Re-dying Perfume Puff hair

[Queen Eclipsia]

Hi all!
I was just wondering if anyone on here has had any luck re-dying PP HAIR. Daisy Sweet's hair has faded to almost pure white. I read somewhere that it's not as easy as re-pinking regular pony hair...

Thanks!

Maybe try giving it a gentle wash in cool water - mine seemed to brighten up after I did that I think it was just dusty

She's all clean and her hair is white with yellow at the base.

Of all the cruel and unusual things I've done to ponies this is one that I have not attempted. So, I'm gonna pull up a chair and wait to see what others have to say...

Is there ANYONE out there who's tried to re-dye Perfume Puff hair? Anyone? Beuller....?

Stalking this thread. I'd suggest really soaking it in the dye a long while, but I'm no expert.

Honestly I think everyone's Daisy Dreams hair looks like that - a lot of photos online people 'improve' the colours - maybe you have been looking at a photo that's been adjusted? Can we see the photo you are comparing her to? She looks original and good to me.  Just my (second) two penn'orth

I'm curious too
I have 2 of her...1 has wonderful yellow mane and tail
....the other has a gorgeous dark/bright yellow mane and NO tail I want a real replacement tail, but even if I find one, it will probably be faded

Artemisia Floc - just do a google search for Daisy Sweet and you will see plenty of images of her with yellow hair.
There has to be SOMEONE on here who's tried it! I find it hard to believe otherwise!

Roogna- too bad you're missing a tail. Both of your ponies sound gorgeous anyway!

Raises hand, I've tried, it didn't work.     I let the hair soak and when I pulled it out all the dye ran out.... I think the little bit that remained looked dingy.  It's been over a year since I've tried so I don't remember all the details but nothing resulted that encouraged me to try it again.  Sorry everypony.

Yeah I think your only choices are to live with it white or rehair it.

I think my google bubble must be different to yours but I did find DD with more yellow hair in here: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,365855.15.html

Faded hair wouldn't be a reason to re-hair for me, OP maybe you can upgrade her? 

I would also have a look at all the tutorials for re-PNIKing hair and perhaps try a technique from there but with a yellow dye? It would be great to see the results.

Whatever you decide, congratulations on a lovely pony!

Hmm what was the dye used if you remember? Might be the type of hair they had used too.

I always use RIT dye.

The problem is the type of hair - I have a feeling perfume puff hair is polypropylene and not normal nylon (in order to get the affect). However I have never tested to confirm. If thats the case then the hair will not accept dye as it is not porous unfortunately
