How to Install a Mane Extension

Before You Begin

  • Start with a clean, dry mane.
  • Brush through the horse's natural mane and the extension.
  • Match the extension placement with the horse's existing mane for the most natural look.

Installation

  1. Section off a small amount of the horse's mane where you want the extension.
  2. Secure the extension to the braid or attachment point according to your extension design utilizing the kit provided - refer to videos provided.
  3. Blend the horse's natural hair over the attachment.
  4. Gently brush to ensure a seamless appearance.
  5. Style as desired for the class or event.

Pro Tip: Less is often more. Proper placement creates fullness without looking bulky.


Daily Care

  • Brush gently from the ends upward.
  • Hold the hair above where you're brushing to reduce stress on the attachment.
  • Use a soft-bristle or extension-safe brush.
  • Keep the extension clean and free of bedding and burrs.
  • Braid the mane when not showing to reduce tangles.

Before Showing

  • Remove any shavings or dust.
  • Lightly mist with a conditioning spray if needed (avoid heavy oils near the attachment).
  • Smooth flyaways with a soft brush.
  • Double-check that the attachment is secure before entering the pen.

After Showing

  • Gently brush out tangles.
  • Remove excess show sheen buildup if necessary.
  • Utilize a loose braid if wearing the extension overnight and a sleazy.
  • If removing the extension, brush it out before storing.

Washing

Only wash when needed.

  1. Use cool to lukewarm water.
  2. Apply a mild sulfate-free shampoo.
  3. Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Apply conditioner mainly to the mid-lengths and ends.
  5. Allow to air dry completely before storing or reinstalling.

Avoid twisting or wringing the hair.


Storage

  • Store clean and completely dry.
  • Keep in a breathable bag or protective sleeve.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
  • Brush before storing to prevent matting.

Tips for Long-Lasting Extensions

  • Never yank through knots.
  • Keep horses from rubbing whenever possible.
  • Avoid excessive silicone sprays at the attachment.
  • Remove before prolonged turnout if recommended for your style of extension.
  • Regular maintenance will significantly extend the life of the extension.
