The Great De-Frizz
I have worked
on the technique given to me by Sharron. I really want to thank
her for telling me all about it. Many a pony can be saved from
the salvage pile because of it.
Follow my simple
steps to perfect your ponies hair. Note of caution - read all
the directions before beginning any of my techniques! And please
use a pony you aren't worried about for the first time. Oh yeah,
as always, please be careful not to injure your hooves while trying
this! We don't want cripled ponies in my hospital!
These steps
took me about 20 minutes on Sugarberry here. it may take you less
or more. You may have to repeat it again. But it is worth the
results. ALSO!!!!! I have tried this on low with my princess ponies.
It made noises but also did a wonder on the tinsel in thier hair
too.
Now on with
the show!
STEP ONE:
Using aussie
slip detangle your frizzy pony as much as possible. Take the pony
by it's roots and pour in some of the slip. Rub thoroughly into
dry hair. Use a wide toothed comb and slowly work out the knots
starting at the ends and working your way up. Do this for both
the mane and tail of the pony.
STEP TWO:
After hair
has been detangled separate into smaller sections. You will need
these smaller parts to slowly work out the frizz.
STEP THREE:
Taking the
hair by each separate section use a hot curling iron starting
at the root base and work out. You WILL hear it sear. Unless you
have a new iron it will not melt the hair. For the first time
through you should probably try it on low just to know if it is
too hot or not. Repeat this step a few times until you really
notice a change in the pony's hair. For Sugerberry it was about
5 or six pull throughs.
STEP FOUR:
Take the pony
to the sink. After each section has been done it is time to rinse
out the conditioner/detangler. Holding the pony upside down, rinse
the hair clean of the conditioner. Pull the hair straight as you
rinse it.
STEP FIVE:
Go back to
the iron. do steps two and three again.
STEP SIX:
Go ahead and
style your pony. I have some of the basic styles in the salon
too!
