Mane & Tail Pin Brush

Ball-tipped metal pins on a cushioned rubber pad, with a long beechwood handle for leverage — it detangles the mane and tail without pulling hair out.

General care guidance.

After each use

Pull the loose hair out from between the pins.
Wash occasionally

Lukewarm water and mild soap on the pins; keep the wooden handle dry.
Dry pins-down

Let it air-dry pins-down so water doesn’t collect in the cushion.
Store in the bag

Keep it in the bag so the pins stay straight.
