Leovet 5 Star Braiding Gel for Horse Manes
Description
Leovet 5 Star Braiding Gel — Neat Plaits That Hold
Leovet 5 Star Braiding Gel is a silicone-free mane gel that helps plaits stay in place for longer while caring for the hair. It is best for riders and grooms who plait for showing, dressage, eventing or smart turnout, and for anyone managing a long, thick or slippery mane.
The gel has been specially developed to disentangle long hairs, giving the mane better body and more hold for braiding without stickiness. Rub a small amount into the mane before plaiting to encourage grip, then plait as normal.

FAQ
Does Leovet 5 Star Braiding Gel contain silicone?
No. The gel is silicone free.
Will it leave the mane sticky?
No. It is designed to give body and hold for braiding without stickiness, so thread, needles and bands still pass through the hair easily.
How much should I use?
Rub a small amount into the mane before plaiting. Start with a little and add more only if the hair needs extra grip — over-applying makes sections harder to divide.
Can I use it on the forelock and tail?
It is intended for the mane, and the same technique works on the forelock. For tails and general detangling, the 5 Star Detangler Spray in the same range is the companion product.
Is it suitable for ponies and native breeds?
Yes. It suits horses and ponies of any type, and is particularly useful on thick or unruly manes that are difficult to keep in even sections.
Can I use it the day before a show?
Yes. Many riders apply it when plaiting the night before, as it helps plaits stay in place for longer.
