Question about rooting thin hair
Permalink   


I'm still new to this, and the biggest problem I have is rooting the baby's hair to look thin. I need advice from all of you amazing reborn artists.

I would like to root a thin, haired baby, but they never look right. I always end up with a baby with a full head of hair. Can someone please give some tips on how to root the hair thinner without the baby looking like a hair club for men client? Thank you!

I think if you are new to reborning, it is more likely to have just there hair if you root with wavey or curly hair, with straith hair, I think it has to be more evenly rooted, so is a little more time consuming than doing it with the other two choices. JMHO. XXXXX June.

I had the same problem when I started out. I takes some patience but you can achieve a thinner hair look. I found two things that helped me. One to space out your hair a tad bit more and being careful to only catch a couple of hairs at a time when rooting. It takes time and like I said patience but you can do it =)

I found on another forum how one reborner uses a dark colored fine hairnet, puts it over the head and then ties the extra off in front of the face. Then she uses the holes in the hairnet to space where to put the needle for rooting. Her babies rooting looks really good! I might have to try this. One thing... remember to remove the hairnet when you are done hehehe

I love your avatar, too, Sage.  Looks so real!

I always have had problems with rooting too densely also.  Looking forward to seeing your baby when rooted, Kristi.

Me, too.  I would love to pick him up and hold him forever or until he cries. Then I would give him back to Jody or she can give him to Sage to be fed.  LOL.

Pat that was a terrific idea about the hair net, I will try it soon as I finish a few of my new kits. I can't put of reborning any longer, Sam knows how many I have now. LOL, He's usually on my case, when am I going to do this or when am I going to do that, I'm like Zanes two pet snakes, I'm in hibernation. LOL.. It is starting to warm a bit so No excuses. The other thing is, I have a caravan to fit out and put vinyl on the floors, curtains to make and Foam to get cut to size and make Seat covers. We are having new doors made and 2 packed, and a table and benches to put in. Luckily the outside only needs a good washing and polish. And another thing, I have to paint the outside of the house, but it's all in a days work, another LOL moment for me. XXXXXX Jun e.

I thought that idea was really pretty cool. I'm going to try it. My hair nets arent doing anything anyway. lol

June, that would be all in a "six months" for me instead of a day for me. lol

Oh Pat, I know where your coming from, today I had 12 small trees to plant and I decided to weed abit also, I almost made myself sick, doing so much. Luckily Samantha has taken over part of my project with the caravan, so I went to help her and had to get into the little tipper we have and find some screws I trow into it, well bending over looking, I nearly passed out. But I liv e to see another day. No rest for the wicked. XXXXX June.
