So I finally got an RD yesterday. And I want to style her hair but I don't want to cut it. So ponies, what do you think I could do with her hair wise? What sort of non cutting involved hairdo would make her 20% cooler?

I am a simply soul when it comes to hair styling - I like pony hair the way it was supposed to be - straight and perfect or gorgeous natural factory curl.

I have seen so many amazing styling dos on G4s recently so I cant wait to see the suggestions.

This person also has tutorials for everyone else except Applejack so far. They're really great, I've used them multiple times myself.

(Note it DOES involve cutting, although if you're trying to actually get it to look like she does in the show, this is your best bet.)

If you don't want to cut her hair, you could try tying her mane into a knot/ponytail at the back, secure it with a bobbypin or hair clamp, and use the ends of the mane as her forelock.

I've tried this on a G3 (see pic below), but you probably can do this on G4s as well.

Over on an image board I saw someone post a Scootaloo styled without any cutting. Rainbow Dash is kind of similar in style, fringe-wise (aka bangs in America). I think they did something similar to Cadence with tying things back.

Hmm I quite like that.
Thanks for the show accurate tutorial, I'll keep that in mind if I get another RD to play around with.

I give all my loose G4 ponies dreadlocks then style them up weird, because dreadlocks are cool! lol
I don't know why but I can't stand G4 hair. Maybe because it's all one boring length and often comes dry and messy so I have to wash the factory style out and can never restyle nicely without cutting, and I won't cut even for show accuracy... I love G1-G3 hair but G4 just annoys me, I'm weird... I use the twist braid method for the dreads.

Here's a pic of 3 of my brushables. I also make their backcards into little 3D display stands.

Be sure to post pics of your RD's new mane!
