My kids, like most people's kids, are constantly being asked to pick up their things. And probably like most people's kids, they usually fail to do it.

So that it is that poor Lickety came to be in this predicament! The playroom door got left open while I ran the Roomba. Usually, the Roomba, named 'Mrs. Doubtfire', usually can't completely jump the transition strip between the kitchen and the playroom. However, my son apparently left his Basic Fun Lickety Split close enough to the strip that when Mrs. Doubtfire went in for her viscous attack, she succeeded in sucking up Lickety's forelock and some of her mane.

I'm going to try to pick through this mess of lint all twirled up with pony hair. However, should it not be salvageable, does anyone know of a hair color that would match her? Her hair is lighter (a 'whiter' pink) than her vintage counterpart, and not even the same as other Basic Fun ponies that have 'fading pink'. I compared her to Fizzy's pink and Lickety's is lighter and more matte.

Untangling this rat's nest was not how I hoped to spend my afternoon, but seeing as no one else is gonna do it... Any help is appreciated!

It's hard to see if there's damage from the picture, but I would think that a gentle wash with something like soap or mild shampoo and then a careful comb through should help. It depends if the hair fibres are actually damaged, and because BF ponies aren't quite the same as old ponies, I'm not 100%, but it doesn't look unsalvageable.

I just realized what a bad picture it is...it looked better on my phone before I ran it through the 3rd party site I use. I'll try to get a better one in the morning when I have better light. It's just very twisted up in the front, and there's black/gray lint all twisted up with it. It got caught in the cleaner's brush pretty badly.
