rehairing a nirvana. what to do
« on: June 05, 2017, 10:04:02 PM »
hi guys, i need advice.
i have a mexican blue belle, love this girl and my other mexi's, she came to me in poor condition a while back and decided to give her white hair, now i want it purple, the reason i love my blue belle girls is i love her colour combo.

anyways i have with me old HK G1 purple tails x2, the colour that typical lemon drop hair is. i know its not the proper match for mexican bb as she seems to have a lot lighter mauve, maybe faded i dont know. should i rehair with proper  hair thats came with a real g1 or try and match it as good as i can with hair from dollyhair.com?
also does any one know the colour from dolly hair that would match this girl. she is the flat foot mexi

what would you do?  :biggrin:
please and thank you guys

This is a bit tricky! Nirvana pony hair is often unique to each country in colour and texture.

I don't have Mexican Bluebelle so I can't help with a colour match, I hope someone else can ^.^

Personally I'd rehaired her with vintage pony hair, the texture will be less new and so match her better if she's a little loved looking. I sometimes find new nylon stands out on a vintage pony as it's a little too new and shiny :)

At the end of the day you should do what will make you happy ^.^

thanks hun ;) , it is a bit tricky to know what to do. the colour of g1 purple is way of, the texture is too, its much softer and curved to, mexi seems to have dead straight hair and almost like straw.
i still haven't fully rehaired her, she has a tail and one strand  :yikes:

The Mexican hair does have a unique texture and colour. It does condition and straighten nicely :)

I'm not sure what to suggest :huh:
