Vintage Tuesday Taylor Doll Restoration - How to Reroot using Loop Method - OOAK Custom Makeover 

You could heat the vinyl scalp and keep it heated throughout the rerooting process to keep the vinyl softer and more flexible, which might save wear and tear on your hands. Also, I would suggest getting a thimble. I had a Tuesday Taylor as a kid and the hair went really frizzy. I felt the scalp rotating gimmick didn't quite work, but it was still interesting.

I’m a vintage Barbie collector, and never realized how cute Tuesday is! I think I need one now. You did an amazing job! She’s stunning with the red hair!

So glad you used an old doll i love this doll and have a few that have been re rooted .. such a fab 70s doll.

The whipping hair edit is super funny! 😂 this doll is super cute

“Wuchaaa” lol i love the hair so much .. redhead is my favorite color and now on my favorite doll 😍😍 that dress is giving too

As a vintage Barbie collector, I got a Tuesday in a vinyl house full of dolls... I am in love with her. I have boughten several more. Thanks for the video, I had no idea how to get her scalp off. I got one at the doll shop in the "free" box, because he hair was cut all up. I am going to try to re-root her... but I don't think I have your patiences! I am going to use a re-root tool and new saran hair. But the video was great! FYI, you can fix frizzy hair with some fabric softener, Aveda mens conditioner and boiling water... it takes days of work and letting her set with her head packed with fabric softener and conditioner, but the end result looks like a new doll.

🥰 Awesome job..Cute doll,never seen 1 like this. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent ! the hair of this Barbie is beautiful 👍🏼

INCREDIBLE JOB BRO!!!!!!!!!! that reroot AND you made the fashion too? WOW!!!! IT IS SO GORGEOUS AND FLAWLESS!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY 😅A Reroot tutorial for rerooting 90’s Barbies 🩷🩷🩷🩷

She turned out beautiful!

She turned out beautifully. I love the fashion you made for her and her new hair is great.

Gorgeous ❤ ! Had ❤ had these dolls as a kid . The big one I still have . Definitely going to be on the hunt for a smaller one to reroot .

She is gorgeous!! I have loved Tuesday all my life. I still have my original one my mom bought me when I was very young. I'm 57 now. but bought a second hand one and gave her red hair. I'm also a Dusty doll lover. The Cher doll and the bionic woman doll also have shoes to fit Tuesday Taylor. I just found your channel. Definitely subscribing!!!

Smashing. And the outfit you designed is amazing. Heading to your Etsy now

Your Tuesday Taylor reroot came out pretty well

I never saw your TLC Tuesday Taylor before you re-rooted her... LOL her hair!!!! 😅 It looks too funny, like a mad scientist character whom I forgot the name of! She looks amazing as a redhead! (Cousin It!! LOL) Genius idea to use authentic vintage Ideal doll hair!!!! And I LOVE the idea that you still kept to Tuesday's switch-able two tone hair by using Crissy and Cinnamon's different shades. Great re-root tutorial! (Though I would never have the patience to do it! 😜) Your loops inside the head are so neat!!!! Great tip on how to cut the hair using the masking tape. I love when you swish that hair to camera! 'KerCHUHHHH' LOL And I'm SO gonna buy that dress for my Tuesday Taylors (or actually, maybe Taylor Jones will get to wear it! 😁)

Nice hair Ginger Reen!

Wow 🤩 you’ve both have same hair color

PS She looks Great..love Tuesday with Red Hair!

Yes...rerooting is a VERY LENGTHY project and it's quite difficult, so yes...I understand. I feel you have to REALLY, REALLY love a doll to go thru all this process, but....the results are ALWAYS FASCINATING!!!!!

Extraordinary Work, congrats!

Hi your hair colour is awesome, wow that really suits you. Respect

Great job! Very meticulous. Brings back great memories. I absolutely loved the TT Penthouse.

Hi! Wow!! Great job!!! Love it!!!

