I know myself too well to even try the knot method. I haven't started my first reroot but I did just order the hair. I do know I'll definitely use the reroot tool and glue.
Another slightly dumb question just to quadruple check.Nylon is the one that is softer and doesn't have that weird oily texture, right?

I do know I'll definitely use the reroot tool and glue. I use the reroot tool and glue as well. I'm not patient enough to use the knot method. It also sounds quite complicated, though it's probably because I haven't tried it.
For my Pirate, I used the knot method combined with the reroot tool. I didn't need to add glue, but I did anyway because she had a section where the rubber had torn a little.Basically, It works almost exactly the same as the Tool method. Instead of just draping the plug over your index finger, you tie the plug in a loose knot. Before pulling it tight so the knot closes, leave it open enough to slip your index finger into it. Make sure the ends are nice and even so one side isn't longer than the other, then scoop it up on the tool's needle as normal. I generally put the index finger of the hand holding the tool over the needle so the hair doesn't slip off, and pull the knot tight so the hair is now tied around the needle.Then press the hair to the tool using the index finger or thumb of the same hand holding the tool, and stick it in the head. Pull the tool out again and give the plug a tiny, gentle tug. Just till the knot hits the rubber, and move on to the next one. Over the next few minutes, the rubber will relax back into the tight hole, and the plug will be secure.
Everyones re-roots are so gorgeous!
