One of the biggest complaints with the new My Little Pony toys is that they have terrible hair. And that is the honest truth. The colours are off, and the way they look freshly unboxed...

But! There is a solution! Lots of people have figured it out on their own, but if you've never done pony hair before, it can be tough to do. So I've created an illustrated style guide for the Mane Six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and many of their friends, using my plastic ponies to illustrate how to get the looks you want.

*N.B.: Please stop telling me that you can't see it. It's a pdf. I know those don't work for everybody, but seriously, this would have been a massive, unworkable image. PDF is just the format that makes the most sense, so if you can't see it, hit the download button or refresh a few times. Thanks!

I'm so glad that the people from EQD liked this as much as I hoped they would! If you style your pony's hair using my guide, I'd love to see it. You don't have to share, but it might be fun...

Also, if you're here from reddit, howdy! I'm wrathlet there. I should really learn to just use the same username.

This is... so awesome /)^3^(\ but it reminds me that I still don't have a Rarity figure and then I remember that I'm broke

Just a little tip, I've found a nice way to brush the mane through is to dampen it, then use an eyelash brush.

I got my first figure today, (Twilight) I'm gonna brush her mane through, then it's time for a trim :P

I'd like to point out something you should probably know about the Crystal Empire ponies.

They have Mylar strands in the hair to make it glisten. I have CE Fluttershy, and the Mylar strands in her hair simply do not respond well to boil-perming at all. They just stay...wild.
