Hair Do Day for Cats & Ponies

There have been a lot of blog entries going around Pinterest the last while on how to detangle doll/pony/Barbie hair. I recently dug some My Little Ponys and some long hair cats out of the shed.  I saved them all these years knowing I would someday spruce them up for my own children. Morgan is still too little to appreciate these gems, but I thought I'd clean them up anyway! Maybe the big girls will enjoy them when they come over to play!

Here are some before shots (But they were already dunked in hot water, I forgot to take a true before pic):

And this one, as you can tell, was always my favourite! Her mane is VERY well loved… I was worried how it would turn out:

I didn't have baby oil or fabric softner, so I just used a LOT of conditioner. Washed them up in hot water, left conditioner in their hair for 5 minutes or so, and rinsed it out while combing (and I mean combing over, and over, and over again…).

(Didn't use the olive oil, they turned out great with just conditioner!)

Yellow hair Pony got a tiny trim to fix her split ends before she could get braids in! :)

A little blow drying, a little curling, and voila! They look so great I want to play with them myself…!!!!
