I saw a reroot tutorial apparantly by someone 'knowledgeable' and 'experienced' that made me go 'wtf o.O' all she did was talk and drop the head like a thousand times wihout really doing anything to it >.<. I would make one but seriously, I cannot explain things worth fuzz and though I have my own developed techniques, I never seem to go about a reroot the same way twice x_x and I'll try this or that. plus not many people wanna put in the time for the knot method
main pointers I guess for hardcap CaMs:
Pull out the hard cap by whatever means at your disposal.
dehair a wig and cut it half horizontally
Use half of it to cut a peice of plastic to fit in the hole (leave the lip, it acts as an anchor)
Use uncut peices of hair to sew it in (er, the longer the better in other words).
secure the ends by back stitching a few spaces and cut off any excess as far in as your snips reach.
Do this until you've sewed the entire perimeter of the scalp in place.
that's the basics. Once the scalp is in, you can root.
if you're going to paint the scalp, paint the transplant scalp separately and sew in once sealed and dried.
My method is based on this.
http://www.wideeyedgirls.com/rerootinstruction.html Overtime, it's nearly completely different, but this is a good starting point.
Also, I draw harlines in pencil and get your hairline plugs as close together as possible without splitting the plastic.
And for pete's sake, don't assume just because they have large heads, you need huge plugs. You don't. Lots of plugs about the thickness of your needle is much better than super thick plugs. Tuney attest to the fact that thicker isn't better
Of course, you can always just hire me and pay me in dolls
