Hello Doc,
I recently dyed a tail of horse hair using the stove and pot method. It was not difficult for me
at all. Just keep stiring until you have the shade of color you want. I used powdered Rit dye which
also comes in liquid form.
As for buying undyed horse hair, it's very cheap ! Look for it on eBay under the "Crafts" section.
You can buy enough for as little as $10, $15, or $20 (USD).
I haven't made a horse hair crest but if I wanted one I would certainly make it myself. It isn't that difficult and it's cheaper. But I did buy two horse hair crests from Lawrensnest for a great price. You should check with them to see if they can get you one. They got two for me in red and undyed.
Good luck !
