Individually rooted mohair — the most lifelike hair on any reborn doll
What is rooted hair on a reborn doll?
Rooted hair means individual strands of mohair or synthetic fibre are inserted one at a time into tiny holes in the vinyl scalp using a fine needle. This gives the doll's hair natural density, realistic growth direction and a texture so soft it is indistinguishable from real baby hair. Rooted hair can be gently brushed, damp-styled and even washed.
The difference between a painted-hair reborn and a rooted-hair reborn is immediately apparent — rooted hair lifts, moves, and catches light like real hair. Our rooted hair collection features dolls with 10–40 hours of individual hair work, from short newborn cuts in fine mohair to longer baby styles with natural wave. Each strand is anchored in the vinyl scalp and glued internally — it will not come loose with gentle handling.
Premium natural mohair, rooted strand by strand to achieve newborn hair density and softness.
Hair arrives professionally styled — blow-dried flat or with gentle wave — and can be restyled at home.
Use a soft baby brush to style. Mohair responds beautifully to gentle brushing without tangling.
From ultra-short newborn crops to longer infant styles — rooted hair dolls available in every length.
A fully rooted reborn doll at premium level represents over 40 hours of individual strand insertion. This is the single most time-intensive part of the reborn art — and the detail that most dramatically elevates realism.
Correctly rooted and glue-sealed mohair lasts decades without shedding if treated gently. Many reborn collectors with 10-year-old dolls report the hair is as full and beautiful as when purchased.
Because rooted hair can be gently styled, collectors personalise their doll's look — adding tiny ribbons, pinning hair back, or allowing it to curl naturally. No two rooted-hair dolls look identical in a collector's home.
How do I care for rooted hair on a reborn doll?
Use a soft bristle baby brush or wide-tooth comb. For tangled hair, mist lightly with water or a diluted conditioner spray and comb gently from the ends up. Never use heat styling tools on mohair rooting.
Will the rooted hair fall out?
No — correctly rooted and sealed mohair is permanently anchored in the vinyl scalp. With gentle handling, rooted hair lasts for decades. Avoid pulling or combing roughly, and never submerge a rooted doll in water unless it is also a silicone model.
Can I wash rooted hair on a vinyl reborn doll?
Spot-cleaning the hair with a damp cloth and baby shampoo is safe. Do not fully submerge a vinyl reborn doll in water — the cloth body will absorb water and can develop mould. Silicone dolls with rooted hair can be bathed fully.
