Perfume Puff Sweet Lily

When I first got started on fixing up MLP (though I had YEARS of experience fixing doll hair before then), I would look up how to manage certain hair types without destroying them.

One thing I kept seeing was that you can’t fix tinsel. You can make it better, but not fix it. I’ve found that to be wholly incorrect. Both the metallic ribbon and holographic plastic type flat iron well. The other type which is a foil ribbon wrapped around string tends to disintegrate, though.

Another thing I saw was “You can’t brush Perfume Puff hair.”

You totally can with a cat slicker brush.

Though when I sort out Perfume Puff hair, I pick it with a metal comb until it can be combed easily, then pick again with the flea comb to pull out debris and broken hair bits.

Takes some time but works great.

I recently got some nice metal combs (thanks to advice from this post) and started going through my pony shelf dusting and combing and generally making sure everyone looks their best. It didn't occur to me to take photos until I was about a quarter of the way through a perfume puff.

The last photo is me trying to part her hair with my finger. Perfume puffs have textured hair - if you can get a comb through without catching there's something wrong. But this pony's hair was clumped together in strips. It wasn't dirty, but I think I had tried to braid it at one point - it was parted down the middle between the rows of plugs.

I aimed for a more uniform fluffy texture. This involved a lot of patient hand detangling, parting, combing and recombing but I eventually ended up with this.

I think it's an improvement.

It’s My Little Monday! With...G1 My Little Pony Perfume Puff Lavender Lace! The perfume puff ponies are special, because they have this unusual type of hair. The real mystery, is what is it? No one actually knows what it is made of. Nothing else/no other toy used it. It is brushable--to a degree, yet it is sturdy. Its look can be imitated to a degree by combed yarn/but it’s texture cannot. (No it is not ‘hairdorable-doll material’) To style it, you need to do ‘finger styling’, which is what has been used here to create puffy twists, braids, and more. Only the forelock is the usual nylon hair. Her smell is AMAZING! It is a quiet, cozy smell that’s lightly floral and has a calming effect. The scent is precious. She’s pretty but, she’s not lavender? Well, she probably was some hue of purple-ish at some point but some of these PP ponies did not keep their color well over the years and she’s one of them. I army PPs, so if I found another in a different shade I would surely keep her. Her story is that in the spring she found a lilac bush that smelled so good, she magically transformed one of its flowers into a tiny jar of solid perfume. (Old-fashion perfumes were not always liquid, some were in ‘cakes’ that had to be touched, this is a case of that)  The perfume puff hair seems hit or miss with the community but I am a huge fan of it and love finger styling. They are just so different & beautiful with their hair like soft clouds in lovely colors. Charming! Would recommend to anyone.

Whenever I am asked if there are any ponies I regret selling, this pair is always at the top of the list. I loved them so much!
