G1 To dye or not to dye? (Also Posey's new pinkier hair)

[Moondream]

A while ago I read that highlighter can be used to restore pink pony hair. I decided to test it out on my Posey whose hair became snow white.

I used a ton of highlighter. Her hair was so neon pink she was rocking Pinkie Pie's color!

"I love your hair Truly but I think I'm aiming for a lighter shade"

So after about an hour I decided to wash the highlighter out. It was so sticky I was afraid it had ruined her hair!

But her locks turned out to be a beautiful shade of baby pink and I'm beyond pleased with the results! Now she looks like a new pony

So here's my question: Remember seeing poor Baby Snippy in the first pic? Yeah I'd be pretty snippy too if my hair was frizzy and faded like that. Anyways I'd like to send her as a swap present but I want to restore her hair first. I was wondering if it's a good idea to dye her hair or should I leave it the way it is? I want her to look brand new but I know some collectors are against altering original hair so I'm on the fence.

I think I would re-pink her hair, but you could ask your partner first (Using the in-between, ofc)

I agree with @Skygleamshine and I also love posers new hair! I may try that, but I'm still scared! @Moondream

To rep ink, I use red or dark pink eyeshadow, because it washes out with soap or shampoo, and gives a really good dip dye, I tried it on my follower flash

I would personally love a pony with re-pinked hair, but I don't know about others.

I think it's best to have the swap organizer ask your partner if a re-pinked pony is acceptable

Also, Posey looks lovely!

Wow, great results. I like the bright pink hair-but it does kind of make the rest of her look faded. The washed out highlighter looks just right. Maybe full highlighter for other ponies? Like the pink stripe in Bangle's mane or some of the others with neon pink

If you allow the highlighter to be more time in your ponys hair the hair will be even pinkier after washing.

Posey look so lovely . I guess it depends on people who like re-pinked and who don't. I personally like when ponies have their pink hair^^ but I always recommend to tell the person you are selling that the hair is re-pinked.

Thank you so much for all the input! I mailed my swap organizer and my partner is cool with it. That means it's time to repink Baby Snippy

@Mlp Sunsparkle Thank you very much! I'm so pleased with how soft pink it turned out. I was super scared too. I even got some highlighter on her skin but thankfully it washed right off. I never thought of using eye shadow. I'm going to have to try it sometime soon

@Onna I was so nervous when it was so bright. It looked awful! You're absolutely right. Full highlighter would look lovely in neon pony hair!

@h1m3. That's a great idea. I have a few different ponies that need to be repinked so I'm going to test how many hours of highlighter hair affects the color. Thank you very much! I actually picked her up for a dollar. Now she's all clean and repinked and looks like a brand new pony.

I'll post the results of the baby in a few hours

Ooh! I saw that thread! Sheer genius! even an artistically challenged person like myself couldn't possibly mess that up. Your Posey looks so gorgeous!
