Here’s a Monster High head that I rerooted and added bangs to:

loginThe big difference with doll heads (and especially bangs) is that you want to create a kind of “perimeter” around the hairline. You want even, closely spaced plugs so that it looks neat and realistic. Once you’ve removed the hair from a few heads, you can study the factory rooting pattern, and alter it as needed. For bangs, I make a second “perimeter” row in front (so two parallel rows of neat, evenly spaced plugs), then comb one row forward and set it with hot water. The rows have to be very close together though, so that the parting looks natural.
You’ll probably have to punch new holes if you’re adding bangs or want to change the hairline (like to add a widow’s peak). Make sure to use a small enough needle for a 6” doll’s head, as you need to be careful of rips in the vinyl! Don’t worry, it’s not that difficult.
Also, make sure you flatten it all down with boiling water before attempting to cut anything!
Good luck, and have fun! ^_^
