35th Anniversary Pony hair type help?
« on: January 27, 2018, 09:07:45 PM »
My GF and I now have all 6 of these and are re-styling their hair tonight. These little ladies really are beautiful, we are very happy with them.

I want to put together an exhaustive comparative review but I'm having trouble with the new ponies' hair.  What IS it?  It doesn't feel like Nylon.  When it's wet, it kind of "crunches", and it has a generally drier feel to it.  The colors don't map to any of the Nylon hair colors I have (all from Dollyhair, and I have just about every non-natural color they make).

Can someone who has more experience with Saran, acetate, etc. tell me what this stuff is, or suggest a way to "test" it somehow?

Also, when I do have a review put together, would Pony Corral be the right place to post it?

I have a pretty decent camera, some daylight-equivalent photography lamps, a ton of Dollyhair nylon, and original G1 versions of nearly all these girls, so I'm gonna give it my best.

Bump to see if anyone can identify these girls' hair?

Bump again? Acetate? Saran? Anyone?

I'm pretty sure it's nylon that isn't as high quality as the originals.  Or bare minimum, I can tell you it is not acetate or saran.

!!! Thank you!

It has such a weird crunchy "fake" feel to it, I don't care for it at all, but it LOOKS just fine.
