Nettex Mane and Tail Detangler – 500ml

Nettex Mane & Tail Detangler – 500ml

This is an aqueous blend of conditioners and moisturisers that seals and coats the hair, so knots stop forming rather than simply being combed out again. Nettex say the effect lasts up to seven days, and the coating repels dust and dirt while it is on, which is most of why a tail stays presentable between shows.

It works on wet or dry hair and is fine for everyday use, not just for the day before a class. The horses it earns its keep on are the natives — the thick, coarse, double-length manes that take twenty minutes to get a comb through if they have been left.
