Most ponies have lost their natural curl by now, and so need to be restored. I think that hair is one of the most important features to a pony (which is why I don't trade for ponies with cut hair) and can make or break a pony's show career. If a pony is in mint condition, but the hair is chopped her whole look is ruined. Therefore, the following is list of hair care tips.



Washing

You will need:

Don't scimp when buying shampoo and conditioner! If you want the best results, you are going to have to get the best products. 1. Wet your pony's hair with warm water and try to brush it out. If it is too tangled, don't worry, just wait until you have applied conditioner. 2. Dab a dime sized drop of shampoo in your palm and rub your hands together. 3. Work and massage the shampoo into your pony's hair until you have worked up a reasonable lather. 4. Rinse out all the shampoo. 5. Repeat for conditioner except do not rinse. Instead, wait 10-30 minutes (depending on condition of hair) for it to set. Then, comb through the hair, snip off any uneven ends, and rinse. 6. If your pony does not need curly hair, wrap the mane around the neck and the bangs around the muzzle. Just leave the tail. This will make sure the hair flips in when it dries.

Perming
You will need: All of the supplies are available at WalgreensŪ. 1. Divide the hair into three sections. 2. While the hair is still wet, fold a perm paper over the ends. 3. Roll the hair in the curler all the way to the scalp and secure. 4. Repeat for the entire mane and tail. 5. To curl bangs, use very thin perm curlers. 6. Let dry overnight. 7. Once dry, you may spray on a bit of hair spray for extra hold. 8. Remove the curlers, holding the curler perpendicular to the way it was secured. 9. For candy cane curls, you are finished. For regular curls, hold the pony upside down and shake her for about five seconds. 10. She should now have a head of gorgeous curls!
