About the Brand
Mane ‘n Tail
Hair care solutions for longer, stronger, fuller, thicker hair.
How did it all begin? Those two particular products reached iconic status when the equestrian audience started using the shampoo and conditioner that they used on their horses, on themselves! “They told their friends, and then the word spread like wildfire,” – Devon B. Katzev, President of Straight Arrow
Originally, the product was created on the Katzev family horse farm in rural New Jersey. Straight Arrow was born when Mr. Katzev’s parents created Original Mane ‘n Tail Shampoo and Conditioner.
The line has since expanded to include multiple shampoos, conditioners, an all-in-one, leave-in treatments, styling/finishing aids and hand & nail treatments.
After using these products I have to say that my hair does feel softer to the touch. However I cannot report that my hair feels or looks thicker, nor does it seem to be growing at a faster rate. It’s a shampoo/conditioner set that I would recommend to anyone that can use it.
I checked on the website, and the makers (Straight Arrow) say that they do not test on animals and reading the ingredients it does not contain palm oil. Both of which are bonuses in my book. Also it’s safe to use on your pets if you need to be really frugal. But I doubt I will be giving the cats a bath in this stuff.
I used to use Mane and Tail ages ago and decided to try again after seeing good reviews.
So far I am glad that I did.
The bottles are a decent size and have the press down on one side openings.
The shampoo has a gentle scent, nothing overwhelming, and cleans my fine, quite long hair easily and thoroughly. I would suggest only using a small amount at a time.
The conditioner is similar – subtle scent, makes my frizz easier to comb through and seems to be helping with dryness.
Very reasonably priced, definitely worth a try.
Thanks for reading, I hope you find this review helpful.
5*Becasuse – Shampoo makes hair strong and Conditioner makes them soft, also the percentage of wax in the conditioner helps hair create a natural protective film against heat such as flat irons.
TRUE REVIEW – Mane ‘n Tail Shampoo and Conditioner – First time I used the product today and I must say I am AMAZED, by the quality of my hair, how soft, clean and shiny they are! I never want to use another shampoo/conditioner again! Great value for money! And of course I will order again and again!
This is a true and honest review,I bought them of course, I had never purchased any shampoo/conditioner online before and I did now because of the too many positive reviews which are absolutely true!
I want to grow my hair long and I feel that this product is really going to help!
I used to use this shampoo all the time. It leaves my hair feeling stronger and thicker and it gentle on my dry scalp. I don’t like to use this everyday/ every other day when I wash my hair, because I worry I will run out too quickly! The consistency of both are nice and thick so you don’t need to use too much product each time you use it.
The only issue I have with this is that it’s still quite pricey compared to my usual coconut shampoos and conditioner and it has the same effects.
Also the most recent time I purchased it, one of the bottles had leaked in the packaging so I lost a small amount and for the price you can’t really afford it.
If the price doesn’t bother you at all then this product is great but personally I can’t justify spending that much money every month just on shampoo.
The product itself, the shampoo has a very umm.. viscous texture haha. It took a bit of getting used to at first, it’s super lathery and doesn’t smell of much at all. Though I would say my hair smells nice after!
Basically I love this shampoo and conditioner, I’d be pretty devestated if I couldn’t buy it anymore. My mum is just about to start Chemo, the type that thins your hair and doesn’t make it fall out apparently. I’ve just stocked up on it for her after seeing some of the reviews where people have had Alopecia and it’s grown back.

******* EDIT – 11.05.16 *******
Hello!
Thought I would come back and edit my review. My mum is nearing the end of her chemo/radiotherapy treatment, she has 8 treatments left to go. She thinks that this shampoo is the best thing ever, her chemo wasn’t the type to make your hair fall out (unless you are really unlucky) but would most likely thin it quite a bit. She is 5 weeks into her treatment and her hair is incredible. She has been recommending this shampoo to lots of people at her hospital and work colleagues who are going through similar treatments. I was with her at the weekend and I have to say her hair looked lovely, thick and fluffy – Just how mine goes when using it. Hair loss has been minimal and hair thinning has been pretty mum non-existant. She did say that some of her grey hairs fell out but she won’t complain about that 😉

This is the first time I’ve ever written a product review for something I’ve bought online, so it goes to show just how awesome this product is.
Having recently moved to a house in a very hard water water area, I’d noticed that my hair (normally light blonde and very thin) was looking dull, limp and greasy due to all the minerals in the water.
In a desperate attempt to make it look better, I took to using a ‘lightening spray’ (I won’t mention any product names here) to boost my colour back to blonde again as I can’t afford to have it highlighted every couple of weeks. Little did I realise, this spray contains all manner of nasty things like peroxide, ammonia, etc.
Result: very damaged hair and one very grumpy hairdresser.
I won’t lie, when he recommended that I start using ‘horse shampoo’ to fix the dreadful mess on my head, I wasn’t overly amused (although that said, the kids found it HILARIOUS). I somewhat reluctantly made the purchase and thought I’d better give at a go, just to appease him…
So here I am, ten days on. My hair is amazing. It’s not looking dull and lifeless at all. I haven’t used the lightening spray for two weeks, but my hair (even the roots) are looking naturally blonder and there’s no hint of greasiness.
I won’t go so far as to say that it looks ‘thicker’ as such, but it’s definitely bouncier and feels really smooth. The lightening spray had coated some of my hair in a residue that felt almost sticky when my hair was damp. That had been going on for a couple of months, but the stickiness has completely disappeared and I have no trouble running a comb through my hair whatsoever.
This shampoo/conditioner is by far the best I’ve ever used and I won’t be changing to anything else (unless I’m ordered to in the future by my hairdresser).
