Common Questions
Q: How do I collect my horsehair?
A: Take the longest hairs from the middle of the tail, just below the tailbone. Cut two small amounts from different spots close to the tailbone. The final bundle should be about the width of a pencil and at least 10 inches long.
Secure the hair with a rubber band, then place it in a Ziploc bag and write your name, phone number, and order number on the outside. This lets us match your horsehair to your order and start creating your special keepsake!
Q: How do you size the bracelets?
A: For the most accurate measurement, use a soft measuring tape or dental floss to measure your wrist. To determine your bracelet size, take your exact wrist measurement and add 1.25 inches.
For example:
This will be your finished bracelet length, including all hardware, ensuring a comfortable fit, not too tight, not too loose.
