Many thanks for the answer.Baby shampoo by Johnson and Johnson, warm water. Horse hair is much coarser and easier to do. The one I did years ago was a white one from a Bavarian officer helmet. I would think long and hard about this before trying it, you will lose hair. If you watch movies of military parades from this era these things are blowing all over the place in a wind. They must have been a problem even then.
Yes, I'm torn about what to do.It really seems to have been a problem in imperial times too. I want to do as little to the parade bush as possible and maintain its condition. First I will try to carefully brush out a strand of hair with a very soft baby brush. Maybe I'll come to a result that doesn't look as messy as it does now.
Best Regards
