a horse story
i just bought horse shampoo. there’s probably nothing very unusual about that. except for the fact that i do not own a horse. not even a picture of it.
four nurses at work swear by it, and believe it or not, their thick, shiny hair made me really green with envy. for weeks now i have been bugging them to tell me they were kidding, but they won’t budge.
i circled the shampoo aisle three times. i picked and returned the bottles a few times, that people buying people shampoo were probably thinking there was something wrong with me. i must admit that’s what i think about the whole thing, but the desire for beauty knows no reason, and an envious spirit defies logic.
so, yeah, there is horse shampoo in our bathroom.
and oh, just so you know, to double my chances of having thicker, shinier hair, i got the conditioner too. wish me luck, and cross your fingers that using a horse’s shampoo will make me run faster, and sexier too. the foamy, copious drool on the horse’s mouth, that’s another story.
check on me in a couple of weeks, i might need your recommendations on where to get those really fancy horseshoes.


I have horse shampoo too. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with my kind of hair, fine textured. It works okay on dogs, though.

I use the main and tail shampoo for horses and the conditioner May. I have naturally curly THICK hair and while I don’t use it everyday, when I do…it makes my hair really soft.
When you start asking for oats and carrots I’ll start to worry bout your crazy ass.

I bought some of that once, too. People swear it’s the greatest thing. It didn’t work for my kind of hair either, fine hair too. If it works, use it!

it’s last year’s “IN” thing… and a lot of people are still using it over here

Don’t be embarrassed, I know a lot of people that use main and tail shampoo. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, and what works for horses can work for people, too.
I get embarrassed when I buy Bag Balm to treat my chapped hands.

I remember trying this YEARS ago - but don’t remember the results (couldn’t have been that good, I guess). Be sure to let us know how it turns out!

I heard it can make your hair grow faser. Does anyone have experience with this?

[…] anyway, the horse shampoo is working. the proof to that declaration is the fact that while waiting in line to order our every three weeks cholesterol and fat fix at costco (hotdogs, churros, pizza), the lady behind me, asked if i don’t mind telling her what i do with my hair, because “it looks really pretty and shiny”. her words, not mine. i told her about the shampoo, and she swore she will go and try it. in my 37 years of existence, nobody (not even the people i pay to say good things about me) has ever said anything nice about my hair. not even one. so there, i am a horse shampoo endorser now, and i have this shiny, thicker hair to prove it.

Sorry, it just sounds like a crazy idea for me

It’s not “horse shampoo” that you’re using.
Main N Tail was a company that made horse shampoo that worked wonders on horse coats. They realized their success and decided that people would pay for similar results on their own hair. They did some tests and created a human friendly version that is made for humans with directions for humans - intended for human use. (otherwise you wouldn’t be able to find it in the ‘people’ shampoo aisle)
What your using is typical, everyday, human shampoo which happens to be made by the same company that makes horse products.
