How do you style your Pony Luvs' hair? I like the ones I've seen where it is wavy but not curly. Mine had such matted hair that I untangled it and used a straightening iron on it. But now I don't know what to do with it. Don't really like it straight. Help? Pics? Tips?

One method I know of is the boil perm method. You will need really hot water (since synthetic hair differs, and you never know which types will melt, I would avoid using boiling water), cold water, straws (or some other item to wrap the hair around), and rubber bands (or twine... anything to keep the hair and item you are curling with attached to your pony). First you start by wrapping the hair around the straws, and then adding the rubber bands to keep everything together. Then, dip the hair into your hot water for a few seconds. Transfer the pony from the hot water to the cold water. The cold water helps to set the curls. Carefully pat the hair dry, then let the hair air-dry over a day or two. Remember to leave the straws in while this is going on! When the hair is sufficiently dry, you can carefully remove the bands and straws. If the curls are tighter than you want, gently run your fingers through them, this will help loosen them up. There are other sized "curlers" you can use for the boil perm method, just look around and see what you think will work best, whether you want one large curl, or bunches of small curls. You can also just braid the hair, instead of using straws or other items, and just follow the rest of the method. Just remember not to take the braid out till the hair has dried all the way through. Not sure if this helped... there are several curling tutorials on the MLPArena, and other websites if you need more or better info. Edit: I know you wanted to see some pics of Tara ponies and their hair, but the few I have are currently packed away, and I haven't done anything with their hair.
