all of my ponies when they get here, even the ones straight out of the box (the G3s, i wouldn't do that to the older ones, plus i don't have any MOC) get a gentle scrub in the tub and a hair full of conditioner...i love them with the silky hair, and i love the G3s with their hair straight
Silky! Original curls are only original curls if they are still nice, manicured, and well, not frizzy/messy. If the curls are NOT frizzy, I've had success gently brushing the curls to be smooth curls again (my Tux had his hair messed up on the trip over, and I was able to straighten them up to factory again by wrapping each curl around a finger and brushing in the direction it went)
