The boy currently has quite a long mane with along of whispy bits at the ends. This makes plaiting hard as i always seem to have fans or actually getting it into a bun hard as the end of the plait sticks out within the plait. Very frustrating!
Also sox seems to have short thicker mane at the top and as i go along his Mané it gets longer and very thin then just after the middle really thick then back to thin again.
I have to use a sólo comb as he doesnt like it been pulled or with a knife.
Anyone offer advice.
Oh! Last time i pulled his Mané i got a bit carried away and it became a showjumping Mané it was that short!
 
Haha definitely decide how long you want it first and don’t be tempted to ‘fix’ any slightly shorter bits ? remember less is more sometimes!

I use a solo comb on Harvey to sort out the length, but I also have a solo rake for thinning it out a bit
