Tail hair is best as mane hair is not as durable and a lot finer than the tail hair... however, if mane hair is all you have I will be happy to work with it to make you a special keepsake!
1. Grasp the longest hairs at the bottom of the tail.
2. Lift the longest hairs over to the side with one hand and with the other hand pull the shorter hairs out of the way. Separate as many short hairs as possible so that you are only cutting the longest hairs.
3. Cut close to the dock and cut from 2, 3 or 4 places so that you are not taking a big chunk from one place.
4. The finished bunch of hairs needs to be 30 - 50cm long and approx. 1cm diameter (or about as thick as a pencil).
For loose hair items the length of hair is dependant on your preference, the item will be made the same length as the hair that you provide unless otherwise requested.
Loose hair items can be made from mane hair.
If you are still unsure how to collect the hair there are a number of uploads on You Tube that show you what to do. Just search for 'horse hair bracelets'.
I can incorporate the hair from more than one horse / pony. If you are sending me the hair from more than one horse / pony be sure to rubber band them separately otherwise the hair will be blended together.
There is no need to wash the hair before you send it as I will take care of that.
