Un-tinseled Star Swirl

[Nyukasami]

Hi guys!
I tried many tricks other members gave me to help tame my Star Swirl's tinsel, but nothing worked.
I don't like changing my ponies, but since I was little and played with her, I always thought that the beautiful contrast between the pink in her hair and the white of her body was masked by the tinsel. So I took drastic measures and decided to "de-tinsel" her mane and tail.

What I'm basically doing is cutting the tinsel at the root, the more close to her body as possible. I've finished her mane and noticed a giant difference right away. I'm very pleased with how she's coming out!

After:

And look at all the tinsel that came out!

I use fabric softener, but she looks nicer without the tinsel. Nice work!

She's looking great! I want to do this to one or two of mine eventually.

She looks much prettier without the tinsel. I always thought the G3s had too much tinsel. Nice job!

I like tinsel hair, but Star Swirl looks very nice without it.

Did you try a flat iron?

I use dyer sheets and a flat iron encase you ever need help with tinsel again

That's lovely! My de-tinseling efforts with one of my ponies was horrible.

Yes, I did! Made no difference whatsoever...
