The Smart Grooming Flat Waxed Plaiting Thread is an essential tool for equestrians seeking a professional, secure, and long-lasting finish for horse plaits. Ideal for competition riders who demand precision, this 0.8mm thick thread provides superior grip and tension, though users must be careful to handle the waxed finish gently to prevent buildup on equipment or clothing.

Yes, its 0.8mm thickness and waxed coating make it highly effective for both fine and coarse, thick manes.
No, it is designed to be color-neutral and will not leave pigment residue on the hair.
Depending on the number of plaits and the frequency of competition, a 270m roll typically lasts an entire season for one or two horses.
You should use a standard upholstery or plaiting needle with an eye large enough for 0.8mm thread.
Store in a clean, airtight container or grooming bag away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Ensure you are using a consistent tension and check that the flat side of the thread is flush against the mane.
Ensure the needle eye is clean and smooth; if it is rough, the eye may be stripping the wax or fiber.
Wash hands with warm, soapy water after use to remove excess residue.
To get the most out of your thread, ensure your plaiting needle has a sufficiently sized eye to accommodate the 0.8mm thickness. To maintain the quality of the thread, keep the spool in a cool, dry place inside a closed grooming kit to avoid debris collecting on the wax coating. If the thread becomes overly warm, the wax may soften; simply let it cool briefly to restore its ease of handling. Avoid pulling the thread over sharp metal edges, as this can strip the wax coating and weaken the fibers.
