It Isn't the Mane Thing About You.Rarity gets her mane ruined by Pinkie Pie's sticky party string before an important photo shoot. Zecora gives Rarity specially made shampoo, but Rarity accidentally takes a remover potion intended for Pinkie's mess instead, and loses most of her mane. While Zecora works on a remedy, Rarity is devastated when other ponies fail to notice her as she hides her mane out of shame. Zecora later tells Rarity that a magical fix for her mane is impossible, and her friends cannot make her a suitable wig in time, so she reluctantly cancels the shoot. Reminded by her friends that her mane does not define who she is, Rarity refashions her thinned mane into a punk-inspired look and confidently returns to her daily routine. Months later, after Rarity's mane has grown back, she is delighted to discover her friends had arranged a paparazzi shoot with her in her punk style, starting a new fashion trend.
