Does this bow have real or synthetic hair? How is it attached?

All of our bows are haired with quality winter (thicker) Mongolian horse hair. We never use synthetic hairs as they are not biodegrable and the tone is inferior to horse hair. (It doesn't hurt the horse to give their tail or mane a trim for this purpose).

The hair is always installed with the standard wood plugs. Even with our carbon bows, the traditional methods for hair are used.

We don't use any nasty glues or cut corners with our bows like you will see at many shops. Not only does it add unnecessary weight to the tip of the bow, but it makes a rehair down the line impossible,

FYI: They are also re-haired by a qualified luthier same as any other bow. This should be done every 2 years or so for students and every 12 months for players who put in hundreds of hours into their bow.
