Remember my daily routine I
shared on Christmas Day and that little portion I talked about Horse Oil? I
recently received a review invite for Mane ‘N Tail Shampoo & Conditioner. I’ve
seen this on the shelves of retail stores many times but I have never tried it
before. Because of the BAHYU craze, my initial thought when I received this
invite was that this shampoo is made from Horse Oil and was super excited to
try it given my previous ‘success’. But, I was wrong… Not too wrong, just wrong.
I think I
mentioned previously that Horse Oil is actually the extracted fat beneath the
horses’ mane. So technically, a healthy mane is necessary for good quality
horse oil – which brings me to my review herein. Mane ‘n Tail
Shampoo & Conditioner!

Mane ‘n Tail
shampoo formulae contains high lathering and ultra-cleansing agents that are
fortified with moisturisers and emollients to help leave hair soft and ultra
clean. In fact, I read that the initial product was designed for horses and
hence the name, Mane ‘n Tail.
- Original formula is the formula that started it all. The popular formula contains emollients providing body, shine and manageability for healthy looking hair every time you shampoo.
- Herbal-Gro formula is the complete hair care system that is formulated with natural herbs blended with an olive oil complex to nourish, strengthen, and fortify hair from root to tip.
- Deep Moisturizing formula is micro-enriched with deep hydrating botanicals and naturally locks in moisture while fortifying your hair with Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B
After cleansing
with shampoo, you should follow up with a conditioner that can help to nourish
and promote healthy hair growth. I’ve friends who tell me that they reject
using conditioner because it will dry out their hair more, create dependency
for your hair, etc. Frankly, I don’t see how you can not condition your hair,
especially if your hair is long and way beyond your shoulders.
Imagine this.
When you have long hair past your shoulders, your hair actually rests on your back. When sitting or walking, no matter how small the actions, your hair actually rubs against your shoulders creating friction that causes your hair to tangle. Even with a Tangle Tweezer, it’s bound to be a painful combing experience trying to untangle those tiny knots at your hair ends. If you have short hair that is above your shoulders, I believe that so long as your hair is healthy, it is not absolutely necessary to apply conditioner.
Anyhow, Mane ‘n
Tail series are actually enriched with protein formulae to help prevent hair
breakage that causes splits ends and also aid in repairing the ends for
stronger, longer and more lasting hair. When hair tangles and when we untangle
them, most of the time, the ends are already damaged and will sometimes cause
split ends. Doesn't this shampoo and conditioner sound amazingly good? What’s
more, some believe that the Mane ‘n Tail shampoo encourages hair growth. For
the few of us that parted our hair a little too tough, we will have that little
patch of emptiness and “Encouraging Hair Growth” in a shampoo sounds just about
FANTASTIC.

Personally, out
of the different formulae, I prefer the Herbal-Gro the most. Not just because it is green in colour. But if you can see from the chart above, with the limited time I have with these products, I preferred the HerbalGro the most because it is a combination to die for. Hahaha. Strengthening of your hair strands, Moisturising and nourishing your hair from root to tip. What is there not to love? Especially for the few of us that stays in Singapore and are exposed to the harsh and sudden changes in weather, this formula is the best you can ever ask for.
By the way. Did I forget to mention how amazed I am that you can use the Original conditioner as a leave-on as well? Yes, you read right and you will read the same thing on the bottle as well. The Original conditioner can be used as a regular shampooing conditioner and at the same time, it can also be used as a leave-on for your hair.
A little goes a long way. There is no need for too much product to be used. Imagine this,
Depending on your hair length, estimate approximately a 10c coin for short hair. A 50c coin for mid-length hair. and approximately two 20c coins for hair past beyond the shoulders should use an approximate amount of 2 20c
coins.
Anyhow. Just remember to
lather the shampoo, apply, rinse, and apply conditioner before rinsing it off
again. Or you can choose to leave-on the conditioner for the Original conditioner. Hahaha. Awesome right?
