Smart Grooming Silicone Plaiting Bands Tub of 1000
Description
Smart Grooming Silicone Plaiting Bands - Tub of 1000
Smart Grooming Silicone Plaiting Bands are soft, stretchy silicone bands supplied in a compact flip-top tub of 1,000, used to secure plaits in horses' manes, tails and forelocks. They are best for grooms, producers and riders who plait regularly for showing, dressage and everyday yard turnout, and they come in a choice of black, white or brown so the bands can be matched to the mane colour or used as a deliberate contrast.
Because the silicone stretches and grips without hard edges, the bands sit close to the plait and hold securely while staying easy to remove at the end of the day. The tub keeps 1,000 bands organised in one place rather than loose in the bottom of a grooming box.

How to Use
- Dampen the mane lightly and comb it to one side, then divide it into even sections using bands to hold each section.
- Plait each section down to the end, keeping the tension even.
- Wrap a silicone band around the bottom of the plait two or three times until it holds firmly without digging in.
- Roll or fold the plait up as required and secure with a second band, thread or tape depending on your preferred finish.
- To remove, ease the band off the hair or cut it carefully with a quick unpick, taking care not to cut the mane.
- Close the flip-top lid and clip the tub shut so the remaining bands stay contained in your plaiting kit.

FAQ
How many bands are in the tub?
Each tub contains 1,000 silicone plaiting bands, with a content weight of approximately 50 g.
What colours are available?
The bands are supplied in a choice of black, white and brown, so you can match the band to the mane colour or pick a contrast shade for a bolder show finish.
Will the bands snag or pull the mane?
The silicone bands have smooth edges and a comfortable stretch, which helps them hold securely without snagging the hair.
Can they be used on tails and forelocks as well as manes?
Yes. They suit manes, tails and forelocks, plus cornrows, ponytail accents and quick sectioning on different hair textures and thicknesses.
Are silicone bands reusable?
Silicone resists wear and keeps its elasticity after repeated use, so bands can often be reused if they are removed carefully rather than cut.
How should the tub be looked after?
Wipe it clean with mild soap and water and keep the lid closed between uses so the bands do not dry out or spill. These are not a toy - keep them away from children and animals when not in use.
