How long does rooted hair stay glued?

[skullboy]

Can anyone answer. What kind of glue is used for rooted hair and how long does it last?

I don’t know the type of glue used but I give that one in your pic about a three day lifespan.

The glue used in 1/6th action figure hair will last up to 2 years if untouched and properly maintained in a non-smoke environment.


This comes straight from my ass.

Only time will tell, I guess...

But if you futz the hair often or wash it that will probably shorten the lifespan. Also humidity or really dry air will probably be another factor... I'm sure no one can tell you for sure.

It's my own Ass opinon that people who have pleather flaking issues will also have rooted hair issues.

I am not sure about either companies hair procedures , but I though "rooted" means punches into the rubber not glued.

The two are different. The glue that holds the hair is not the same as the polyurethane that coats the pleather or the flexible glue that holds the pleather to the fabric.
Rooted means glued apparently, and implanted means, well implanted I guess.

No, rooted refers to a process where it's sewn into a soft vinyl head, like fashion dolls. Implanted should refer to "punching" hair into silicon heads, like in 1/1 scale busts. Gluing is something else entirely and doesn't have a technical/marketing term yet. Probably because the customizers that have been doing it for years having been incorrectly calling their process "rooting hair"

So why are they referred to by the companies like Inart in their descriptions as rooted?
