Her hair? :huh:

Okay, so it makes a big difference doesn't it? And it works.

I'm using my iPhone, autocorrect is evil.

That's only with the styling spray, with just water it fluffs back up again when it's completely dry.

I wish I was talented enough to do this to my shining armour!  Looks fab! Xx
You should give rerooting a bash sherbertlegs, its easier than you think! ;-)

I am intrigued to see what is in fact underneath the troll hair, is it glued in or does it come away quite cleanly?  And did you just root straight into the groove? Any WiP pics?  A million questions arghhh sorry!! haha xx

Oh he looks much better :) Troll hair is yuck and I will never understand why Hasbro refuses to give boy ponies the long hair G1 boys managed to carry off with handsomeness!
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

no WIP pics sorry i was like  "heck yeah i totaly have to do this without stopping OMG go!!!!"

- there is a grove there the  troll hair sits in, i think some one posted a tered with  pics of him beeing "disceted"
the groove  isnt as deep as it looks,

- the troll hair is glued down, but it is quite esay to rip up,  i did use a cloth wet with acetone to  remove the remaing glue from his head,

- i rooted the nylon stright in to the groove,  its  packed tightly around the edge of the groove,  and there are aprovimatly 8 rows  of plugs running the length of the groove,   i found this enough to  give him a nice think hair  and cover that groove so its not  noticable,

then  glue on the inside of the head as per any other custom.

his head plastic is a lot foster than the other g4s  so making the pilot holes was  esay.

eek! I didn't knew the troll hair was so nasty, he looks like he received a direct  thundeshock from zapdos   :blink:

The reroot is a million times better.  :)

This is making me want to de-troll my SA even more now!  Might order the colours in then get cracking!  He looks so much better.

Anytime Sherbert!  There might be a tutorial on at Ponycon?  xxx

Inspired by this thread I took a rehairing needle to my own SA!
He looks fabulous now!
I used Bobby Blue and Atomic Turquoise. :)
