Description I made this about a week ago for Ponychan's /merch/ hair styling thread. It kinda started off as a joke but I added more to it and actually made it decent.

It's just a guide on how to style your Rarity without using any tools. All you need is some shampoo/conditioner and (hot) water.

Did you cut her hair? I tried this with mine but her hair is too long and it won't stay in itΒ΄s Β΄lace while I'm drying it

wakabalasha In reply to yrenevendetta [2011-12-25 05:46:58 +0000 UTC]

nah I didn't cut her hair, but I've had other people comment that theirs doesn't always stay in place either so I'm not sure. I'm like 90% sure though mine stays in place because I used shampoo and conditioner (yeah I know it's weird), but it also made her hair all soft so idk.

Yeah looking back I probably should've added "Results may vary". I never ever expected anyone to even look at this, and I wasn't even going to upload this until my friend bugged me to

CeeNova [2011-12-07 19:34:25 +0000 UTC]

Have you done one of this for Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, or Fluttershy?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

wakabalasha In reply to CeeNova [2011-12-09 20:53:39 +0000 UTC]

It's a bit more complicated for Twilight and Rainbow Dash, since both of them MUST involve cutting their hair. There's another very detailed RBD hair-cutting guide somewhere around here, and with Twilight it mostly just involves cutting her bangs straight across. I'm a bit scared to actually cut my pony's hair without having an extra standing by, so I haven't tried them yet

With Pinkie Pie I turned mine into a Pinkimena with straight hair and creepy looks

With Fluttershy all you gotta do is put her in the sink, and turn the hot water on. After you let her sit in there for a few minutes take her out and let her dry. To make her hair more poofy put the hair between two fingers and just gently pull along. For some reason this makes it all poofy, or at least it did for me

Hope that helps~

What's the shampoo for? It's not mentioned in the step-by-step thing. Thanks though, will be really helpful if it works!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

wakabalasha In reply to Xinlo13 [2011-11-20 04:10:28 +0000 UTC]

I wasn't sure if the shampoo would be necessary or not since it seemed silly at the time. turns out though it actually helps quite a bit in getting the hair to "stick" when you wrap it around or just position it in general.

It also makes the hair not clump together.

wakabalasha In reply to Furisutairu [2011-11-20 04:09:22 +0000 UTC]

I don't have tutorials since I don't think this "method" would really work for the others. For AJ, you just put her in the sing and blast water on her to make it straight. Rainbow Dash involves cutting so I haven't tried her yet, Fluttershy is pretty much the same as AJ, and for Pinkie I'm not relaly sure... I turned my Pinkie into a slightly evil Pinkimena and gave her straight hair

CheshireAndAlice [2011-11-11 04:02:31 +0000 UTC]

how do you fasten the hair to the body at the ends so that it doesn't move? :/
do I have to hold it all in place? D:

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

wakabalasha In reply to CheshireAndAlice [2011-11-11 04:06:26 +0000 UTC]

For me I found that the hair sticks to the body pretty well. It might be due to cleaning it those (just normal shampoo and stuff), but yeah I didn't use any rubber bands or anything to get it to stick.

wakabalasha In reply to Shauntinasha [2011-10-27 01:09:17 +0000 UTC]

It's highly recommended. It does make a difference and can make the whole thing easier, althought I've only tried once without it so I can't say for certain (but everyone else seems to agree)

Shauntinasha In reply to wakabalasha [2011-10-27 01:14:25 +0000 UTC]

I conditioned her hair, but not shampoo, and I did the whole process of your tutorial and lightly gelled it and now I'm waiting for it to dry. We'll have to wait and see x)

wakabalasha In reply to Shauntinasha [2011-10-27 01:08:33 +0000 UTC]

yeah. My Protip is to just do this whole process in the shower. Makes it really easy ;D
