is the perfect amount?

[@xxleojltgxx6311]

3-5 drops is what I usually do

[@taduh7923]

Is this glue waterproof once it's dried?

[@xxleojltgxx6311]

Yup

[@k.c.9650]

Fabric glue is waterproof, but school glue (Elmer's) is only water resistant at best.

[@xmegzorx]

What if I use too much glue on accident and it hasn't dried in 2 days?....

[@DollPlanetHair]

You could maybe try a hair dryer? Or try to swab some out with a Q-tip?

[@xmegzorx]

@@DollPlanetHair I'm trying haha. The more I try to swab the more hair comes out. Hair dryer isn't working I've had it blowing for 30 min and still tacky. I might have to call this a fail and put it up on a shelf and re visit the issue when I'm not so mad! Haha

[@DollPlanetHair]

@@xmegzorx it is best to work on projects when you aren't frustrated, I've definitely ruined stuff in the past when I'm out of patience 😅 I'm sorry I can't be of more help in this area!

[@xmegzorx]

@@DollPlanetHair no dont be sorry! Thanks for replying so quickly! I just hate to waste hair that I got from you!

[@Dandhisdolls]

I know this comment is kinda old but...did you ever fix this? I'm in the same situation with an animators doll. Big head, I put too much glue that isn't drying and I can't go on with the project till it's all dry

[@riverrunsdeep72]

Do you think I could use wood glue for this?

[@DollPlanetHair]

Wood glue only bonds to wood.

[@ellatwilight9416]

Can I use glue gun

[@DollPlanetHair]

I've never tried. That might cause the head to get hot and difficult to hold. I have never heard of anyone using a glue gun to seal hair, that's all I know.

[@ellatwilight9416]

@@DollPlanetHair I tried it, it worked
