How can I make color streaks a la Pretty Mane ponies?

Spoiler

I've put the image in a spoiler because the image is too big. I'd like to give my custom some mane colours similar to the mail order Pretty Manes, but I don't know how to make those horizontal streaks. Any ideas?

You could dip dye :) that's what I would do.

You can also try laying the hair flat and "painting" on the dye with a thick brush, then rinsing.  Good luck!

The hair isn't made of the same thing (I think it's saran?) but: http://archive.barbie.com/designable-hair/

For something like this - I would do the paintbrush method as described above.

My final colour of choice is white on a dark blue hair. Can I use bleach?

you're best bet is to use white hair then paint-dye the area you want dark blue. Bleach will not work on pony in the same way as it does on clothing :)
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!