She is beautiful ! Your rerooting looks factory perfect.

Beautiful!! You did a great job of explaining! I have a Tuesday to reroot and now I’m looking forward to it!!

I love your redhead hair. ❤ good job at rerooting.

🧡She looks absolutely SMASHING, Dean! Well done! Love the hair colors so much! 🧡

I like to use a ventilation hook handle (used for wig making) with a sewing needle inserted backwards and the eye cut at an angle. The handle is designed to hold tiny metal hooks, so it holds needles really well. They're also pretty inexpensive and you can get them on amazon. It could save you a lot of time in the future, I'll usually be able to get a re-root done in a couple of hours (which beats the hell out of 2 days).

I loved it! Totally Hair TT... You made a great, awesome first reroot. I used to make this method but without thread. That floral print dress is lovely. Ah, your new look is cool!💜

This is so awesome! I just got my first Tuesday Taylor kind of by luck after watching your last video about her and keeping my eye out for one. I need to reroot mine and haven’t found any good information about it, until now. You’re amazing, as always. Thank you!

Wow👍👍👍👍

I love her she is so beautiful

It came out absolutely gorgeous! Rip to your fringers I know they were hurting after but at least it was worth it😭❤️❤️❤️

I use those old Ideal dolls for the hair all the time. If you get ones that have a great cond ponytail you can reroot so many dolls and that old hair they used is so amazing !

I had the Tuesday Taylor that tanned when I was little

She looks beautiful Deany! Great work! With this hair color she looks like another Ideal doll, Jodi! Love the dress you made too! 💗

I just finished re-rooting a few Barbie dolls that I bought at the local thrift store. I turned Western Barbie from blonde to brunette 👩🏻because her hair was cut really short and she looks better as a brunette and I used stick on eyelashes to fill the gap above the eyes. I also re-rooted a Heart Family mom that had most of her hair cut off (I have two other Heart Family moms with normal hair, one with the original pink and white dress with original white open toe shoes ), so I turned her into a redhead 👩🏻‍🦰.

I never realized how pretty Tuesday's face actually is! When I get one I will definitely reroot her and use this as a guide! Great video :)

Great first try at rerooting. I loved that loop-locking technique. For removing extra hair, I use medical forceps that lock. It makes removing all the bits a breeze. And to help you poor, sore fingers, I use a push pin to widen the hole. It shrinks back to place after a while. That's especially helpful for Bratz reroots since their headz are much denser! Try some more! I'm looking forward to it!!!! And I love that you scalped a Crissy doll! Made me laugh! All for beauty, right? :)

Que linda! Está boneca ficou perfeita

Lovely reroot, she looks amazing~! I'd recommend to next time use a thimble, your fingers will thank you for it, lol!

Cute

First of all, beautiful job! Clever to use Chrissy hair, as that’s what would’ve been used on her if she were a red head no doubt. Secondly the outfit is chefs kiss. It’s beautifully fitted and accurate in fabric texture and design to what would’ve been available for Tuesday. Also I used to reroot like you did. It was painful and the sores on your fingers… I still have ptsd from it lol I got a rerooting tool and I have to say I love it. It’s made it more enjoyable and o still do get a little bit of rawness from doing the loop and lock method. But nothing as extreme as doing it by needle. I love watching your videos my sweet friend!! I watch them while I work on my dolls

You can boil the bald scalp to shrink the holes before you reroot to make the hold even tighter and use less hair to fill up the holes, and theres a product called "Loctite Vinyl Fusion" that you can use to seal the split part holes and have it still be flexible! I personally use the knot technique for vintage dolls and the punch-tool technique for newer dolls with glue, both of which are a lot faster than the lock and loop but also arguably a little lazier and messy haha. Great job!!

i really do appreciate this video. i now feel like there is hope for my Tuesday Taylor doll. i hate rerooting, but i think it will be easier for this doll because you can take the scalp off. Your Totally Hair Tuesday is fabulous, and that dress is perfect! She makes me think of autumn and cinnamon by the fireside in 1974.

