Smart Grooming Plaiting Wax Stick with Argan Oil
Description
Smart Grooming Plaiting Wax - Conditioning Argan Oil Wax Stick for Neat, Defined Plaits
Smart Grooming Plaiting Wax is a conditioning wax stick that grips the mane while you plait, smoothing flyaways and adding definition to every section. It is made for riders, grooms and show producers who plait horses and ponies and want the hair to stay put instead of slipping out mid-plait.
Infused with argan oil, the formula nourishes the hair as you style, so it is best for long plaiting sessions ahead of a show, for tidying full manes on native ponies and traditionals, and for anyone who finds dry, fluffy manes hard to control. The push-up base keeps application precise and mess-free on the yard.
Key Features
- Grip where you need it: Wax-based formula holds each section so plaits stay neat and do not slip as you work.
- Argan oil conditioning: Moisturises and supports healthy hair while you style, reducing dryness during long plaiting sessions.
- Smooths flyaways: Tames loose hairs for clear, defined lines along the crest.
- Push-up stick: Twist the base up for controlled, mess-free application - no pots, no sticky fingers.
- Beyond plaiting: Also useful for taming flyaway hair on full manes, native ponies and traditionals.
- Yard and show bag friendly: Compact stick format travels easily for last-minute touch-ups.

FAQ
What does plaiting wax actually do?
It adds grip to the mane so sections stay in place while you plait, smooths flyaway hairs and gives clear, defined lines in the finished plait.
Is Smart Grooming Plaiting Wax suitable for thick native manes?

What is in the formula?
Water, Microcrystalline Wax, Argan Oil, Paraffin Wax, Glycerol Stearate, Bentonite, DMDM Hydantoin and Parfum. The argan oil conditions the hair while you style.
How do I apply it without making a mess?
Push the stick up from the base so only a little wax is exposed, then stroke it along the mane from root to ends. The stick format means you do not need to dip your fingers into a pot.
How do I remove the wax afterwards?
Take the plaits out and wash the mane through with your usual equine shampoo, working the lather right down to the roots, then rinse thoroughly.
Can it be used on tails?
It is intended for mane and tail hair, so it can be used to smooth flyaways at the top of a plaited tail. Keep it away from the eyes and do not apply to broken skin.
