Re-Styled My First G4 Ponies!
« on: March 11, 2012, 04:54:11 PM »
About a week ago I went out and bought myself the Mane 6 (minus Twilight). It really bothered me how the packaging messed up their hair (not to mention that Hasbro could've put a little more effort into styling them), so I began looking up online how to properly re-style pony hair. I say properly because back in the day I used to cut, comb, etc but I had no idea what I was doing and the last thing I wanted to do was to mess these little beauties up  :lol:
I'm really, really happy with how they came out and to be honest I want to show them off a bit  :P

I started off with Fluttershy because I figured she would be the easiest to do and I was right. I barely had to do anything except wet her hair, part it, style it with my fingers and let it dry.

The second pony I did was Rarity, don't ask me why but it just happened that way haha I re-did her hair twice, the first time came out good but I tried a different method the second time and liked how it came out better. I ended up styling her facing the wrong side though so her cutie mark is MIA  >_<

Next was Pinkie. After I got the hang of straw curls with Rarity I figured Pinkie would be good to do next. I re-did her hair twice as well, the first time the top of her hair didn't come out right but second time it seems to be too much. Honestly I might re-do it again.

After Pinkie came Applejack. I wanted to do her before Rainbow Dash because RD is my favorite and took forever to find so I wanted to have at least one pony under my belt with cut bangs before I touched her. I'm really happy with how AJ came out though, the bangs and everything. It annoyed me that she didn't have a hat, so I took it upon myself to make her a custom one out of clay  ^.^

And last, Rainbow Dash  :biggrin:  I'm relieved that I didn't mess her up and I'm actually happy with how she looks seeing as I cut the most length off her mane than any of the others. For both her and AJ's bangs I used a little trick so their bangs wouldn't stick up after I cut them by putting on the visor that came with my RD to press it down flat to their foreheads, it worked really well.

Idk, I'm just really excited with how they turned out and I'm hoping to get my hands on some more ponies so I can play around with their hair as well  :happy:
I hope I posted this in the right place >.<

I soaked her hair under hot water and parted it, I cut a little bit of length off of the side that's a little higher and then I straw curled both sides. The shorter side I did more straight across but the longer side I angled up a little.
If you're unsure how to do straw curls, this is what I used to help me  ^.^ :

I didn't do it exactly how they did, I kind of used bits and pieces and made up the rest, plus it took me a few tries  :lol:

They look perfect!  I love them!  I would love to style mine now, but I'm kinda scared to, since mine are the 'canterlot' set with tinsel.  O.o
