FREE: Elephant Hair Bracelet

The listing, Elephant Hair Bracelet has ended.

This is an adjustable bracelet made out of elephant hair. I purchased this piece of jewelry in Cape Town, South Africa.

The genuine African elephant hair bracelet will no doubt come across as a very pretty form of art and jewelry, but not many will be aware of the fact that this bracelet is seeped in legend and traditional significance. The legend of this bracelet dates back to about 1200 years. It is believed that people who wear this hair bracelet are protected against illnesses, misfortunes, and harm. In fact, the Africans believe that an elephant is the connecting factor between earth and heaven, thus giving the elephant bracelet even more significance.

Wash by hand, using minimal force. Using too much force and pressure to slide the knots might lead to the breakage of one or two strands of hair. Wash with normal hair shampoo or dog shampoo. Never put it in a washing machine, cause this will damage it beyond repair. Condition with a drop or two of hair conditioner after the wash. Make sure that each strand receives the conditioning by opening and closing each strand and treating it separately. Make sure that you wipe off any excess conditioner. By conditioning and maintaining the elephant bracelet the color will be protected. Otherwise the bracelet will dry out (since it is made from natural hair which contains oils) and the strands will start to break and split.

Thanks for looking!
