Their high-elasticity silicone construction provides consistent tension, making them ideal for both daily training and high-stakes competition preparation.

FAQs

How many bands come in a pack?

Each pack contains approximately 500 silicone bands.

Are these bands reusable?

While durable, these bands are intended for single use. Reusing them may compromise their elasticity and security.

Will these bands break the horse's mane hair?

Silicone is gentle, but you must cut them off rather than pulling them through the hair to maintain mane health.

Are there different colors available?

Yes, Smart Grooming offers these bands in white (PLAIT002), brown (PLAIT003), and black (PLAIT001) to match different coat or mane colors.

Can I use these on thin manes?

Yes, their high elasticity makes them excellent for thin manes where maintaining a tight hold is otherwise difficult.

Troubleshooting

Band snaps during application

Ensure the plait section is not too thick; silicone is strong but has a limit to its maximum diameter expansion.

Band is difficult to remove

Use a specialized plait removal tool or small safety scissors to snip the band; never attempt to slide a silicone band off a braided section.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable silicone material resists snapping
  • High elasticity ensures a secure fit for thick or thin sections
  • Generous 500-count pack size for long-term value
  • Easy to manage and apply during quick grooming sessions

Cons

  • Silicone material requires care when removing to prevent hair breakage
  • Color is limited to specific white, brown, or black variants
  • May be more difficult to cut out compared to standard rubber bands

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply, section the mane into even parts and roll or fold your plait as desired. Use one or two wraps of the silicone band to secure the end of the plait.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the bands in a cool, dry place to maintain elasticity.
  • When removing, do not pull the bands out aggressively. Use a seam ripper or small safety scissors to cut the band cleanly to avoid pulling or snapping your horse's mane hair.
  • Compatible with all standard mane textures and lengths.
