It's a regular sewing needle with the tip cut (using heavy wire cutting pliers) at an angle, to create a sort of fork-looking punch needle. Just buy a variety of cheap needles with different sizes of eyes, then cut the eyes at an angle, so you have a lot of different sized needles; experiment to see what works best. .
I want to make a small doll that has punched-in hair, I’m wondering what kind of silicone you used for this and if it comes in a liquid form (or any type of form that can be molded)? Since my doll is small I want to use a silicone that I can be poured or pressed into a mold of the head first, then punch hair in after it cures, would you have any suggestions?
You tend to use this method for hair punching into prosthetic pieces rather than for wigs. However you can make a prosthetic hair line, use this method and then blend it into the wig hair. www.jesslloydcreations.wix.com/specialeffects have a look on my website I have created a prosthetic forehead on there.

Best to make it with sawing needles at loop hole.. where thread go.
Cut with wire cutter or scissor at thread hole.. make it look like from that.
To the point ..awesome thanks
Why when I pull the hair out easily after implanting it in silicone, what is the solution?
can you use this method to make a wig for everyday wear? what type of material do you use for the wig?

Is there a graph of the directions normal human head hairs fall in each area of the head?
