Felting needles are brittle, and are therefore easily broken. To reduce breakages use the needle in a straight in, straight out motion. The needle is best not bent, wiggled or put under a lot of pressure. As a general rule if the needle will not enter a surface with ease do not force it. Possibly change the gauge needle you are using to a finer needle / higher gauge. There are lots of helpful videos online with useful techniques on reborn hair rooting. Packaged in a reuseable tube.
Care needs to be taken when using these needles as they are sharp, children under 16 should be supervised when using them.
