Tex's bed-head - Halp!

This Tex... xD

His hair was messy when I got him and this is my second attempt at taming his wild mane.

And that was AFTER leaving his hair wrapped up in a napkin scrap while it dried. xD  I just can't with with this guy.

I did the same thing for Masky today and she came out perfect.

ROFL poor Tex! That is a serious cowlick.

[Baby Sugarberry]

Oh dear, poor Tex! *chuckles*
Have you tried soaking his forelock in really really hot water before wrapping it?  That's how most people do their permanent styling.  You can get away with just regular water (sometimes even dry) when the factory set is still pretty much there, but some ponies need more help.

I just used warm water.  I'm kind of afraid to use the boiling water method because I want him to keep at least some of his factory set.

I'd dip just that forelock, it doesn't look anything like how it should right now.
If boiling water concerns you, boil some in a kettle and pour it in a cup, let stand a little bit, then dip and wrap it along side his face, the way BB's were packaged.  If that still doesn't tame the unruly forelock you can always step things up to hotter water.

Oh, sweet! o: Thanks!

Boiling water or hot tap water should do the trick! Good luck!

I just wet the hair and wrap it around the neck with my hand and lay the pony on its side so the head is holding the hair down and let it dry overnight. In the morning I pick the pony up and comb out the mane and it stays down nicely.

I'm going to agree with using hotter water.

[hathorcat]

I ll agree hot water on just his forelock should sort you out...

He does look a touch startled! I had a Bluebelle with hair like this once no matter what I did I couldnt tame her at all!

[Shaiyeh]

Shouldn't the hair be on the other side of his neck? try putting it the other way, with really hot water, and tissue wrapped around it while it dries. and let it dry for at least 24h.

[Baby Sugarberry]

It's hard to tell... stripe should be on top though, I believe.

[kittybethy]

He almost looks like a male uni!

[Baby Sugarberry]

Let us know how it works out. n_n 
Who will win, evil bed-head hair, or heat set stylin?
