i want hair like these clips i used to see at hot topic...
http://www.wholesalehalloweencostumes.com/accessories-makeup/makeup-hair-color/clip-in-hair-ice-blue-glow-PW705X.html
anyone have any ideas where i could find the hair? I'm actually looking for enough to re-root a blythe doll but the pony customizers seem even more well-versed in hair suppliers than blythe collectors, so thought i'd drop by and ask :lol:
Edit:
the other option i was thinking was buying a glow in the dark wig and then dyeing it and using the hair to rehair my blythe... has anyone tried dyeing glow in the dark hair?
-
I've never seen blue glow hair on any of the hair suppliers for mlp hair... you may have to just buy those hair extensions and use that hair for it if you really want glow hair... in fact finding ANY glow in the dark hair through the mlp hair suppliers is nearly impossible, everyone wants glow in the dark hair, but very few people have any.
-
ugh- yeah i'm trying to avoid the hair extensions- for a blythe head i would need like... 100. hahah. yuck.
i was thinking there were some other sellers besides restoredoll, dollyhair, or mylittlecustoms that people know of... hmmm
-
the only one I know of that has glow in the dark hair for sure that I visit is retrodollus, and hers is white glow in the dark polypropylene,.. so you wouldn't even be able to dye it.
-
Depends on what the wig is made of whether or not you could dye it. Alot of synthetic hair won't dye at all.

hmmm... good to know. i've seen anime tutorials about permanent marker/alcohol dye methods or also acrylic ones but I cant' seem to find a lot of information about staining, etc...

nope, from what I've read polypropylene does not take dye because it is not porous... nylon hair takes dye but it might depend on the quality of nylon to, I've never dyed hair myself so I am not totally sure of all the circumstances

it will lose it's glow if you dye it. i tried it with the brilliant green glowing blonde ("white") stuff from dollyhair and it wouldn't glow at all. thankfully i also learned that red rit dye is not permanent on ponies.
-
That is too bad that the hair doesn't glow after being dyed- I suppose that makes sense given the limited colors that glow in the dark hair is usually produced in (usually blue, pink and green)
-
I've dyed DH GITD hair before and it still glowed after just fine for me. Still glows even, years later.

Same here! Took the dye really well too!

Okay so that's two who have dyed the glowing dollyhair with success and one who has not? I guess it doesn't matter as she has been out of stock for quite some time...
I checked out hair extensions as a possibility- they all seem to be really expensive and include a very small small amount of hair...

I dyed a Moondreamer doll's hair once purple using rit dye- and it actually didn't glow at all after being dyed. I wonder what kind of doll hair Hasbro used on the Moondreamers in 86?
I actually found this manufacturer that appears to sell various colors of glow in the dark doll hair- but it appears to be a commercial site. I wonder if Retrodolls or Dollyhair could order from them? I bet colored doll hair would sell like hotcakes...http://www.asahi-kasei.co.jp/sarannet/en/app_dollhair.html (http://www.asahi-kasei.co.jp/sarannet/en/app_dollhair.html)
After actually reading the site- I think I know why some hair glows and some does not- I think it depends on how dark the hair is? Looks like the darker the colors- the less that light is able to be reflected:

That could be it. I dyed it a pastel pink with blue tips so it was rather light. And yes AK, it did take the dye well.
-
I dyed the Moondreamer hair (which I have to assume is nylon based on the texture and feel and the fact that they were made by Hasbro at the same time as the ponies) dark purple- so no wonder it didn't work.

Oh wow that site actually has blue glow hair! I hope someone starts carrying it.

I've been eyeing their site for awhile- we're looking into it ;)

Yay! I hope you can figure out how to get it- it seems like it would be very popular- I would definitely want a bunch! :D

i rehaired zecora in ice blue glow. i couldn't figure out the neck plug so it's tail is a monster high orange glowing "laser" (cat tail) with a blue glow in the dark wall star on the end.
my rehaired zecora took two clips of the ice blue glow, and would have taken one more, but i used a halloween wig (glow white) for the rest. since the site sends 4 clips (2 per package) then one order will rehair the mane and probably tail of a G4. the hair does not glow green, it glows ice blue like an "indiglo" watch so it looks great on things that glow green like zecora or a glow and show. it is bright enough to be mixed with a pony's mane and be quite noticeable, especially a light blue mane in order to reflect its light. not as bright as dollyhair's nylon green glow, but brighter than a Moondreamer by FAR, and brighter than a halloween glow in the dark wig.

I once had light green/yellowish GITD hair and I know where to find other colors, thing is, they will all glow the same yellow/green color.
I tried my best to get small quantities of GITD hair that would glow blue but with no success :(

I bought this glow in the dark wig on ebay-

It came recently- it is decent quality for what I paid, but what glows is the white streaks- the pink glows only very very faintly. I suspect it was dyed-
