Care of your Horse Hair Item and Lifespan.
Horse hair comes in different strengths some are very fine whilst others are very strong.
Depending on this, how you look after your bracelet and how you wear it will affect its lifespan.
It is best if you can keep your jewellery dry. Avoid showering, swimming or using soap whilst wearing a bracelet or necklace as all these may weaken the hair and could breakdown the adhesives used to fit the end caps.
Please be aware if you choose to wear your horse hair jewellery next to other bracelets or a watch with sharp edges you run the risk of a hair snagging. If this happens you can push hair back in or cut it off carefully with small scissors or nail clippers.
If you need to wash your jewellery, use a mild shampoo or washing up liquid and let the hair dry naturally. Do not use any oils or conditioners.
