That’s three out of four!!!

RIGHT after I said I was hoping to pick up Streaky and Ringlet eventually, a Streaky popped up on eBay for $15 shipped!

Double lucky, she needed her hair fixed.

Not that getting a minty Streaky for $15 wouldn’t have been some sort of weird mega-luck.

TRIPLE lucky, I’ve gotten an offer for a Ringlet in trade for some pony work!!

Her hair felt horrible, though.

It was dry and pretty scruffy all along the length.

Admittedly, I got lazy and didn’t fully smooth it out, and it shows in the end results. Her curls are textured instead of hyper-glossy.

Separating out the manes for making individual-color curls isn’t too difficult, though Streaky did have a couple plugs that had two colors in them. I didn’t fret over it too much.

For some reason her mane curls fell. I must not have had them wrapped tightly enough. The pink one could use a re-do it sticks out from her neck weird.

Separating out the tails can be a pain, though. The hairs get all brushed together and the hairs are separated into the two sides of the tail.

I wondered if it would be easier to separate out the hair colors in her tail if I removed it, and it was! I also discovered she had a rusty washer, and replaced it.

But then how to get it reinstalled without mixing the colors again?

I decided to try loosely twisting the individual colors’ halves to themselves and it worked! It was only a little bit more difficult to pull through her tail hole due to the added bulk of the twists.

It also made her tail easier to curl because the colors were already combined as they came out of the tail hole instead of being in two spread out chunks.
