First impressions
I’ve used NAF products for several years so have good faith that this will be a useful and effective product. It looks like a versatile product to have on the yard. I liked the idea of it being a “deluxe” product, so was intrigued to see how it compared against the others in the group test.
Overview of performance
I was pleased with the performance of this spray. It definitely makes detangling manes and tails easier and leaves a silky feel. It has a very strong lavender smell, which I think would be very beneficial in the summer to help keep the flies at bay! I wouldn’t say it was a “deluxe” conditioning spray; more of a good, effective all-round product, which would be of benefit to any yard.
Likes and dislikes
I like the overall practicality and usefulness of this product. I did, however, find that it could make manes or tails greasy if you over did it on the spray. Less is more with this product, which also helps make the bottle last longer!
Verdict
A good all-round detangler spray that I would recommend.
