Anyone ever dye a reborns hair??

Post by LINDASLITTLEBLESSINGS »

I am having my portrait baby rooted and the hair turned out to be lighter then I wanted. I wondered if it is possible to dye it maybe carefully using a toothbrush. Has anyone tried this??

The vinyl would take in the dye. I would not do it. You could likely root in some darker with the lighter.

All I know is that depending on the kind of hair used would depend on the type of dye to use.

I seem to recall someone doing it sometime over the years, but it did not go well. As Monica said it will stain the vinyl so I would not do it personally.

hair dye is not used to dye mohair. they use something called acid dye. I dont know if I would do that on the vinyl as I heard it is harsh.

Yes, already on the doll is what you might want to ask her about. See if she has any ideas for you.
