[edit] lack of care

lack of care also prevents hairs from splitting and breaking

How can lack of care prevent hairs from splitting? The Wednesday Island (talk) 18:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that did sound weird, especially in the lead, so I tossed it. However, I think the point trying to be made is that some people who brush and comb a horse's mane to excess (especially with a mane comb) can wind up, just like human hair that gets over-styled, with split ends. Most folks trying to grow a super long mane keep it braided all the time, and very carefully hand-pick it out when unbraiding and rebraiding. I'll give the article a more thorough look over later and see if that detail is mentioned eleswhere. Montanabw^(talk) 17:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
