Horse Hair Shampoo

October 2nd, 2006 @ 10:20 am by Mrs. Apple

Has anyone heard of this shampoo, Mane ‘n Tail?

I’ve heard positive feedback about this shampoo. Supposedly, this shampoo makes your hair grow faster, thicker and healthier. Mane ‘n Tail was originally developed for use on horses but word soon spread about the great results it has on human hair. I’m still a little apprehensive, I mean come on - horse shampoo?

As I get older, I’ve noticed how my hair doesn’t grow as fast and it’s not as thick as it used to be. I know age is a factor but it worries me to see 10-15 loose hairs in my bathroom tub everytime I shower! Due to my partial lazieness, I never blow dry my hair (just air dry), I rarely straighten my hair, and most of the time I don’t even brush it. So it can’t be due to any of those factors.

I’ve been wanting to grow my hair out for the wedding but it’s taking forever. It’s been 6 months since I’ve stopped cutting my hair short. I’ve just been trimming and it’s maybe 2 inches longer. I haven’t decided what I would like to do for my hairstyle on the wedding day, but I’d like the option to do either all up or all down without any hair length issues.

I read Jennifer Aniston & Sarah Jessica Parker uses Mane ‘n Tail too. Me want some pretty long hair some day. :)

What are your thoughts on Mane ‘n Tail, any users?

PRE-NATAL (spelling?) vitamins!!!!!!!!! Ask your doc first though. I take them and within a week, my nails were growing faster and thicker and my hair was shiny and looked healthier. It was too early to see it grow. But after a couple weeks, my hair did grow faster. You can buy them in the vitamin section.

I tried this mane n’ tail shampoo - (which surprisingly smells okay) & it didn’t really help me at all (but I have fine hair). My hair is shoulder length & I want it to be LONG LONG LONG for my wedding…I stopped using it can’t hurt to give it a try…I also take pre-natal vitamins which are makin my nails grow like crazy but not my hair..however I am seeing less hair in the shower now…

i don’t use mane ‘n’ tail but i do recommend brushing your hair at least! i never did this either (i actually got a hair brush as a gift in college from a friend who was evil and hilarious), but the occasional brushing made a huge difference — redistribute oil, stimulate scalp and brushed out old, dry hair.

Actually, not brushing your hair could be one of the reasons it’s falling out. I have curly hair, so I rarely brush it and a lot falls out. I asked my hairdresser and she said that could be the reason :)

i used mane and tail shampoo when i was a kid, i don’t remember it making my hair grow faster.

i’ll have to try taking vitamins (i don’t take any vitamins, i just can’t remember to do it!), that’s a good suggestion.

my friend has the same issue w/ her hair & nail. her doctor suggest taking “TUMS” and eating more almonds (anything w/ high fiber).

I used Mane N Tail when I was younger. I don’t really remember it speeding up hair growth, but I enjoyed the results I got from it. I think I stopped using it when I started coloring my hair. But I agree that part of the reason that it may seem like you are losing a lot of hair is because the hairs you should normally lose throughout the day aren’t being brushed away until you shower. I have a handful of loose hair when I comb after my shower, but I still have just as much hair as I’ve always had.

I’ve been growing out my hair for the past year, and I have only gotten in trimmed once. I know that’s not very healthy, but most people’s hair grows 1/2 inch per month, and trims seem like they are about a 1/4 inch, so you might be able to double your hair growth if you can stand to not trim it.

It wouldn’t hurt to try Main N Tail but I think it’s important to have a balanced diet and definitely take your vitamins =)

I’ve been growing my hair out for two years now (since a horrible hair modeling gig gone awry) and everyone has told me to use it now that my hair is a bit longer. Some of my friends swear by it, but they already have gorgeous long flowing thick hair to start!

On average you lose 100 hairs a day. If you have curly hair, you’ll sometimes notice more, since loose hairs will be stuck in the curls after they’ve fallen out. It’s totally normal. 10-15 hairs in the shower is nothing to worry about.

Also, this is great shampoo.

I agree with others that the shampoo can’t hurt, but DEFINITELY try vitamins. Pre-natal, or I also noticed a difference when I was taking the GNC brand of “Hair, Skin & Nails”. Good luck!

How much time do you have before the wedding? Because, it sounds silly, but this worked for me: I cut my long hair to almost chin-length. My hair was then so healthy and shiny, that it grew extremely fast (like never before)! It’s been about a year now, and it’s about four inches till reaching my waist.

Other tips that may have contributed to my fast hair growth… I never used combs or brushes. I used my fingers to brush my hair (my brush just yanked away hair and broke it). I used gentle shampoos and expensive (but totally worth it…my hair feels like silk, and there are literally NO split ends) conditioners. I stopped blow-drying almost all together and other treatements that fry my hair. After shampooing, I use a gentle hair oil (it doesn’t leave my hair greasy or anything, just softer) to keep the frizz at bay, but if I really need hold, I use a gel. I avoid tying my hair up with anything that may break it (hair sticks will become your new best friend). I also stopped dying my hair. I haven’t trimmed since last December.

These are good tips for healthier hair… I mean, I personally think long hair is ugly if it is unhealthy, with ugly ends full with split ends…it totally kills the beauty of long hair.

Also..you need vitamis, of course. Healthy diet, lots of sleep.

Hope it helps. :-)

I don’t know if it is the golden solution to your specific problem, but I can assure you there is nothing to fear about the product. I was intrduced to it over 10 years ago….

I shed like crazy too. The longer my hair gets the more I shed. [I lose handfuls in the shower... it's alarming]. and I don’t really brush my hair either. I feel like I’m breaking the ends…… Mane & Tail also has a hoofmaker lotion [for the hoof of horse... or human fingernails. Not the best smelling, but great if you have brittle nails like me]

I started shedding about 2 months ago— so much hair loss, for no reason! Everyone told me it was stress… even the doctors. I told them the only thing stressing me was my damn hair falling out. With my wedding in October, I was ready to try anything. I was turned on to Nioxin- http://www.nioxin.com You can only buy it at salons. I usedit for about 2 weeks while wearing my hair up to stop it from falling out too much. When I started wearing it down again, people kept telling me how long and thick my hair looked. It did dry my hair a bit, and I used an additional conditioner to keep it healthy looking, but I’d swear by it. It also comes with a vitamin supplament with nutrients for healthy hair and nails.
Good Luch!
