De-frizzing a sunshine pony? help!

[princessluna11706]

Hi everyone!

I was just given a Sandigger by my good friend DebonaireThundercloud, and I also have a beachball to de-frizz.  I was warned against flat ironing the color change streak as it may melt, but I was wondering if it can still be done (with lots and lots of conditioner and the iron on super low) or if there was another way?  I want to restore these ladies if possible before they go to the re-hair pile.  Thank you in advance

I'm not aware if they even can be de-frizzed, so I'm curious too.

Conditioner, hot water and patience... try putting curlers in after rinsing in very hot water. But you will probably lose some of the colour change. All sunshine ponies white stripe is frizzy and handles poorly. Not a reason to bait them imho.  Of course they are yours to do with as you wish

Thank you!  I will try that The beach ball doesn't being to me, but my friend mentioned above.  I told him I'd try to de-frizz in order not to bait, so I'm glad you agree with that! Otherwise they are in great condition, and I think it'd be a shame to bait/rehair if they can be saved.

You can try a flat iron too, low heat and lots of water, using conditioner while ironing would not hurt either. . I don't think that the color canging hair is any more prone to melting than any other type of pony hair that has reached a same state of frizz that the uv hair does. Just move slowly with a lot of patience and you'll be fine.

Thank you! I will try that too, super low heat and lots of conditioner ^_^

Does no one else worry about getting electrocuted using hair straighteners or irons with lots of water and conditioner?

As others have said its possible but please please be aware that half the time you will achieve some success (but typically loose any colour changing properties that remain) and the other half you will just melt the hair or make it worse. It is incredibly sensitive and if it is very frizzy its already very broken down. So as long as you enter the endeavour aware you could make it worse rather than better, you will be fine

Yes but for the sake of ponies its worth it Plus I use straighteners on my own hair when its wet...that would be more dangerous than the ponies. They are designed to be used on dampened hair thankfully

Unfortunately I didn't know that the Sunshine ponies hair melts- I melted my Beachball's hair I was soo unhappy and I found that pony in the wild and I really liked it.
