So, I'm re rooting a Barbie head and it's going very well. I just want to know how best to actually anchor the hair into the head. I didn't do the knotting method because it proved difficult with the hair I have-making a mess of the hair. So, while we all historically hate glue in the head, I think I need to go that route and I was wondering what glue would be best to use?

http://www.dollyhair.com/reroottutorial.htm"The first thing that I always do after I finish my reroots with the reroot tool is that I put some Fabri-Tac glue inside Barbie's head and swab it around with a Q-tip. Dollyhair sells Fabri-Tac glue on the "reroot tool" page, so go ahead and buy some if you want to. It's the best glue in the world, in my opinion. It remains soft when it's dry, kind of like rubber, and once it's dry, water cannot affect it. That's an important thing, because synthetic hair needs to be styled with water."
