I just did my first rehair! (& now my 2nd!)
« on: September 13, 2016, 06:31:39 PM »
It only took me about 3 hours start to finish, which Im pretty proud of. I think she came out really good for a first try. I think I could have done the plugs a little thicker, but it was hard to be sure. 
I haven't done her hair style yet, just a starter cut on the mane (which is also damp in the pic). I'd love to hear some input or any tips from those more experienced.

I also intend to reglitter her in a darker shade of blue to match the new hair color.


**EDIT**
My 2nd rehair :P

Nice! ^.^
Wasn't Majesty supposed to have like darker colors and / or different features? Seems like I read that somewhere on here!

She looks great you did a good job on her. I used the floss method the first time I started rehairing. Now its so much easier with a re-rooting tool.

Thanks everyone! The color choice working so well was really more of a coincidence. I had a few ponies I prepped for rehair, and bought Dollyhair for those, but that blue was just calling to me so I bought it not knowing who Id use it for. Then I got a baity Majesty and it was meant to be!

I feel like this is how Majesty should have been made. This rehair makes me want her, it's just so freaking gorgeous.

love the colors and it did come out very nice!
sometimes I can add 2 or 3 plugs worth of hair to each plug. just make sure to do it 1 at a time (I use the Tool Method)
but each pony can be a bit different - some g1s are thinner and you shouldn't put too much in

Thanks!  :biggrin:
I do think the colors are pretty perfect

lol I had tried putting in 2 plugs in 1 go (with the tool) and had to give up an re-separate them. Typically the way the dollyhair splits is just a standard plug right? That's what I was going with, the seemingly similar little separate groupings that naturally occurred.

I also noticed something that seemed very strange to me. The entire row on one side (opposite the gold stripe) had VERY few root holes, about 1/2-1/3 as many as what it should have? Is this a Majesty thing? I dont have another one to compare with. I ended up more than doubling the holes on that row of her mane with a larger needle.

Oooh, I really like the dark blue re-glitter to match her mane. Killer job!
