hair frizzy just at the ends?

[starryeyed]

hey! I've had this problem with a few ponies now and I usually just put their hair in a braid and be done with it, but one girl I recently got has it really bad (g3 Minty with tinsel). I can generally get rid of most frizz on other ponies, even the 2008 McD ones who have poor quality hair, by brushing them out with shampoo and sometimes boiling water if it's bad. But for Minty I've tried everything, including using a straightener, but her hair is still just so coarse and incredibly frizzy right at the tips. What do you do when you get a pony like this? Is there some sort of technique for fixing it that I just don't know about? Also, why is it just the tips that I can't get the frizz out?  Thanks so much <3

The hair is made of plastic. When you stretch it enough times from playing, washing, brushing, existing.... it gets all frizzy.  It's just simple physics - a continuous strain in one direction, constant tension, it will "spring back" eventually against that tension, now you have frizzy ends! 

Kind of like how a household broom gets all gross and useless after a year or so.... 

The best solution I have found: coat the hair in conditioner.  Let it dry to a crunchy state.  Get it slightly wet again (I run a wet comb through it) and then take it through the straightener in small 1 cm sections of hair.  Re-coat in 1:3 watered-down conditioner, and set in hairstyle.  If you set the hair in curls, make sure you use end papers!  Best way to disguise the super fuzzy ends that you can't fix...
