    New rooted female heads help

    I was wondering if anyone might have some ideas for new colors or styles to root or re-root on male or female heads, I have some heads on E-bay;=

    I was thinking the 12 inch heads might work, any suggestions or ideas, definitely would help especially with Christmas around the corner!

    Thanks Dave

      Holy crap! Those are beautiful!

      You've been a busy little bee, haven't you?

      I'm going to wait a while before putting any bids in, just to see how much activity there is for them.

      Then I'll bid, and hopefully get them for a good price.

        JediJaida you have any ideas for new styles or colors, or if the 12 inch heads would be a good idea?

          Megome, you have some of the best colors and reroots I've seen. I've bought a few from you over the years and I'm bidding on some of the ones you have up there.
          I like the fact that you have done bangs with some. Good call.
          Multi color punk type cuts ala Blondie and Joan Jett would be my suggestion. Men with long hair ala Beatles or KISS would be ideal in some cases.
          I'm not sure if you've seen some of the custom Blythe dolls on ebay. They have great colors and hair styles. But bangs are great.
          I'm sure some folks might not like that since there aren't many superheros, that I'm aware of, that have bangs or cuts like that. But it's best to expand your stable of styles.
          Some of the curls you do are great. How about tight curls?
          Well keep up the good work and can't wait to see what you have to offer next. Oh and redheads are plus for me. Love them redheads.

              Next time you're rooting heads try to use a couple of different sculpts in stead of just Dynah Mite

                  The thing is Dynah Mite's sculpt looks too dolly like for villains, Dorothy and Daisy Duke would look better

                    Reroot the Kelli Bundy CTVT head in a few colors and I'd be there.

                      The Kelly Bundy head is too large for the body, just like all of the other CTVT heads.

                      Hmmmm, new colors. How about mixing colors? Like black with white streaks? Or any color combo? Like ice blue with cobalt, or hunter green with lime green?

                      Spiderrogue rerooted two of Doc's heads for me, one in a straightforward shade of red, and the other is a combination of purple and black that is very striking.

                      Just one teeeensy little thing. I looked inside one of the heads I won from you before, and there was quite a lot of glue up inside the head. Didja ever think of maybe singing the ends a smidge? There's a tool that is used to seal thread ends in bead embroidery. I'll look it up and let you know what it is.

                        Hmmmm, yeah you're right about that

                        It's on the inside of the head, you don't see it, so does it really matter?

                          I suppose not.

                          Anyway, I found the name of the tool I was looking for.

                          It's called The Perfect End Thread Burner, and it's used mostly in beadwork. There's no reason to believe that it won't work on sealing the artificial hair.

                            I have tryed a lot of different methods to secure the hair inside. But each have there own down falls, and Prefect Ends make's a big mess and some times the hair will just come undone and just slip out after your finshed which is very frustrating. thanks anyways.
