Hair Color Issues...See Pics.....

Miss Reborner · Senior Member

The rooting looks pretty good. I agree that the hair color is not the best, though. Your baby (in my opinion) would look better with dark hair. Rooting does take forever, doesn't it? I thought I would never be done!!!! If it's good mohair, keep it as you rip it out, and you might be able to reuse it on another doll. Sorry about the dissapointment and wasted time (not really wasted, though, it's good practice). Your baby's adorable, though, even with the 'wrong' hair color.

I like his hair the way it is. The brows match perfectly IMO. i wouldnt change him. He's just so darn cute!

I think he looks adorable just the way he is too. His eybrows do match perfect. I think maybe you will feel different once he is complete and you give him a nice baby hair cut. If you still want a different color once your done I think someone left a post in this section somewhere on how to color the hair with regular haircolor after the baby is rooted.

Thanks!

I email pics of him to my sister and she told me I could not change him because this is the way he is...he was born this way

LOL....just like a real baby you don't know what you get until they are born....

He is growing on me...

Thank you so much for your opinions! They are much appreciated...

My next "Trey Baby" will have brown hair

Way to go, MsSunny!!! As long as you're happy with him, that's all that matters. I'm sure he'll look much better when he's all dressed up, too. He's a cutie in blond hair, I think it's probably just my own thing, I personally like dark haired babies better than blond ones. Also, I think part of the reason is that we're both used to seeing the 'Trey' prototype in dark hair. But he's a total little darling, and enjoy him. And remember, never sell him, it's an absolute must to keep your first.

I should have done him with dark hair...but now I know...I think you are absolutely right that it is from seeing his prototype with dark hair...I fell in love with his prototype....

I just bought some light brown mohair for my next doll....

I think I am going to have to sell him in order to be able to afford more babies...We will see when he is done....I probably won't be able to sell him! I have already purchased clothes and all kinds of goodies for him.

I hope when I am done I can afford to keep him...

Plus I absolutely love the idea of donating babies...there are 2 nursing homes within a block of my house...I would love to be able to make lots of babies for the patients there...

THANKS!!

I yhink if your not happy now with the colour of his hair it wont grow on you and as I may have posted somewhere else, you can use permanentant hair dye as I have done with my avator baby Hannah AS Jack. June M from Oz Sorry folks.

I've only seen a very few blond headed dolls that looked natural. I suspect it is just hard to get the quality of mohair in that color. I've only rooted my dolls with colors ranging from very light brown to black. I did buy straight mohair from Secrist and even though it is called light brown, it turned out to have a nice natural red tint to it!

Hi, I've rooted a few babies with the blonde hair and I thought the baby just looked so blah! I think it's hard to get a really good color that looks natural. So, I prefer to use the browns. It's really IMPORTANT to get quality mohair. I put all the time, money and energy into the baby and it pays to do everthing well. Hope you can get some good mohair and have a beautiful baby!
