Sprinage Spa Oil
 |
To start even before even picking up any product off the shelf I am always quite cautious as to what is actually contained inside the bottle.What initially drew me to the Sprinage range is the appeal of being able to use a hair product on both skin not just hair: not many products on the market today offer that.
As my fascination grew about this product I started to research more and to my surprise found out that inside the oil is ocean placenta which is known for its anti ageing and strengthening properties not to mention the other cocktail of macadamia,Morrocan and a high potency olive oil blend.Just two drops of this magic oil overnight and the next day my hair felt noticeably softer and more robust.
Unlike other oils it doesn't weigh your hair down and leave it with an feeling overly greasy but instead spa oil leaves you pleasantly refreshed with soft floral notes of bergamot and Lavender oil.

Arimino Sparkling Foam
 |
If the term squeeky clean ever had a physical form this would be it, The innovative foam delivery system gets right in between the cuticles of the hair strands to lift out any impurities and flush out grime and built up residue. Once small application is all that is needed, once in your palm the carbonated foam expands to form an airy mousse like texture that easily runs through your hair.
The company Arimino boasts that just one can of this stuff can be used over 30 times, but from my experience you can easily get 40 plus washes which is quite impressive.The real selling point of this product however is the hydrolyzed elastin content inside which really helps to hydrate and moisturise the scalp keeping it firm and healthy. This is truly the bees knees of premium hair care; not only will it give your a scalp & hair a thorough cleanse but you will leave you feeling refreshed like fresh laundry blowing in the summer breeze.

Caretrico Privy Range
Care-trico Privy is the newest wet line from Arimino made popular for their nutritive and reparative properties that deliver exceptionally well-treated hair. Interestingly enough the shampoos work so well that after just one use the shampoo can rid dandruff by up to 85% even without using the treatment .
The range is dynamic too providing options for all different hair types. For those with Thick/coarse hair the slim through is recommended as it is infused with amino acids to coat the surface of the hair, creating manageability and suppleness and preventing frizz. On the opposite end those with fine/delicate hair can use the airy Bounce which contains a new element ß-naphtalene sulfonic acid otherwise known as (B-NSA); which builds the core of the hair and gives it more elasticity granting the user greater control of unmanageable hair.
Privy smells great too a little like fresh roses. Last in the line up is the moist sleek specifically designed for dry/damaged which is infused with hydrolyzed collagen to repair and promotes water retention in the hair, creating for a soft, silky and flexible texture; It also works great as a deep conditioning treatment or mask.

First up is the D1 shampoo/mask which (cointains polyglutamate) to repair hair, keeping it moist and produces a soft natural and fluffy style.This duo is best suited for soft, thin and tangle free hair types
Next is the D2 which is suitable for curly hair, where it provides protein for your hair (contains catechin polyphenol) which

Last in the line up is Arimino's Sherpa Design Supple D3 , which contains a generous blend of honey inside which moisturises and enhances the hair's water retention capacity .It works particularly well on thick, hard and coarser hair types. D3 has a rich berry rose scent which is not too overwhelming and leaves a subtle and long lasting linger of grape candy with hints of citrus in between.
