Hand-rooting is the best way to bring your doll to life. But it can be difficult and incredibly time consuming. Many well-meaning amateurs start rooting their babies only to become bored or frustrated and give up!
Instead of being frustrated with rooting your baby the next best thing is to use a wig. By using a wig your adorable darling will still be finished and ready to display! Using a wig is especially recommended for older baby dolls since the quantity of mohair required for rooting intimidates even a professional reborner. Wigs can even be curled using sponged rollers and misting with water (leave over night).
