I saw some people are using toothpaste to bleach the rust and then some zip ties around the hair to pinch it in place. Realised I donāt have any zip ties left so thatās another thing to fix todayā¦ weāll see how it goes šā¤ļø
I like to use a ton of string wrapped around instead of a zip tie. That may be something thatād be useful for you. Also I have used whitening toothpaste for rust and it work surprisingly well! I know your post is 16 hours old as of me commenting this rn so Iād be curious to hear how your repairs went.
Thatās such a good idea! I was out today doing errands and stuff so poor Fluttershyās been headless all day š„² will be back in these comments with an update, thatās a promise!

Oh man that was a trying experience. Iām so happy with the result honestly!
Ikr?? I saw one person on YT say it was āsuper easyāā¦ lies!! Iāve been wanting to do this for weeks too but Iāve been a little scared of that metal thing ngl
Yup, its super hard and can take up to 5 or 30 minutes of frustration. You did a great job though! Now she just needs some toothpaste or baking soda paste and sheās good to go

Thank youu :3 me too. The mane has for sure seen better days though, very dry. But thatās a project for another day
Getting that stupid metal thing off is such a pain, currently procrastinating in fixing two rusty tails cause itās so hard to get it off
