All About Hair

We use your own horsehair. We can supply ethically sourced hair in most colours, if you prefer.

Send your hair to the address on the receipt you receive after purchase (a South Auckland address - note this has changed since Sept 2023!).

All bracelets (except "Arion" style) require a bundle of hair 27-30cm long, as thick as a pencil. All pendants, pins and rings require a bundle 20cm long as thick as a pencil. All unused hair is returned.

Tail hair from your horse is the strongest hair to work with. It will last the longest and tolerate daily wear best.

Mane hair is able to be used if it is long enough. It is softer hair, and more prone to breaking. If you only have mane hair to use, we recommend the "Alice" cuff or "Bree" cuff with plate for a balance of displaying the hair, while offering it good protection. Pendants work well with mane hair. Rings are not recommended to be made with mane hair.

We can incorporate hair from multiple horses into all items. Contact us after purchase to let us know how you would like us to incorporate different horse's hair.

We ask that hair be rinsed and dried before sending it to us. Band one end of the bundle tightly. Hold the hair under running hot water until saturated. Gently massage shampoo through it to remove mud, twigs, grass etc. Rinse thoroughly. Hang it up to dry. Send dry hair so it does not mold in the package.

If you would prefer not to (or are not in position to be able to) give the hair a preclean before sending it, we can do this for you for a service fee - add the "Preclean hair" option to your cart. A $20 fee is applied. If purchasing multiple items, you only need to select it once, on the first item in your cart.
