Manely Long Hair and Mooi Bug Balm
Hair care for your horse, dog and you!
Why we love Manely Long Hair
In one word: Honey! She's our white horse who does everything she can to get as dirty as she can. Every since we got her six years ago, keeping her clean has been almost impossible. Her mane and tail were not great; the hair was weak to the point where this past winter, her blanket really damaged her mane and the top of her tail.
In April 2024, we found Manely Long Hair at Horse Expo in Red Deer, Alberta. It claimed to not only keep hair clean, but to strengthen weak hair so it would grow thicker and stronger. We didn't expect it to work but we bought a starter pack anyway, almost out of desperation.
Fast forward to July 2024. We've used the products as directed and Honey has never looked so good! With regular sprays of conditioner each week, she stays clean even in mud and most manure stains brush out quite easily and don't stain. Her mane and tail are growing thick and long, and her whole body has an incredible shine.
The ingredients in these products are all natural and formulated to be absorbed into the hair to condition it instead of coating the outside of the hair strands, making it stronger and smoother and therefore able to repel dirt. Unconditioned hair has a rough surface that grabs onto dirt and manure. If the hair is healthy and conditioned, it's surface is smooth and shiny and dirt and manure slide off.
Besides keeping hair so clean, the products also help the hair become stronger and more resistant to breakage. Braiding and friction from blankets won't damage the hair because it will be very strong. Honey's mane, forelock and tail have never looked so good! They are shiny and the hair doesn't break anymore with brushing. We're excited to see how her mane and tail fare this winter under blankets (and looking forward to her hair being anti-static when we take her blankets off).
Why these products work so well
Oh Honey! She loves a good sweaty roll. After drying off and getting brushed!
The Manely Long Hair products (L to R):
Hydrate 24 Spray Bottle - calibrated mixing instructions for the Conditioner. This is a leave-in treatment and can be used daily to keep the hair clean and shiny.
Shampoo - clarifying Shampoo that strips away previous products and leaves the hair clean and ready to absorb the Conditioner. Use 1 oz per bucket of water.
Polisher* - leave-in product that keeps the hair shiny and smooth so that it can repel dirt and manure stains. Can be used alone on fetlocks to prevent snow balls from clinging in the winter or mud in the summer. (Honey gets diarrhea when she's in heat, so we use it on her hocks and butt to prevent staining.)
Conditioner* - use 1 ounce per bucket of water after shampooing, then rinse out. The conditioner is absorbed, leaving it smooth and shiny so it can repel dirt and manure.
Hydrate 24 Aerosol Applicator - especially good for horses that don't like spray. The aerosol is a gentle fine mist.
*Shock Treatment for damaged hair. It strengthens mane and tail hair, and helps it grow in strong so blankets and braiding don't damage it. To use, mix Conditioner and Polisher in a 1:1 ratio. Comb through mane and tail with fingers. Don't use a brush until you can easily run your fingers through both, to prevent breakage. Do it a couple of times a week, using 2-4 tbsp of mixture each time, until you can easily run your fingers through the hair. This might take a couple of weeks. (Honey's hair was so weak and damaged that it took about three weeks before we noticed a difference). After that, use only as much product as needed (maybe 1 tbsp) to keep mane and tail tangle free. Apply at base of mane and at dock of tail, then brush to distribute through the hair.
How to use for dogs
Manely Long Hair is safe for dog and human use too! Use the Shampoo and Conditioner as described above for your dog. Regular sprays of Conditioner will keep the hair static free. The Shock Treatment keeps your dog's legs and belly hair clean after muddy or snowy walks.
(Note: the Aerosol applicator is perfect for daily sprayings of the leave-in diluted conditioner).
