NT Special Edition 950 - get your hairdo ready!

     1. Of course, our first secret had to come from your majesty, Queen Fyora. For being a powerful faerie, she explained to us that her magic helps in keeping her hair hydrated, which is 50% of the work. The Queen adds, “If you have the time, I recommend taking a look at my book, ‘Fyoras Hair Care’. There I explain that it all really comes down to styling properly. You don’t have to go crazy with the hair just because it is a celebration! So, what I do is: first, I wash my hair with Fyora Shampoo, and afterwards I gently comb it with the help of my Fyora Comb. It is a special comb with spaced teeth, which really helps to detangle your hair. Once dry, I brush my hair with my Fyora Hair Brush, apply some Fyoras Magic Hairspray, and then finish styling with the help of my comb. Now, if like me, you also like wearing a crown, there is a special trick: apply a bit of Super Strong Hair Gel on the area where you intend to clip your crown, it will prevent it from slipping away and messing up your hair during the event!”. Thank you, Queen Fyora! I sure hope I can look as majestic as you after applying those tips!

     2. Who doesn’t love a good old Altador Cup? It is one of the most important celebrations in Neopets, so we took the opportunity to speak with the glamourous captain of team Shenkuu, Mirsha Grelinek. “Growing up with a twin sister, I would spend a lot of time testing extravagant hairstyles on Atsumi [author’s note: for those who are not aware, Mirsha is the twin sister of our favourite costumier from Charity Corner!]. As I grew up and became a sports celebrity, it was just natural that I would apply my hairstyling skills to my public appearances. As many other Gnorbus, I grew up using the traditional set of Blue Gnorbu Comb and Brush. So, the first thing I do before going on the field is to brush my hair with them. Now, I do have two different hair routines: one for press conferences, and one for game days. For press conferences, I will wash my hair with the amazing Gnorbu Conditioning Shampoo, blow it dry and curl up the tips. Occasionally, when noticing dry ends, I like to cut those off with the appropriate Gnorbu Shears, because double tips do pop out on TV! Now, on game days, there is a twist: Instead of washing my hair, I just apply a mixture of Gnorbu Gel and Sand-Away Hair Gel on top of my unwashed fur. This is a very important step, because the fields of Yooyuball are REALLY sandy”. Being adaptable is key to those who frequently attend celebratory events!

     3. From the darkest corners of Haunted Woods, we bring to you exclusive hair advice from the powerful Hubrid Nox! “Do not worry, as long as you keep talking about be, I will not bite! Jokes aside, you are right, I pay special attention to my grooming and hair. I am not sure you have noticed, but my moustache is extremely envied all over Neopia. Some say it is no big deal and that I just use some Moustache Wax… that is completely outrageous!!! Nothing ordinary touches my facial hair! That is why I groom it with Dr. Sloth Hair Pomade After all, a product developed for someone that powerful should also be appropriate for my own hair, we are basically the same, people often compare us because he is awesome, charming and… well, you get the point. Moving on, I know one of the greatest curiosities of any pet is about my hair products. At first, I was not sure if I should share my secret, but I do realize what a reference I am in the celebrity world, so I will do. Most people think my secret is a lot of Hairspray, but it would not be efficient at all without the help of my Basic Dryer. After all, you need perfect tools for perfect hair!”. You sure know best, Mr. Nox!

      4. Finally, we have the contributions of our master of transformation, Naia! As someone who is used to modifying the fur of so many Neopets, our dear Fountain Faerie is basically the fairy godmother of beauty twists. “There are many techniques to achieve the perfect celebratory hairstyle, and the different paint brushes do help a lot, but it is very important to give final touches to Neopets’ transformations, so that they leave my establishment looking like stars ready for the red carpet. In order to do so, we should first analyze the type of fur we are dealing with. For example, you don’t want to use the Yellow Meerca Hair Dryer on an Elderlygirl Meerca – instead, I use the Tonu Curler: it gives the perfect finishing to their fringes. On glowing pets, I like to use a special mix of Glowing Eyrie Mouse, Grarrl Hair Goo, and Dr. Sloth Hair Pomade – it gives the perfect amount of radiation to the recipe and keeps the fur glowing for longer. As for myself, I do enjoy taking care of my hairstyle, as we do celebrate a lot of parties in Faerieland. My dearest hair product is the Rainbow Hair Dye, it is perfectly aligned to my hair type and gives me the perfect shade of blue highlights. However, dying your hair implicates a series of hair care processes. My latest favourite is the combo of Cucumber Melon Shampoo and Conditioner; then, to finalize, I use Faerie Glitter Gel, it really pops in the photos”. Well, she certainly got me wondering how to style Snot pets!

     To wrap up, we have some final tips to whoever wants to give the best to their hair or fur in special occasions:

     - NEVER use a Jhudoras Brush on your baby pets – it is said to influence their future behaviour

     - Despite it looking like a fish, DO NOT keep your Codcombfish underwater!! It is actually a robotic fish and will most certainly be ruined if you do so.

     - Scorchio Damaged Hair Repair works, in fact, to all Neopets, unless you have a Mutant Gnorbu – sorry, my dear, but there is simply no solution to your problem.

     - And finally, no matter what you do, DO NOT USE FIRE FAERIE HAIRSPRAY. Unless you already have fire for hair!

     Now go on and get ready, you have a 950th NT Special Edition party to celebrate!!
