HugsI know this might not sound funny, but their hair is like what mine is doing right now! I am getting off a med that has a side effect of hair lose. I am 39 and my hair is so very thin now!

Is this one of the Avon ponies?View attachment 79852
My poor girl only lost the pink hair after being frozen in ice...
OMG! I have that yellow fakie. It was a favorite of mine as a kid. I cut it's hair and it played the role of the stallion. I think I named him Banana Boat.View attachment 52215
These gals are so prone to this as well. Especially the pink.
I can confirm Strawberry Sunset has this hair. She had to be re haired.

She seemed to be fine, but then again, if it was going to happen, it was going to happen no matter what, this just maybe sped it upFrom the photo contest? Ouch. How was it before the ice?
It sure is. I think getting wet just sped up the process.Is this one of the Avon ponies?
I think they had the hair issue
im so afraid to take mine out of the bag lol, i have them still in package, i dont wanna chance her hairShe seemed to be fine, but then again, if it was going to happen, it was going to happen no matter what, this just maybe sped it up

I can unfortunately provide confirmation photos for Jazz Matazz and Wave Catcher. Jazz seems to only be suffering from rotting pink and Wave Catcher from rotting orange, but only time will tell.

Jazz has not been washed or combed, Wave Catcher has been cleaned with dawn, warm water, fabric softener, and a gentle combing and her orange kept coming right on out.
Spring Fever is another very likely contender. I don't have concrete proof, but when I cleaned one I found her hair was breaking off just like we see in confirmed polypropylene ponies. She also has had a couple releases where she was included with another pony, which is further supporting evidence that Hasbro would've used the cheaper hair.
EDIT: I will also be able to provide confirmation photos for Tea Lily and prrrobably Peach Surprise eventually. They arrived while I’m out of town but I had my mom open the package. Tea Lily is confirmed balding, Peach Surprise she says is really dry but not breaking just yet. It’ll probably fall out as I comb her, though.
Add Baby Soakey Doakey to the list ;( her middle pink hair is falling off, though it’s all polypropylene so I imagine it’ll all fall off at someopint

the first stripe of a twinkle twirl bubble bath topper i got recently is crumbling... does she have this same disintegrating hair problem? it has a bit of a creamy texture.

Hi all! I just found this forum and this post in particular because I am cleaning my old pony collection (mom smoked inside growing up so they all need a deep clean) and was wondering what happened to my pony, so I'm glad to have found an answer!! It's Blossomforth from the Wing Wishes line. Spring Fever, who came with her, seems fine, but Spring Fever was still in her original box. I'll look out for any more that this happens to as I work through cleaning the rest of my collection and post them here if I find any more. I have about 1.5 more boxes to go. The second I put Blossomforth in the water, all of her hair came out.

Hi! I’m a member in the G3 FB group and posted about my Dream Drifter having the same thing a while ago, I didn’t know it was so widespread
I bought a large lot some weeks ago and when I went to clean her up, the orange stripe in her hair completely fell out of the rooting.
I also have a Petal Blossom from the same lot but I’m a little scared to touch her >_<
Here’s a pic after barely touching her braid; surprisingly, the pink seems nice, so it’s just the orange stripe (for now at least!)
I’m still looking for a color match as I’d like to keep her as close to original as possible, so if anyone has suggestions please don’t hesitate to let me know!

Also, don’t smoke, kids.
Sounds like a lovely ideaThank you for all of the helpful information! It's so sad that one of the birthflower ponies is affected, too. I think I'm just going to rehair my Green Apple with apple green hair....

I got this Rainbow Dash in a lot today and while combing her, a lot of short pieces of her pink hair came out. I just combed her a little bit more on this white paper to show a small example (may be hard to see because I didn't want to take out too much more, sorry). Is this the beginnings of disintegrating hair syndrome or she just needs conditioner??
I already have this Rainbow Dash but in poorer condition and I don't know where she is. I love G3 and have quite a few G3 ponies but this is the first time I have encountered this. Even though I have Petal Blossom, Baby Romperooni, and Rainbow Flash.
Additionally I have a G1 Summerwing pony of Buzzer (the Hong Kong version) whose hair is dry and falling apart into short bits like this, only more extreme. I don't know how she was stored before I received her though so I don't know if it's just from sun or something...
This is heartbreaking! I didn’t even know this existed. I’ve been looking to get a rainbow flash and petal blossom for a while. Are the single ones of them okay? Or it’s just the one with the baby pony?
If anyone would like to share their color-matching recommendations for replacement hair for any of these affected ponies, please feel free and I will add it to the main post.
This is what I’m worried about too!Crap. Is the entire generation doomed to partial baldness?
