Re-hairing?? Help!
« on: July 02, 2013, 08:10:41 AM »
I am poised to purchase the most beautiful piggy....well, beautiful except almost all of her hair has been chopped off!   :cry:

I have no idea how to re-hair, but I know that some of you do.  Anyone out there do professional-level re-hairing?  How much would you charge?  This particular pony would need every last hair on her mane and tail replaced. 

Reply, PM or email.  Halp meh!

There are lots of tutorials on how to rehair. I believe that there are some people offering their services in the customs forum...I think Madhatterda does,  but do not quote me on that...anyways here are a few links just from googling it....

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!  I thought about posting in the custom forum, but wasn't sure if I should.  I know there are tons of talented pony artists out there who could do a much better job than me on this project.

No problem, good luck with the pony! :)

I would get it! Worse case there are a ton of people on here that I'm sure wouldn't mind rehairing for you for a little fee.

I could also do it. 

Consider:

method- I use the knot method with a doll needle for insertion.
hair match- vintage donor vs new supplier like dollyhair.
length- factory or longer
thickness- thick, thin, med.  Don't want to risk breaking the plugs with too much thickness.
glue inside head-yes or no. what kind?

Uh... what else.  Tracking and insurance is probably a good idea depending on the $ value of the pony so you will probably want to stick to a domestic user to cut shipping charges.

allergies- I have dogs.
I'm not really on here anymore. Email me if you need my for something.
