pennie here!
forgot i had to comment on this really quick. this is my first time moding a ponies hair, and i'm totally happy with how it came out. i'll be happy to post my process so if any one wants to try it, they can. its really easy, and if *I* can do it, anyone can. Step 1. Get yer pony. OBVIOUSLY. This particular Pinkie is the Fashion Style Pinkie, so its the larger one. If you wish, you can get the smaller Pinkie, though I have not yet tried mine, so I have no idea how the curls will come out. Step 2! Wash yer pony!! Yep, you can start by washing your ponies hair in warm water, using your own shampoo and conditioner. I do advise to be careful when rinsing the conditioner, you don't want too much left in, but you don't want to wash it all out. Still need to keep her hair silky soft! Step 3~ You'll need to fill your sink, a bowl or tub with HOT water! Enough to where its near boiling temp, this way the heat will basically straighten out her hair and get rid of that annoying "package curl" she has. IMPORTANT! If you want a Pinkamina look, here is about where you stop. I took the time to boil Pinkies hair, let it dry, brushed it, and it came out pretty straight. The curl was only at the ends, and from there, you can trim it to the proper length. Do keep in mind, you will want to take the first top section (right in front of her ears) and part it over her face away from the back part, so she has that 'emo' fringe. Step 4! Now here is where you will want to get plastic straws (I stole a handful from Jack in the Box) and bobby pins. When you have her hair soaked with the hot water, start parting the hair. I used two straws for the front curl, and pinning the ends of the strand between the two, I twisted the hair around the straws and pinned it tightly with the bobby pins. Kinda help it sit so it would fall the right way once you remove the straws. Now just keep sectioning her hair, curling it around the straws and pinning. I cut my straws according to the length of the curl. Keep her hair wet, so if you feel it drying, carefully dip her in the hot water again and continue. Step 5. Once you have her all in rolls, tail and all, set her aside to dry over night. When she is dry, carefully remove the straws. All her curls will be really tight, and this is where the fun part begins. With each curl, you will want to carefully pull them apart to make their own curl. Don't worry about frizzing, a little bit adds to the texture. As you are pulling the curls apart, start molding and pilling the hair where you would want it to go. I pulled some hair from the bottom of her mane, up to the top of her head, and visa versa. I didn't have to trim a thing, except her bangs! With her tail, I ran a fine comb, carefully through starting at the base and pulling down to the ends, and again, molded the tail to how I wanted. This was harder since there is a lack of DAMN hair in the newer ponies. >:I And thats that! You have.... a Pinkie Pie! Hope this helps guys! And good luck! <3 I would also post the curler Pinkie if anyone wants to see how exactly it looks. :) Just let me know if you would like to see the picture. |

THANKS PENNIE! I really appreciate the pic and steps. This will make a toy investment all the more worth it. |

^^ Thank you for the Pinkie Perm Procedure! The extra-curly mane and tail makes her look so much closer to the cartoon. |

Or you could just straighten her hair and show her a rainboom. ;) |

Since I don't use conditioner on my hair myself, I'm seemingly going to end up buying conditioner (and bobby pins!) for no other reason than to style the hair of my cartoon pony figures. This is what ponies are doing to me.
...or I can take my cartoon pony figures and bring them over to this girl I know, who had ponies she had styled the hair of. That might be a better idea. |

Can I just send you mine and let you do it?
I'm afraid if I try anything I'll wind up with something that looks like Chemo Pinkie or something. |

Chemo Pinkie would be great for heart-wrenching diorama pics, though. |

I love the fact that you posted instructions. I just bought myself Applejack and the vast amount of curl in her mane is killing me. I mean, it does look kinda cute-and well made for something so cheaply made-but so show incorrect. Thanks to you, I might go back to the store and buy another AJ and try my hand at customing Princess Applejack from Look Before you Sleep. |

DOOD, that looks so awesome! It resembles my hair. XD My Pinkie toy's hair is already curled enough to look like her, but this was just...fabulous. I love seeing what people do to their ponies. :3 Of course, I've only got the Hasbro doll-hair Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy...my Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and Celestia are the McDonald's plastic-maned ones. And I should be getting the McD's Rarity sometime soon. ^w^ |

marrock: i wouldn't actually mind if you wanted to do it that way. you'd just be paying a small fee for shipping and uh... labor costs? XD hahaha i wouldn't charge over $10, and i'd be using some of that cash to send her back, which depending on where you are, is very little.
so its up to you if you wish to chance it. :) |
