Our custom-made doll rerooting needles are designed specifically for both professional doll customizers and hobbyists who demand precision, reliability, and ease of use. Our rerooting needles are crafted with care to ensure smooth and effortless insertion into your doll's head, allowing you to reroot with confidence. Each rerooting needle features two sharp prongs that not only make it easier to push through the scalp but also significantly reduce the risk of scalp splits, a common issue faced while rerooting.

Our high-quality rerooting needles are ideal for all types of doll customization, whether you're working with Barbie dolls, Monster High, Blythe, or any other type of doll. The carefully sharpened prongs ensure smooth penetration of the needle without causing damage to your doll's head, making your rerooting process quicker and more effective. 

Key Features:

  • Custom-made pronged needles: Each needle is uniquely designed for optimal performance and durability.
  • Dual sharpened prongs: Both prongs are sharpened to allow easy insertion and minimize scalp damage.
  • Versatile for all dolls: Perfect for Barbie dolls, Monster High, Integirty Toys, Blythe dolls, and many other popular doll types.
  • Reduces scalp splitting: Sharpened prongs help to reduce the risk of scalp splits, keeping your doll’s head intact during rerooting.

Needle Size Guide

Needle Size Suggested Doll
4 Very large dolls with thicker heads, 28" and above such as My Size Barbie. For rooting locs, curls and braids
5, 6 LOL OMG, Rainbow High, dolls 14" and above.  For rooting locs, curls and braids
7 My Little Pony, Silkstone Barbies, Monster High, Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty, Gene, Tonner, and similar dolls with firm heads
8 Regular size Barbie dolls, and similar dolls with soft heads
9, 10 For very fine rerooting such as hairlines or eyelashes. Can also be used on Reborn Dolls

These are our suggested rerooting needle sizes for most common dolls. The smaller the rerooting needle, the more likely it can bend or break, while the larger the needle, the higher the risk of splitting the doll's scalp. The goal is to use the smallest size rerooting needle that's appropriate for your project and if it breaks once in a while, then that's ok. But if your needle is breaking too often, then you may want to consider going with a larger size.

Needle Usage and Care

  • Use smaller plugs of hair while rerooting. Too much hair can cause the needle to bend or break.
  • 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.
  • Avoid needle breakage by keeping the length of the needle around 1/2 inch.
  • If the needle keeps slipping in the reroot tool, try wiping the needle and collet with rubbing alcohol or acetone to remove any residual grease or oil that may cause it to slip
