Tangled mane Question

[Amykins]

Ok I've tried combing out the lugs at the base/bottom of Jack's mane, he's starting to look like he wants to grow dreadlocks,

I'm wondering if I should clip it down or should I leave it and try and not break my metal mane comb

I'm trying to comb it to get all the tangled hay out of it and make him look abit more respectfull and tidy

put baby oil on the mane it makes it so much easier to detangle, it works on my Arab whos mane is down to his shoulders and who lives out..

Plenty of detangler and use your fingers not a metal comb which will just rip the hair and tighten the tangle.

When my shetlands mane gets really tangled i give it a good wash then use lots conditoner (the morrisons basic one i found to be the best) then use a wide tooth comb that you would use on your own hair to comb through. Always worked for me, though i know its not the best time now as its going cold!!

Baby oil/detangler etc as above but don't forget to start at the ends and work back to the roots, otherwise you just push the tangle further down and an even bigger knot is formed. Get the end inch tangle free and silky smooth, then the next inch etc until finally you do the roots.
