My Little Ponies

My Little Ponies. What little girl (and some boys) doesn't love MLP? My girls LOVE them! We watch the show, little movies, and play with the dolls with accessories. They have the regular ponies, the knockoff ponies, mini ponies, glitter ponies, the castle and car. So much stuff! 

Heck, lets face it. You know that when the kids are done watching the show, you still watch it. They even throw in little jokes for adults and lets not forget the fan favorite of adults, Derpy Hooves, the pony who stumbles around and knocks into things.

But if you have the ponies with doll hair, you know how annoying the hair can get. My three year old brushes her ponies all the time which has made their hair super frizzy and gets tangled even more. She hates tangles in the hair, just like mommy, and has me fix them. 

What you need:
1 tsp of conditioner
2 cups of water, split in 2
Pony brush
1 paper towel cut into strips
Pins, 2 per pony


(Really, so frizzy!)


(All of them!)

I decided to tackle the hair. First, I brushed the tangles out. Next I mixed 1 tsp of conditioner in a cup of water. I dipped the hair into the conditioner, swirled it around a little, then rinsed in clean water. 

I re-brushed the hair, making sure all tangles were finally out and smoothed the hair into place. 




When you first get a pony, their hair is totally styled and nice, but as soon as it gets brushed, its pretty much done for. So after wetting and brushing the hair, you might want to restyle it. 

Basically, I twisted the front mane and wrapped around a front leg, then wrapped a paper towel strip around the leg and secure with a safety pin. 

For the back tail, wrap around a back leg, secure with paper towel and pin. 


Next, I let them sit under a bright light to help speed up drying. My daughter was so excited for her ponies to be pretty again. 

After a while, I took the paper towel off, but left the hair wrapped around the leg to dry a bit more. 


After the hair dries, unwrap and voila! Perfect pony hair. I think Rarity would approve.
