Okie dokie, another repair question:
Caramel Crunch has a little rust problem that has turned her white hair a tad brassy. Is it possible to bleach hair or use something like CLR to remove rust from hair?

You know, I've heard of people using toothpaste to get rust out of hair. O.o But I've never tried it myself.

Toothpaste is a great one to try. I am not sure what CLR might do to white hair so I would be really careful, I have heard that the RIT rust remover will turn it yellow so I wouldn't try that either.
Maybe Soft Scrub, it has some bleach in it so it may lighten the hair, I know it will get rid of the rust as well?

well it doesnt get it all out but when you wash the hair afterwards just get a cloth and rub it out wit ha cloth. it wont get rid of all of it but it doesnt use chemicals or anything!

Toothpaste it is! I use it to polish silver (does a great job by the way) so many it'll clean pony hair. I'll let you know how it goes, thanks!

I've used both oxi clean and CLR successfully

Oxiclean huh? Well the toothpaste didn't really seem to have an affect - besides making my hand feel a little tingley. How do you seperate the hair to oxiclean it so you don't bleach out the other colored hair or damage the symbols?

I don't think you need to seperate the hair...I think you just put some oxiclean in a bowl with hot water and let the tail soak in it

If it's in the tail, I just take the whole tail out and put it in some hot water with oxiclean. Let it set for a few minutes. Then when you take it out, rinse it under some water and rub the rust with you fingers. It should just wash right out. I dont *think* it'll fade the hair, I've never had that happen before.
