Restoration technique-tinsel straightening

[Elish2]

Hi guys. Just want to discuss tinsel straightening techniques.

I have been straightening tinsel hair using just a few simple items:
Dryer sheet
Cold water
Hair Straightener

First wet your ponies' hair and make sure it is combed. Wet the dryer sheet, and run through the ponies' mane and tail a few times. Take a Straightener set on LOW and run through the ponies' hair. The technique for me is to hold the hair straight and firm when running the iron through. Also I try to decrease the pressure I am applying to the flat iron towards the end of the hair to keep it from curling, also held to go slow, but not too slow to keep tinsel from curling. Next rinse the ponies hair in cold water to get off the dryer sheet residue.

Now before and after
