 Doll Hair - Pictured above is the specialty mohair actually rooted in Secrist soft vinyl.
Making these specialty colors is difficult and too often mohair manufacturers create colors that are not true to life. That means these true-to-life colors are a little more expensive than our basic colors of black and light blond, but they are worth it! You will love being able to offer your babies in chestnut blonde, carrot, light brown, and dark brown.

 You spend hours hand rooting the hair but can ruin it in only seconds. Cheap scissors can damage your reborn baby's lovely hair. Poorly made scissor blades can tear the ends of the hair making your reborn baby's hair look frayed and terrible. Our professionally made styling scissors are the ideal answer to this problem. They have a high grade steel cutting edge designed to prevent pulling, tearing or fraying the hair as you cut it. These scissors will cut better and stay sharper longer than craft scissors. These scissors are also the ideal size for reborn babies. Poor scissors can ruin all of your hard rooting work. Don't take the risk.
Scissor style and color may vary.

 Rooting hair is one of the most effective ways for creating a very life-like baby. When done well it looks just like the baby grew the hair with each little follicle poking through her gentle skin. This art form is called micro rooting. Effective micro rooting requires a high quality needle that will grab only a few hairs at a time. The needle must be very strong and very fine in order to do this. These needles are the best out there and are a very fine 38 gauge construction perfect for high quality micro rooting. They come in sets of 10 per container.

 The E-Z-Lasher is the tool that Pat developed for use in his factory when his people got tired of using tweezers and toothpicks to coax the eyelashes into the right place. It can make a real mess when one end of the eyelash, with the glue already on it, pops out off the eyelid and gets glue all over the eye and you too. The E-Z-Lasher grips the eyelash and shapes it to fit the curve of the eye so that you can install the eyelash in one easy step. Once you get the knack for using this tool you'll be putting eyelashes on in just one step. It only takes seconds with the E-Z-Lasher. E-Z Lasher comes in black or red. Sorry, no color selection available.

 Great micro-rooting requires just the right tool. There are many tools out there but the mushroom handle of our pin-vise is one of the most comfortable and ergonomic designs available. The design spreads the pressure out evenly over the palm of the hand to help prevent excessive hand fatigue when rooting a full head of hair.
Our pin-vise does not use cheap rubber bands to hold the needles in place but instead actually uses a metal chuck just like an electric hand drill uses. This design will hold the needle better and longer with out wobbling around. If you are going to micro-root then you will want a durable, comfortable, and long lasting tool like the mushroom pin-vise.
Rooting needles do not need to be cut when using this model mushroom handle pin-vise.

 You can't buy this in the store because it is for industrial use. We are now authorized to sell it to you.
Most reborners have a problem at one time or another with eyelashes falling off. It's embarrassing to have your customer contact you about the eyelashes stuck under the nose or in some other odd place. Secrist has a reputation for eyelashes that virtually never come off. We have kept it a secret for years but now we are releasing it to reborn and newborning artists. We use a very special glue not available in stores. This glue is industrial strength super glue so it dries instantly and, if applied properly, holds unbelievably well.
It only takes a few drops to do the job so this little bottle will let you do many, many reborned babies. Imagine the money you will save on two-way shipping to recover, repair, and return babies with eyelash problems. It could easily cost you $10 to $15 in round trip shipping fees for each incident not to mention loosing the trust of your customer. If you eliminate even two eyelash problems, by using this glue, then you will have paid for this little bottle of miracle glue.
