Re-Pinking Hair

[Shenanigans]

Just curious on how you re-pink hair and if it's difficult. My Little Flitter and Rosedust have almost white hair! But I'm afraid of messing the ponies up    Is it very hard to re-pink?

[CrystalCrown]

What I do is heat up a small bowl of water for a minute and a half in the microwave, and mix in half a teaspoon of pink rit dye to it (the color is Petal Pink). and then i just dip the pony's hair in it for a few seconds then wash out any of the remaining dye

It's quite easy, actually! Just get about 6 - 8 oz glass of warm water and add Rit dye (I use Petal Pink) a few drops at a time until it looks light pink. Then dip the hair in as close to the water as possible (the dye will travel up the hair a little bit so don't worry about the roots too much), swish it around and then take the pony out and rinse a little with cold water. If it's not as pink as you'd like you can continue to drop little amounts into the water until it reaches your ideal colour.
Don't worry too much if the hair looks too bright when it's wet, it should dry just fine.
My Mex baby Quackers was repinked but when it dried and looked very natural!

Wow that answered my question about the roots, thanks! Where do you buy that stuff to re-pink?

[hathorcat]

I always have meant to try re-pinking but am just not confident enough to give it a try for fear of damage! But everyones ponies always look so fantastic!

Michael's sells RIT dye. 

[SailorEarth]

You can get Rit dye at any Wal-Mart. You can also find it at Hobby Lobby and use a 40% off coupon on it.

[PandaBerryInSpace]

Oh, wow, I didn't even know that was possible. I always thought you'd just have to reroot it.

[RedheadedBeauty]

Thank you both so much for telling me where to buy it!

[Shenanigans]

Thanks, everyone! It sounds easy enough What if I get the dye on the body, will it wash off?

In order for the dye to actually stick to the body it has to be very, very hot. If you're just using hot water from your sink it shouldn't affect the pony at all. ^_^ Just keep the dye away from her body to be safe!

[Varkolak]

wow i'll have to try this, i had no idea it was done with dye

[Rhini]

I think I'll pick some up and try this, even my grocery store sells this dye

[Sokkis]

Well, I've used boiling hot water and crimson red watercolor. And it has worked pretty well!
