4.0 out of 5 stars Rooting ... no longer a "hair raising" event, October 10, 2008

This review is from: Realistic Hair for Reborn Dolls & Kits: Hand Rooting Techniques Excellence in Reborn Artistry Series (Perfect Paperback)

I am a new reborner and have been eagerly gathering all the information and instruction material that I can. Rooting the doll's hair has been difficult for me. My first doll was lucky to get hair in her head; never mind trying to do the perfect swirl or get that perfect baby look. I decided for my next doll, I wanted a detailed manual that I could refer to over and over. I have purchased DVDs and belong to forums that provide me with good rooting ideas and techniques but feel that with Jeannine's book, I have the information right at my finger tips and I can take it where ever I am working on the doll. She does not get into much detail about the perfect swirl, which is fine by me because she provides other options that look just as wonderful and for the beginner, are easily achieved. The pictures are great help, too. I definitely believe that this is a must for the beginner.

I've got to say I'm a little disappointed in this book. There are many pictures of dolls already rooted, but not much practical help for the beginner rooter - such as what length to cut the hair to and how do you hold onto that darn slippery stuff while rooting. Still, I've gotten enough information to make the book worthwhile to me. There's no getting around it - rooting is a slow process, but worth the effort in the end.