The hair whip transition is ahah.

On the side with the scalp showing it might be the side of the bangs , so if you give her a fringe the scalp issue will be hidden under it… I am no expert in rerooting but yours looks very professionally done ✅ I liked the double reveal 😂 you snatched both hers and the viewer’s wigs with the color reveal! I see you getting off the limo Lohan… 👀🤣🤣🤣🤣

The red hair and the length tube such a hippie vibe

@deenreen I know it has been a year since you posted this and probably by now you may be aware, but there is a special tool made just for rerooting dolls that makes life a lot easier. I love what you did with this one, she looks amazing! I have rerooted a couple of Barbies and with the rerooting tool, it was a breeze. :)

You’re so talented bro!!! I wish I can do that to my dolls too 😭

I love your fashion. Tuesday does have a pretty face mould. Your reroot looks good. The length of hair gives her a real 70s vibe and I never knew how weird that turning scalp was or that it was the only part that was rooted. Sad that modern dolls seem to have less innovations compared to the vintage ones.

Love her as a red head but, I cringed when you took two great dolls and , used their ponytails. I would love to find a crochet hook small enough to fit the hair plugs. This would be a hand saver. I am looking to re-root a Thumbelina doll and, a 1950s fashion type doll. Looking for better quality doll hair for this. Thank you for showing how TT skull cap comes off. Nice work ❤️🤗

How cute is he....r hair i mean her hair!! Yea....

👍👍 получилось очень красиво

you did well though

I wish I lived in a universe where Tiffany and Tuesday dethroned Barbie. She is superior her eyes, the hair gimmick, her town home. It was so perfect 😢

Not bad for your first reroot! Will you be restoring the Crissy and Cinnamon dolls?

She looks so cool and what did u do to chrissy and cinnamon

From Auburn Brown to Ginger Orange

Hi Dean. Hope you're okay. Miss seeing your videos and you! Maybe we'll see you soon.

I love the dress do you still have one ????

Do you think the same method will work to take off Jam n glam barbies head?

Could her hair be boil washed? I just got the rotating hair suntan Tuesday Taylor and I would love to keep her original hair!

There are doll rerooting tools available (not expensive at all). They will save your fingers and hands, plus speed up the process. For a little bit more money ($500 to $2000+), you can buy the industrial version, which is similar to a custom sewing machine. They do about 1000 hairs a minute. 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_AsaUmhQ8kU.html as an example

i have a rerooted STT doll. it's weird to see her with silky hair that lays down.

Don't you and Tuesday look good in Crissy auburn hair! You know if you decide to do that again in a different color, or colors on another Tuesday Taylor. If you're not needing it to be the locked method you used. You can use a tag gun you can get easily and cheaply online. What's really nice about this method is that you don't even have to remove the scalp. You simply use an already knotted piece of hair, you load the tag gun, and just stick the needle in the hole and pull the trigger. Done and no pain on your poor fingers. There are videos on YT showing exactly how to do it. It works well, it's fast and because of the knot on the end, and how tight Tuesday's pre-punched rooting holes are. So it should hold well as long as you don't pull too hard on the hair while combing or brushing. I actually have a Tuesday doll that looks like the before version and now I'm very tempted to make my own with that pretty color and long length. I would simply do the Crissy color all over, but the combo of the two is so perfect because that's how the doll was designed, so one side is very different from the other. You do great work.💮

omg counting the strands are you kidding me no no no no no!!!!!!!

I wish I had counted the strands before rerooting my doll, I used too much hair for the plugs and her hair is so thick but I can barely do anything with it. When watching rerooting videos they never tell you that. Well lesson learned I guess

Não gostei porque ainda ficou mostrando a calvície dela

Люба барби 😀😀🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

well. I don't have to watch since you showed finished doll in thumbnail.

She turned out beautifully. I love the fashion you made for her and her new hair is great.
