What is a Zipper Pull?
A Zipper Pull is a device allowing persons with limited function to fasten zippers on clothing[110]. Add some fun to your clothes, purse, luggage, or any boring zipper. These pulls allow you to easily use the zipper by extending the length of the slider. The braided horse hair dangles from the attached metal lanyard spring clip so you can find and open or close your zipper in extreme conditions with ease. The zipper pull is great for those with arthritis, weakness, injury or other disability. The spring clip can be attached (and detached) in seconds onto any regular zipper lock with bare hands requiring no special tools or skills.

What is Horse Hair?
Horsehair is the long, coarse hair growing on the manes and tails of horses. Horsehair can be very stiff or very fine and flexible, mane hair is generally softer and shorter than tail hair.

Horse hair is the only kind of hair that is harvested without killing the animal. The hair comes from the mane or tail. Think of it as a haircut. The barber doesn’t kill you to lower your ears[56]. Horse hair is strong. Items made from it lasts for years, if not decades!

French braid starts with three small sections of hair near the crown of the head, which are then braided together toward the nape of the neck, gradually adding more hair to each section as it crosses in from the side into the center of the braid structure. These are actually a simple three strand braid where all the hair is initially divided into three equal sections where one outside strand across the center strand and then pass the other one across the center one.

Prior to this find, the beads found in the Blombos Cave were the oldest at about 72,000 years old[5]. Round is the most common shape of beads.
