Fashion Doll Hair - To Root Or Reroot - What is the Difference?

You have plans to create your own anime character and you have just received the brand new Obitsu doll in the mail.
The problem is it has no hair.
But your character is not bald! So, how do you get the look that you want? Or maybe the head HAS hair but the hair is the wrong color.
How do you get it the right color? In either case you would want to have the dolls hair rooted or re-rooted.
This can be accomplished in one of two ways: 1) Teach yourself how to do it.
Or...
2) Find a professional who can do it for you.
Either way you will need to know if you are looking to have your dolls head "rooted" or "re-rooted".
Rooting a Head If your dolls head is bald to begin with, (as smooth as a baby's bottom) with no hole at all, you will want to "root" the head.
Which means you will be establishing its unique style from the very beginning.
You can put the holes where you want them and create any look that you desire with hardly any problems.
The down side is that if your dolls head is hard, (meaning: not squishy), it can be a pain to get the holes in place to root the hair.
Another problem is that if your dolls head is soft you may be tempted to place the holes too close together which can rip the scalp and ruin the head.
Both these problems can be over come with practice.
Re-Rooting A Head If your dolls head already has hair, or has had hair, you will be looking to have the head "re-rooted".
The holes already define a specific style that can be quite hard to change unless you know what you are doing.
But, it is simple enough to change or replace hair if the holes are already there.
On the plus side you can fill in or "root" bald spots if the hair is too sparse.
But, you must be careful not to place them too close together.
On the downside the holes may look like they will require more hair then is really needed and you might rip the scalp by making the plugs too thick.
Once again, these problems can be easily overcome with practice.
Getting Help With Your Doll Hair If you are afraid to do the doll hair re-rooting yourself, or you don't have the time to learn how to root doll hair, you can do a search and find the services you are looking for from a professional.
You can confidently discuss the services you will require because now you know the difference between "rooting" and "re-rooting" a fashion dolls head of hair.
