Alt-Haired or Just Lazy?

[Leave a Whisper]

I've decided to do a Haven Bay custom, but can't  rehair a mane worth a poo. As much as I'd love for her to have that rich, stunning, peach hair, I also think it'd make a nice contrast to keep it blue.

Would she be considered a technical alt-hair, or just a lazyish custom?

I am not sure what the more experienced pony people would say, but here is my two pence for what it's worth: first if this pony is to be yours you can do whatever you like and make her how you would prefer her to be without worrying about resale value. Or indeed any other consideration.

Second, just tell everyone that you prefer her with blue hair / always wondered what she would look like with blue hair and THIS is why she has blue hair. Don't ever admit that the real reason is because you are not so good at the rehairing thing  . This is your custom after all, so your rules.

Good luck; it would be great to see how she turns out!

Makes sense and I'll definitely be posting pictures.

Wayyyyy back before I learned to rehair, I would choose the base pony based on the hair color, so I could still have the hair I wanted! Lol.

Usually so do I, unless I can get a white haired or at least white maned pony. Sadly, the only other brushable merponies are the mane six and skystar. boo!
