Shiny Perfect Pony Hair? Spooooooooosh*!

[Radha]

Ok, who is this spoosh*, and why do all of her ebay ponies have perfect shiny hair, perfectly flat if it it's flat and perfectly curled if it's curled?  I must know! 

 In all seriousness, could you all share some more tips for great pony hair? Specifically dry hair.  I shampoo and condition, and have done the 'condition overnight in cling wrap' treatment, and boiling water for super frizz.  What else do you all do?  What's the final verdict on flat irons? Products you will or won't use?  Thanks!

Spoosh is a male collector who's been around for years. He used to run the 50 most beautiful ponies event (50mbp.com, nothing there now). He's also really good at taking photographs of ponies.

He also created this>>  http://ponyville.livejournal.com/

He also took many of the pictures on StrawberryReef.com

I have bought many ponies from him and love them all

I just took a look at the auctions that you mentioned and wow, the hair on those ponies is incredible. I have no idea how he got the hair to look so great but I am jealous. i think those ponies have nicer hair than I do!!

I have been wondering the same thing! I bought SS Bouncy and Puddles and Peeks from him not too long ago. Their hair is gorgeous!

I use only conditioner and warm water. My conditioner of choice is my Garnier and macadamia nut cream. All my ponies have silky manes thanks to that mix, even my BABW ponies!

I am such a sucker for silky hair on a pony.

I sent a pm, those G1's look so fabulous! The light bounces right off! =D

I've bought from Spoosh* before on ebay His ponies are beautiful and I got some lovely G1s and G3 birthflowers from him

[Sokkis]

What I believe is, that he wets the hair a bit with a conditioner or something like that and shoots the ponies. The hair looks really nice that way and settles down great for the pics.
His pics always look nice, I agree!

[Shenanigans]

I believe he also uses some sort of gel or something to make the hair a bit stiff to stay in place My G3s had stiff hair anyway

[Honeycomb]

He's one of my favourite sellers on ebay, the ponies are always amazing! He even manages to tame nasty messy tinsel G3 hair.

Yes I believe there is some kind of treatment on them when they are photographed - they always look gorgeous - just make sure to read the description as well.

As for shine, I use baby oil sometimes. I brush it in and lie the hair away from the pony [so pony on its side and hair brushed out of position]. Leave it until the hair starts to dry and then wash the oil out.
