it goes to show that you don't have to buy some just for restoring pony hair.
@SunPony : Thank you ! @stjarne : Here's my method of straightening pony hair :- Wash your pony as usual, under warm water. I use shampoo for their hair, but that's just my thing. It's just nylon after all.- Comb the hair thoroughly whilst foamy and wet. Work your way from the tips all the way to the plugs. Don't leave knots. (Optionally use conditionner)- Keep the hair wet and foamy from the shampoo and get a hair-straightener on the lowest setting.- Pick the smallest strand of hair possible (I go roughly for about half a plug worth of hair, but the smaller the better) and pass it through the straightener. Make multiple passes if needed, but be careful not to melt the hair, you should be keeping the straightener moving.- Repeat for every hair. Keep the hair wet ! Adjust the temperature of the straightener if need be, but of course be careful no to melt the hair.- When done, rince the hair thoroughly to remove the products, then style how you like.^ This is the method I used for my ponies. It is advised to use conditioner or fabric softener in the place of shampoo for the unfrizzing, but it goes to show that you don't have to buy some just for restoring pony hair.
I guess the whole thing is odd in a way, so anything goes! I love all of it. I just heard that my swap partner got her ponies so that's very satisfying. Looking at the ones she sent me. Cleaning ponies, customs, chatting, matching up accessories. I guess oddly satisfying is popping off a stubborn head and removing a rusty tail washer. Finding out that a brown spot is just a speck of something and not pony cancer. Or once, I bought a Glory that i thought had a tail cut, then I found out that the tail was somehow just bunched up inside the pony and once I had freed the head and freed the tail, she was quite a nice pony. I guess always satisfying when a pony turns out better than you'd think. I just thought of something else: matching G3 ponies with LPS:visitors can't see pics , please register or login
have you found fabric softener to make much a difference from regular conditioner? i think i'll have to try a few different techniques to find what really works for my ponies
i have my own LPS/pony picture as well! jolly lolly with a teensy penguin i got a similar sense of satisfaction seeing the two together lolvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
One of my friends got his first G3 at a flea market the other day, and I was reminded of the pure, simple joy of discovering what the hoof magnet can stick to. He didn't even know that's what it was until I pointed out he was displaying the pony on top of a CRT and it might cause some mechanical problems. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginHe sent me this photo in pure awe.
