Rerooting of a previous reerooted Tjorven doll

Original hair, but her braids have been cutted off

Reeroted and with long curly hair. I remember how satisfied I was, when finished this reerooting.

But the curls started to fall out, and the hairends started to split, a lot. The hair started to loose colour and got very ugly.

 The only thing to do was to start a new reerooting. Cut off all the beautiful orange hair.

Started to snip off the the hair. 

This time I wanted to give a total new colour, and I have also changed into a new brand for delivery of hair.

And somehow I always get back to the red colour, and they come in so many different red.

Long beautiful red hair. I just love it.

I also decided to root the hair a little bit tighter than the doll factory had done.

Almost a shame to bring her in the hairdressers chair.

Tried to curl the hair a liittle more.

Beautiful as always all of my Tjorven dolls.

I have also given her a dress that I have knitted.

Pusle reerooted.

I just had to reeroot this Pusle doll. 

Cut off her hair and go on. There are too much of the blond Pusle dolls.  

Bald and hairless.

I wanted to make me a brunette. This is during the prosess.

 Way too much hair.

At the hair dresser. The hair is combed, but still too much.

Have to give her a real hair cut, and curl the hair once more.

And  a little bit of lipstick.

Another Tjorven ready to be shown off

This little girl was so happy when she was finished at  the hairdresser.

The hair was very thin, cutted and frizzled.

Tjorven decided that she wanted to go for the colour white. And I agreed. Her skin is vibrant,and it would suit her well.

Here I am finished rooting her hair. It is a bit too much, right? But it was a lovely colour for her.

Next step is cutting the hair. And this is in the hairdressers chair. Looks a little bit uncomfortable, but Tjorven can`t wait to show her self off afterwards.

Finished and first show off.

After this I had to start up the sewing machine, and make her a new dress.

 

She also wanted a hairbow, so I made one for her.

The pictures below are adjusted for to make more delicate colours.

 Have a great day. 

I am going back to my sewing machine for to make more doll clothes. I got tons of fabric waiting for me.

Horsman doll Pippi Longstocking

This little doll really deserves new hair. I have seen theese dolls once and then, but never really liked her.
But when I got hold of this little one, I thoght "What the heck". I just had to help her a little bit. As you can see the hair is really messy, and worn out.

I had some deep carrot red hair laying. So it was just to start up. And along the way of sewing new hair on, I kind of started to like her more and more.

Here I am finished rooting the hair. But it is still way too long for her.

So she went off to the hairdresser. Looks like she is very satisfied with the outcome. On the picture below, is the real colour of the hair. I took a lot of pictures with and without blitz, it was difficult to get the right colour of the hair. On the pictures above, the colour is too light.

Tjorven #9 reerooting of her hair.

This Tjorven started as a redhead with braids. She goes under the name of Pippi Longstocking. The hair was short all over,except for the braids. Someone once cutted off the braids. The red colour suits her well.

But when you turn her around you can see a big bold spot, which is impossible to hide. 

So I decided to reeroot her. I took out all her old hair. You can see the plugholes behind her ears are tighter than the others. That is where her braids were located.

I decided to give her another colour than she had before. I chose Auburn for her new colour.

Here I am finished rooting the hair. 

Then she had to go to the hairdresser for to cut the lenght of  the hair.

Finished cutting the hair. The cutting went well. But she does not have real divided bangs sewn from the fabric. I used the old plugholes. So the hair won`t stay in place at the front.

This is from the back. I have also sewn on som extra hairplugs on the bold spot. From the back the hair is looking well.

At last I found the right way on the "Tjorven curls". It looks like Tjorvens ordinary curling.

But when you turn her around: This is from the front. The bangs won`t stay in place. I have used some hairspray.... but I am not still satisfied. Now I wonder if I am going to cut the hair short all over, except from where the braids were located. I haven`t decided to do it yet, but I have to think of it for a while.

The first picture is before the hairspray were added.

The next two pictures are after the hairspray. Maybe I have to try to curl the hair first, for to see how the new curls will be located. or maybe I have to make her divided bangs and put in some more hair plugs.
