I recently had some elephant hair bracelets made with Gold knots that i like a lot. I hope it lasts a while.

Curious if any of you have experience on what to put on it, oil, etc. to keep it from drying out as all hair will eventutually do.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry

I just gave my bracelets a little bit gun oil (ballistol). When they become matte I repeat it. (about every 2-3 weeks). After one and a half year they still look good.
Can you please post a picture of the Gold Knots? Never saw one. A jewelery made it?

Food grade mineral oil works well.

Good old hand lotion works well too. After all this is Hair.

Yes, i will take a photo and post them. Peter Hepburn in Kasane makes the bracelets from gold filled wire that you see in many conventions. These are the same but with my elephant hair and he has tied the knots in gold filled wire. they look nice but you virtually have to get them there as they cannot be shipped.

Thanks all for feedback.

Lubriderm has seemed to work for me, I have had one last 8 years with frequent wear.

Madiline Kay, the safari jewelry maker told me years ago to use hair conditioner about once a month, and I have several that are over 15 yrs old, and only one has a broken strand!
