Smart Grooming Plaiting Mousse for Horse Manes
Description
Smart Grooming Plaiting Mousse - Extra Strong Hold for Neat Plaits
Smart Grooming Plaiting Mousse is a lightweight mane mousse that gives extra-strong hold for tidy, long-lasting plaits and braids. It is designed for riders, grooms and producers who want secure, professional-looking plaits for shows, competitions or everyday turnout, on horses, ponies, cobs and warmbloods.
The formula dries to a light tack that grips the hair without leaving a sticky residue, while a conditioning blend of Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E smooths the mane and adds subtle shine. It is best for slippery or fine manes that refuse to hold a plait, and equally useful on thick manes that need controlling.
Key Features
- Extra strong hold - keeps plaits and braids neat through activity and wear, ideal for competition, shows or daily turnout.
- Nourishing blend - Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E condition, smooth and add shine without weighing hair down.

FAQ
Does plaiting mousse work on a freshly washed mane?
Yes. It can be applied to a damp mane after washing or to a dry mane, so it fits either routine. Many people find a slightly damp mane easiest to section.
Will it leave the mane sticky or greasy?
No. The formula dries to a light tack that gives grip without a sticky residue, and the conditioning oils are lightweight so the hair keeps a natural feel.
How much should I use?
Start with a small amount per section and build up only if needed. Using less keeps the finish natural and avoids build-up at the roots.
Can I use it on the tail and forelock?
Yes. The same method works for forelock plaits and plaited or sewn tails - work it from roots to ends before plaiting.
Is it suitable for ponies and cobs with thick manes?
Yes. It suits horses, ponies, cobs and warmbloods. Thick manes benefit from the control and fly-away smoothing, while fine, slippery manes benefit from the extra grip.
How do I remove it?
Take the plaits out carefully, brush the mane through and shampoo as normal. Avoid leaving plaits in for long periods to protect the hair.
