Dear Customers To customers new and old. We are experiencing constant high demand for our hair so this will obviously lengthen the waiting time we normally say (28 days) As of the 8th of March 8 weeks is the current waiting time. So we ask you to please place your orders well in advance so not to be disappointed. You may not know that we pick ALL orders on a "first come first served" basis, and the time taken for a single 500g bundle can be as long as 4-5 hours, we DO NOT carry ready picked stock. So please expect a wait. We will not rush just to complete the orders quickly!

There are many companies and individuals around the world who supply bow hair and claim that ‘theirs is the best that money can buy’. They often make unfounded statements about its origins and properties. If you were to ask them to take out all the damaged, kinky, chalky and curly hairs and tie the bundle back up, this might prove difficult, simply because they are merchants and not horsehair dressers. These merchants are in the market solely to buy as cheap as they can, and then sell for as much as possible. This can sometimes mean profits of up to 700% from buying hair and selling it on. Hi, I'm Michael T. Sowden, a Yorkshireman born on 4th July 1944 who started work as a horse hair dresser at 15 years old. I am now 63 and have therefore spent 48 years at my trade. I have 3 sons, Michael Jnr, Mark and Phillip, who all began working and training with me when they left school in order to carry on this very rare trade when I retire.  Michael T. Sowden
