TIP: Avoid scalp splits by rerooting with multiple smaller plugs of hair in one hole rather than using a bigger needle with a large plug of hair. Important NoteTo minimize the risk of scalp splits when rooting close holes at the hairline and part line, it's advisable to root the hair with the needle prongs perpendicular to the row of holes. For professional use by adults only. Not intended for children under 14 years of age.NOT A TOY. For professional artistic use only. Keep away from children

• Step 1: Begin by removing the doll’s hair. Cut the hair as short as possible and then remove the head. Use narrow pliers or tweezers to pull out the plugs through the neck hole. Once you have a bald doll, paint the head with acrylic paint, using a color that matches the hair to be rooted. Let the paint dry completely
• Step 2: With the regular needle inserted into the tool, poke into the pre-existing holes in the doll's head. Preparing the holes this way makes rerooting a lot easier
• Step 3: Separate a small section of hair from the larger hank and hold it between your fingers. You will want to hold it between your fingers like this: Your index finger and your middle finger will grasp the top part of the hair, while your ring finger and thumb will grasp the bottom part of the hair. For us, this is the easiest way.Still holding the hair between your fingers, bring the hair toward the doll's head, and hold it a few millimeters away from the hole that you intend to root. We recommend starting with the outer holes first and then working towards the center
• Step 4: Using a rerooting needle with the long prong facing toward the hair (important-see note below), "grab" a small section of hair between the prongs, and drag the small section toward the hole that you intend to root
• Step 5: Push the hair into the hole, and push the needle all the way into the head, until the tool touches the doll's head
• Step 6: Gently pull the needle out, and voila! You've just rooted your first plug of hair. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the whole head is rooted
• Step 7: When your reroot is finished, secure the hair in place with some glue. Squirt a glob of glue into the head, and swab it around with a cotton swab to ensure that all of the hair inside the head has been covered and allow it to dry for 24 hours
