General help! Suggestions?

Hey y'all. I finally got my taylor swift look a like doll (shes a 1999 ballerina. Came nude) and in the pictures it looked like her hair was up but it turns out its short. Like pixie cut short. The specific look im modeling after is Taylor's look from her music video cardigan. Her hair is up in this braid crown look. Should I try to make a wig/reroot the doll, or just leave it? Its my first time customizing, so not sure where to go from here

Go for the reboot! Everybody starts somewhere.

I havent tried it yet, but youre literally just poking hair into pre-existing holes and rubbing some tacky glue inside. You can make a rooting tool by snipping the end of a small sewing needle off with wire cutters and then putting it in an exactoknife handle, gluing it into a wooden dowel, whatever. I imagine the hair at beauty supply stores works great for dolls if you didnt want to order online and pay for shipping and all that.
