Since starting Cosmetology, I have heard claims of the miracle shampoo and conditioner, Mane and Tail. Person after person would say to me, “If you want your hair to grow fast, use this stuff!!” I jump for anything that involves speedy hair growth, so I tried it as soon as I could get my hands on it.
I used Mane ‘n Tail for about two months and although it didn’t really make my hair grow great lengths, I did notice some other likable changes. For instance, immediately after my first use, my hair was softer than ever before. I couldn’t keep my hands off it! Another plus - the conditioner can be used as a rinse-out or leave-in. I use it as both, just to get a little extra softness.
One problem I have with my hair is dullness. after so many color experiments I have been left with no shine. However, after about a week or two, my hair was anything but dull! This stuff really does work miracles! I couldn’t help but stare at myself every time I looked in the mirror. My hair looked fresh, soft and oh-so shiny.
In the end, I was definitely satisfied with my results. The product did all the things it claimed to do on the label: more body, volume, shine, manageable, everything! As for the “miracle grow,” I guess I’d have to keep using it longer, but it could possibly be just a silly rumor.
I give it 4/5 stars…Oh, and yes, it IS a horse shampoo, but don’t worry - it smells pretty good!

I completely agree with this review. My boyfriend used this product and his hair was super soft and smelled great! He said that he noticed it growing faster, but I think that’s just how his hair is.
Good topic though, I hear rumors about this product all the time.
Hi Amber,
I remember when the whole Mane and Tail thing got popular. Years before it gained main stream popularity it was what all the girls used after washing their horses mane and tail. After a full day a riding it was nice to wash to able to wash your own hair and the product turned out to be good for people two.
I haven’t used it for myself in a while but I still use it on my horses ;o) .
Great blog by the way!
[...] Cailin • May 24, 2008 Amber mentioned having problems with dullness in her hair recently, so I thought a post about some solution might be of use both to her and any of my readers [...]
