Plaiting with thread http://www.horsehero.com/1180/competition-turnout-and-travel/1714

Plaiting with both to enhance a weak neck http://www.horsehero.com/1180/competition-turnout-and-travel/5483

Personally I use bands because it's quicker & I don't like getting up early! I can do a mane & forelock in 15 mins now

Both
I use bands to secure the end of the plait and then sew them up as well.
If I use just bands I can be done quicker but I don't think they look as good.

Have never tried setting lotion but found cheap mousse/stlying gel works wonders

I use bands & can do it in 10 mins (looks like [****]) but its only unaffiliated prelim dressage & really pisses off the stuck up two faced bitch on the yard so its well worth having plaits that look ok if you are far enough away and squint LOL
