Smolder: How long until Silver realises Strawberry is just yanking her tail and that Citrine is just using an illusion spell to hide the fact her mane is back to normal?
Gallus: Magic can fix bad manecuts. Who knew?
Sandbar: Evidently, Strawberry.
Gallus: Well it’s been a month so far. I respect that dedication to the prank.
Ocellus: W-wait what? How do you know this?
Smolder: Because over the last month whenever Strawberry is near Silver, Citrine is nearby with her horn alight.
Yona: Pony shouldn’t prank Hippogriff like that. Makes friend Silverstream sad.
Sandbar: Maybe. But the mistake has urged Silverstream to get better at using scissors before she does any manecuts.
Ocellus: Shouldn’t someone tell Silver at some point? I agree with Yona, it does seem a little bit mean.
Silverstream: Oh, I already knew. Gee ‘Celly, I know I’m silly but i’m not blind. Not yet anyway! It’s just more fun to re-prank her back! Victory will be MINE!
You included Gallus’ quote in your first comment:
And I wasn’t talking about restoring it, I was talking about using an illusion to make it LOOK like it was restored.

You should then be aware that it was said by Twilight and/or Starlight that magic is actually not able to restore a pony’s mane to normal.
…Yes I am aware. It’s blatantly obvious I am aware because my entire comment was referencing it.

Except that an illusion is never offered or even mentioned, and one would think a simple illusion spell would be easy to apply any only needing a recharge once in a while. After all, as a unicorn Twi could create physical wings that could last for at least a day unless torched, and then she was an alicorn with a unicorn as powerful as she was helping. As often as she goes to the spa, you’d think popping in to the castle once a day or so to get her holo-hair recharged would be nothing.
You do know there was an episode about that, don’t you?
Or maybe they knew that Rarity wanted a permanent solution, and the fact that one of them would have had to stick close to her for months. World’s most forethinking mares for avoiding an even bigger meltdown?
But evidently not Starlight or Twilight. Worlds dumbest smart mares for not thinking of this solution for Rarity?