To finish it off, I use a very small blob of Macadamia Natural Healing Oil Hair Treatment which I rub between my hands and run through the length and ends of my hair as a serum. (They sell it on Amazon, just type it into the search bar). It’s money well spent and is the perfect way to complement the ‘horse shampoo’ to give my hair an even smoother and shinier finish.
If you do nothing else today, then just for goodness sake follow everyone’s advice on here and buy some of this stuff. Give it a week to work it’s magic, and I reckon you’ll thank me for spending my lunch-break so wisely :-).
Happy shampooing!
Unfortunately my hair continued to thin until I was 19. After years of thinning and hair loss, my hair stopped growing all together in some sections of my head.
I went to a hair specialist, had multiple blood test to determine why my hair would not regrow. I made numerous diet changes, had several tablets and tried multiple products to get some hair growth, but nothing helped.
As a teenager my hair caused me anxiety. Having thin uneven hair meant I could never have my hair down. I was incredibly embarrassed. It is important to understand my past problems with my hair, to truly see how much Mane and Tale has ‘changed my hair life’
Since using Mane N tail, most of my hair has had its first growth cycle since I was 19. I am now 23. This has lead to a huge boost in self confidence. Half of my head now has baby hairs, which are a little bit annoying as I have curly hair, but I am so happy to see them that I don’t mind the tiny curls. The new hair is really soft and strong, because of this new growth I’m noticing all my hair at the root is thickening. The back of my head now has hair growing, which is a HUGE deal. I have gone from having just hair that reaches the top of my neck to just past shoulders. All of my hair is not level yet, as the back hair is only half way, but to have this much hair growth is phenominal to me. I still have to have my hair up, but the change is so dramatic I don’t mind.
I have been using this product for 3 months!
I am in no doubt that it is this product that has helped my hair grow, but I also don’t damage my hair if I can help it. I don’t use a hair dryer ever! I only brush my hair with a big hair conb. I only use my hair straighteners on special occasions. I have my hair up in a bun when at work and out, but when I am home I leave it down. I sleep with my hair in a French plate, this is to reduce knots. I also only wash my hair 3 times a week and only brush it after washed and conditioned. (I also have the spray stay in condition from Mane n Tail) I believe this has also helped with the dramatic growth I’m seeing.
Mane n tail is strengthening my hair, but it’s so important that I am leaving it alone. If you want the product to work you have to make sure that when your hair grows it stays. It’s a short term sacrifice for long term gain. You won’t see results if you don’t look after the hair.
Thank you mane n tail.
The shampoo itself is just amazing – it smells so clean and my hair feels so soft afterwards. I think the conditioner is the best part, though. My hair is really thick, so I have to use a lot to get it to go through, but the Mane ‘n’ Tail leaves it feeling really soft without any of that horrible residue, so my hair is protected from breakage and strengthened, which helps it grow faster. This was probably coupled with the fact that I stopped using all heat on my hair, and left the conditioner in for 2 minutes to let it absorb and sink in. My fringe grew from being just on my eyebrows to the bottom of my nose, so a good two inches in about 2 and a half months, but again I think this is because I coupled the Mane ‘n’ Tail with not using heat etc. Also, it’s worth rotating your shampoos, so use a bottle of this, and then go back to your old shampoo to keep the Mane ‘n’ Tail effective, as mine seems to be less effective the more I’ve used it.
I will say this though: even if you’re not growing your hair out, it’s worth getting because it’s just a really amazing shampoo!!
Well what can i say… i honestly really truly love this product !!! When i first heard of ‘Mane n Tail’, knowing that you can also use it on horses, did raise my eyebrow.. I have been trying to grow my hair and make it appear thicker ( i have blonde highlighted hair that has been damaged in the past), so it thought i would give this shampoo and conditioner a try. Ill be honest the smell of the shampoo is a little weird but thats the only negative thing i can say! This stuff makes my hair feel and look amazing, its so shiny, its thicker and it just looks more healthy. I have had numerous comments from friends saying ‘ wow your hairs grown’ or ‘how do you get your hair so shiny looking without it looking greasy!’. I am about to order my third lot and have been using this for 3/4 months now. I asked my hairdresser to see what his thoughts were on mane n tale and he thinks its great too! I really recommend anyone to try this shampoo + conditioner !! I wish i discovered this sooner as i feel so much more comfortable with my hair now.
What they do say (for the shampoo) is it will give you shiny, manageable hair, and yes I agree that’s what it did. The conditioner on the other hand didn’t make my hair look any thicker or healthier than it already did, but I think it works as a compliment to the shampoo, as in it helps with the shine and management, rather than working in its own right to give thicker and healthier looking hair. For me anyway, it may work differently for others.
Yes I’m pleased with the products and would buy again.
I wash my hair everyday because of my job (farmer), so my hair gets so dryed out and ive straightened my hair alot in the past and dyed it often but im trying to grow it all out natural and healthy really long no more straightening /dying and i heard this makes your hair grow faster but its better than i thought cz my hairs like brand new freshly grown hair its so healthy now and soft and has a nice shine to it yet its not greasy and just feels really gud which is shocking bcos the condition of my hair before i used this was soooo bad. Ive decided to stock up on this product and just ordered a few more bottles haha 🙂 plus my sisters asked me to order her a bottle too. Ive heard this product works best if you dont overload your hair with diff products n sprays cz it doesnt take everything out of your hair it trys to leave some of your natural oils in to stop it drying out n getting split so its not overly strong is the shampoo conditioner which is why its perfect on my hair cz i dont straighten it n use sprays or owt on it no more.
