This sounds like fun! First, I'll learn to do 8 and 12 strand braids. I notice that the horsehair is also available in longer lengths, but not long enough. After all, a horse's tail is only so long.
When you are making up a strand, or 'pull' as they call it, you will have to add horsehairs to get long lengths. I think this is called "marrying". You 'marry' in a horsehair when one runs out. Of course, you don't want to marry all the horsehairs in one spot, it would weaken the strand.
