Do you style your ponies hair?

[zombienixon]

So, last night I got a Build a Bear Fluttershy, and I was messing around with the hair to get it detangled so I could get it to look nice.  About two hours later, I gave up and just made the best of what I had.  This reminded me of how time consuming (and frustrating) it can be to style a pony's hair. 

So I was wondering, do any of you try to style your brushables to get them to look right, or do you leave them as-is?

As for myself, I like to have mine looking something like they do in the show, and I don't really like the huge "mane longer than the body" look most of them have out of the box, so I'll try and style it.  I have to say it is pretty rewarding when it's all done and you've got a pony looking close to show-accurate, almost worth all of the fiddling around with hairpins, bits of drinking straw and rubber bands. And I have to say, I do a lot better at it than I thought I would.

I guess "look right" is different for me as I don't care about show accuracy.   As long as pony hair feels soft and doesn't have stray hairs all over the place, I think it looks right.  I do fix their hair if it looks messy and that's about it.

I do try to style all my pony's hair When I first got my main six, I styled them to be show accurate as well, so I cut AJ,  Rainbow and Twilight's hair, as well as the CMC. Since then though, I don't mind show accuracy as much - I just like them to look pretty. So for the most part, most of my ponies get a simple condition and their mane and tail curled around their legs (or neck, for the short-haired G1s).

I give everyone except for those with original curl left curly hair! Always try my best to also make it as shiny and pretty as possible.

I like toys to have original factory hair - so however Hasbro intented them to be styled will be how they are styled here, even if for many thats a straight out brush

I like to style them with hot water so their hair is straight but I'd never cut their hair, at least not anymore. I cut the hair of quite a few of my original G4s and now I'm in the process of replacing them all  so never again!

I normally do.  If their hair is sitting in decent curls out of the package I'll try to preserve that (my Silver Song came straight out of the box with gorgeous perfect ringlets!).  Otherwise I'll wash the hair in hot water to try to straighten it out a bit, and then condition and get it to lie smooth.

I do! G1's are usually styled like they were originally packaged, though if they have longer hair i will throw in curls or flip it up at the tips a little. It's actually really crucial to me that my ponies have their hair looking as nice as possible.

With later gens, i take a lot more artistic liberties. ESPECIALLY with g4's, i try to give them each their own unique hair style since their poses are so lacking. It adds character, makes them all look less like recolors of the same pose to me.

I really like to style them as they are in the show, and I style them for all my friends. I find it fun to figure out how to get it just right. I know that means they aren't very resell-able, but I really like displaying them like the characters.

Same as Elish...I curling hair! I'm just in the process of re-setting the curly ringlets of Candy Apple and the loopy swirls of G1 Heat Throb!

I would have thought there would be people who wold want a pre-styled pony.  I know I would. Then again, for some, like Sunset Shimmer, that would be hard to do for mass production.

Nightmare Night Rainbowdash and Zecora came prestyled. It was kind of nice, but it left me wanting a bit more style accuracy. I imagine if they released others styled, it wouldn't be quite right.

No. Their hair is fine just the way the are
And even if I do style it they're mostly plats/braids, ponytails or buns :/
