I have a baby that I just don't like the color of the blonde hair now that it is in can it be removed and redone without showing?

Redueing hair on reborn
by: Sherri Keller'Woo

I did this with that poorly reborned doll; China KiKi Woo that is on this site. I cut all the hair off & shaved it & sanded head a bit & put a wig & rooted around the wigs long strands of hair & less area to root around & needles went thru old glue just fine. I had washed inside of head with boiling water & there were a few ruff spots, but it worked fine. It was dark hair on an Asian baby. You can still comb it & every thing & really looked very nice.

You can redo it. It's a big job. First you would need to remove all the hair. Depending on the type of sealant used inside the head you could try heating it to soften the glue. If the holes from the rooting needle used are large you may find yourself with holes showing later. This can be helped somewhat by dipping the head in boiling water. ( sounds terrible I know LOL). I'd suggest using a darker color mohair and rooting more thickly and that should cover everything up fairly well.
