Description . . . AND NO CONTINUITY ERRORS WERE MADE THAT DAY.

First off, I'd like to apologize for the length of this tutorial. It is just over twice as long as the Pinkie Pie one . (~1.5 times longer than my Rarity tutorial .) Although it is a lot longer, I think the process of styling Fluttershy is easier than styling Rarity or Pinkie Pie due to the lack of curling. However, the process is more complicated, so I felt it was necessary to add additional instruction to maximize clarity while sacrificing brevity. I asked myself whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of an ambiguous tutorial or to take arms against a sea of obscurity, and by opposing them: tolerate a "tl;dr" or two, and ultimately figured I'd go for wordy and picture-y and hope for the best.

Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone again for your comments and questions regarding my other tutorials. I'm always happy to see the results of other people's styling both here, on deviantART, and in the ponychan thread .

And, of course, My Little Pony, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Fluttershy, Photo Finish and the Hasbro toys are all owned by Hasbro.

UPDATE: I also have Twilight Sparkle , Rainbow Dash , and Applejack tutorials as well, for those that are interested.

OBLIGATORY DD EDIT: SWEET AUNT JEMIMA! A DD! I have only ever dreamed of this happening. MY HEAD ASPLODE!

so I am currently attempting this for my neices cutie mark magic fluttershy and I have discovered that the mane is actually shorter, to the point where very minimal cutting is involved, the biggest issue with it though is that the cutie mark magic figures dont have wings set in place, instead they're replaced with insert-able, obscenely large fairy-esque wings that tend to fall out with too much movement, so I've had to change tactics a little, its currently drying so I hope all terns out well XD

How long would it take if you used a hair drier?

It may be a little quicker, but it may make her hair a little messy. If your hair drier has a low setting, use that.

SEGASister In reply to countschlick [2015-02-20 23:56:06 +0000 UTC]

Okay. Just how long, exactly?

countschlick In reply to SEGASister [2015-02-21 20:59:33 +0000 UTC]

Just long enough for the hair to dry and get hot. Maybe less than a minute, maybe more. It is very difficult to pin down an exact time due to all of variables involved.

Trying this with Fluttershy and Rarity now; we bought the bagged ponies and the hair seems a bit short. They were 2.99 as opposed to the regular boxed ones at 5.99. Example of new bagged ponies at Target

I followed your tutorial for Twilight and she turned out great... However, Twilight and Rarity are the only ones I currently have who don't have tinsel hair. Should I even try to style tinsel hair or spare myself the pain and suffering?

Eh, I've seen moderate success styling tinsel hair, but if it were me, I would probably cut out the tinsel before styling. I think there is about one tinsel strand per hair plug, so 20 to 30 in total, so it isn't as laborious a job as it seems.Β

Just wanted to drop you a message to thank you for this guide. I just finished working on my Fluttershy figure's hair today and letting it settle in place as I type this. I've been wanting to fix her look for sometime now, and this guide was very helpful in not only walking me through the procedure, but motivating me as well. Thank you again.

cuteface10 [2013-12-30 05:26:25 +0000 UTC]

Just checking- would this work with the Fluttershy that has the wings that move when you push the necklace? Crystal motion or whatever? It doesn't have tinsel, sooo...

countschlick In reply to cuteface10 [2013-12-31 09:03:09 +0000 UTC]

I think it should. It might be tricky if her legs move around really easily, but I don't think that would be much of a problem.

The battery isn't really meant to hold hair in place, but rather act as a cylindrical spacer to produce the curl in the top of Fluttershy's mane. Also, keeping the battery in place by pulling Fluttershy's mane around it acts as a way of checking that the top section of her mane is tight and neat. For these reasons, I don't think using a barette will work here.

If the barrette is cylindrical, I think it will work.

I think out of all the ponies, Fluttershy is the easiest and realistic to style, her's is more simple while everyone else is jut too radical XD
