Time to rescue the Struwwelpony!
« on: January 08, 2016, 09:47:45 AM »
Well, I've been putting it off since November but the time finally came to deal with the tangled mess that was Fizzy's hair. I cleaned her body immediately when she arrived because she was covered in what looked like a whole garden but the hair was something else entirely. She was one of those "evilbay listing with one blurry, tiny photo and no info about condition" jobs, so this is what I ended up having to deal with...

Clearly she'd been taking styling tips from Cousin It!

After a wash and a de-tangle...

But what about the final result?! Well...

Spoiler
Ta-da! One tidy pony! I slightly flubbed it with wrapping her hair to dry, hence the little wave, but at least she's not a complete mess anymore!

Now I know there are considerably worse hair nightmares out there but as a beginner, this little venture certainly helped to boost my pony-tidying confidence. :D

Aww, the little wave adds character. I remember how amazed I was at my own prowess with a comb the first time I seriously detangled some bad pony hair. :)
