Keep your horse’s mane and tail soft, shiny, and strong without harsh chemicals. With a few natural ingredients, you can create a DIY detangler that protects hair from breakage while being safe for everyday use.

Ingredients

  • Distilled Water – Base for hydration
  • Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl – Light emollient for smooth hair
  • Panthenol – Adds shine and moisture
  • Abyssinian Oil – Deep conditioning and silky feel
  • Argan Oil – Reduces tangles and adds gloss
  • Rosehip Oil – Nourishes hair and supports growth
  • Silk Protein – Strengthens and protects mane and tail

Instructions

  1. Pour distilled water into a clean mixing container
  2. Add hydrogenated ethylhexyl and stir until blended
  3. Mix in abyssinian, argan, and rosehip oils — a few drops each
  4. Add panthenol and silk protein for extra shine and strength
  5. Pour into a spray bottle and shake well before each use
  6. Spray lightly on mane and tail and gently comb through

Tip: Always do a patch test on a small section of hair first to ensure your horse tolerates the mixture.

Why This Works

  • Hydrates and conditions without silicones
  • Reduces tangles and breakage
  • Strengthens hair naturally
  • Safe for daily use
