Anyone Do Hair ReRooting?

[Mefiboschet]

Just did an ebay search for re-rooting on ebay and by chance found one of the seellers that ripped me off some years ago:

Custom Mego Wizard Of Oz Dorothy Doll ~Meow~by Victoria - eBay (item 290200016004 end time Jan-27-08 07:59:53 PST)

She took the money for the custom job, then didn't respond to my emails anymore nor send anything.
Beware!

I think Brian Leitner reroots hair as well

I contacted Brian and he says he doesn't do it as a service.

Mef,

That's awful that somebody runs a scam like that. Thanks for the heads up on that person.

ealdrett,

I'm not surprised the Brian doesn't reroot anymore for people. It's pretty time consuming and difficult to put a price tag on if one wanted to do it for someone else. I'd offer to help you out myself, but I don't enough spare time now to do some things I should be doing. LOL!!! I think you'll do just fine rerooting on your own. Don't be afraid to mess up; any mistakes can always be undone and the plugs removed. I think you'll find that you'll pick it up quite easily.

Please let us know how things worked out.

This is a different approach, but how about making a wig?? I ran across this site awhile back but haven't had the motivation to tackle this. Although, in theory, it seems like this would be easier than re-rooting a whole head!

No dice. I did this on my daughter's Blythe Doll and although she likes it, she preferred to have it rooted in pink hair.
The cost to re-root a Blythe Doll is astronomical compared to a Mego head.

Thanks for the info.

Here are pics of a head I recently finished for a custom.

Uh, wow, Del, that is cool. Very nice job! Love the bangs.

PM sent.

Bravo, del.

Bangs can sometimes be tricky. Nice work! *applause*

Is that head/body 8" scale or 12" scale?? Just curious.

Del, that's wonderful! Great job!

[Bizarro Amy]

The bangs were easier than you think. There's a little secret I'll show you sometime, if you want.
The body is a straight-armed(aka Daisy Duke) Mego body, and a Lil Miss Dollikin head. I love using them for customs.

Bravo, del.

^ Thanks for the info, del. I can't wait to see the finished figure.
