NAF Silky Mane & Tail Detangling Spray

Work the tail from the bottom upwards, in small sections of hair. That way you pull less on the tail base and you give the spray time to work before moving the comb higher up. For a horse that is wary of sprays, spray the detangler onto your brush or your hand and apply it that way.

NAF asks you to carry out a 24-hour patch test before first use and not to apply the product to broken or irritated skin. The brand states that an allergic reaction is possible. For external use, for animal use only. Store the bottle upright, protected from frost and below 40 °C.

This 750 ml bottle suits one or two horses and riders who comb through mane and tail daily or a few times a week. You use it while grooming, after washing and before you start plaiting, in every discipline.

If you groom several horses or get through a lot, the NAF Silky Mane & Tail Navulling in 2.5 L is the logical alternative: same product, larger size. For a thorough wash first, choose the NAF Show Off Shampoo or the NAF Teatree & Mint Shampoo, which you do rinse out. If you are plaiting, the NAF Vlechtmousse gives grip rather than slip.

Spray the detangler directly onto the mane or tail, or onto your brush if your horse dislikes sprays. Then comb through, working the tail from the bottom upwards. No rinsing needed. NAF asks for a 24-hour patch test before first use and for the product not to be applied to broken or irritated skin. External use, for animal use only.

Do I need to rinse this detangler out?
No. NAF describes no rinsing step: you spray, comb through and leave the product in.

Can I use it on the mane and on the tail?
Yes, NAF states both. Comb the tail from the bottom upwards.

My horse is wary of sprays. Is there another way?
Yes. NAF itself notes that you can spray the product onto the brush and apply it that way.

What is in Silky Mane & Tail?
NAF names rosemary oil, lavender oil and the preservatives 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one and 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one. The brand does not publish a full INCI list.

Is there a larger pack?
Yes. NAF offers the same detangler in 750 ml and in 2.5 L. The large size has its own page with us.

What should I watch out for before first use?
NAF advises a 24-hour patch test and asks you not to apply the product to broken or irritated skin.

May I use this at a competition?
NAF makes no statement about this. Check your own federation's rules if you want certainty.
