Title: I just did my first rehair! (& now my 2nd!)
Post by: Prince_Sunbeam 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

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.

She looks fab, well done you!

Have you done her for yourself or is she going to somebody else?

Thanks everyone! I'm really pleased with how she came out :)

I just made her for fun, so I'll keep her for now. If someone really wanted her, I'd let her go :)

Was it difficult? I've been considering trying it, but my hands shake, so I haven't. I have done a tail (finally) and that went okay.

I wouldn't say difficult. Tedious- yes.
The most challenging part for me was getting each root strand hooked onto the tool- but it got easier.
Also I was working in dim light, which wasnt ideal but not impossible!

I am going to do my first rehair as soon as I receive the hair from dolly hair... I'm thrilled. Any advice on how to proceed?

Did you get the rehair tool? I got it with my first dollyhair order and its been super easy to figure out!
It took me until about 1/3 of the way through the first pony to feel like I was getting the hang of it, but the 2nd pony went by quick!!

I'm thinking about the needle and thread method, but I will browse around the net until O get the ponies and the hair, I guess the first one will be harder than the others, unless it's like deflocking which depends on the pony you have ^^
