Questions about setting the paint please read and help if you can.

Some of the heat guns you buy can be way too hot. And some not hot enough like a hair dryer. I am taking it your ment you've rooted her hair. Maybe a acrylic paint and use a sealer. But, your best bet is just a genesis heat gun. I have heard that some have tried to just really wet the hair down and bake it. I have not run into this. But, that would not be my choice. Expecially if you've used glue to seal the hair in the head. I am sure someone else will post also. Best of luck.

You can repaint and put your rooted head inthe oven at the recommended temp. You wont have any problems with the hair. XXXX June.

June,
I am curious...what if it's been glued in. Wouldn't the glue melt?

Thanks,
Brenda

yes I have rooted the hair and eyelases but I also have already glued magnets in it too. I'm going to try to find a heat gun with a tempature control on it her at lowes if they don't have one then I will just buy the heat gun from here. Thanks for the help

I believe the one at Hobby Lobby is about the same. Just ask someone there. And be sure it's not like a hairdryer. they're not hot enought as was already said. I believe the one Secrist sells gets to about 400 or 500 degrees F so that is why you can't hold it in one place for long. I do know that it will fry mohair on a doll head and burn you if you get the heat on your skin for long.
