Rooting over Matte Varnish?

Post by Rebecca Katie »

Okay ladies I need your expertise! There is a bald baby I am interested in getting, but I would want to root hair. I've only rooted over a varnish once and it cracked horribly. Is it possible to root on a baby that was sealed with genesis matte varnish (or any other genesis varnish)?

I almost hate to say since you’ve had one crack but I’ve never had that problem. I’ve rooted several heads that were varnished. I don’t put my matte varnish on super thick though. I do it lightly.
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!
Cheers, Erin

I use satin varnish and have never had a problem.

Thank you for your responses! There must have been some issue with the baby that cracked, maybe the varnish was too thick. I'll give it a go then!

Do you normally root and then use matte varnish? How does that work?

I always varnish before I root. I've never had one crack.
