Leovet 5-Star Detangler 550ml

Spray onto a clean mane and tail. Over sand and sweat the product sits on the dirt instead of the hair. Work the tail from the bottom up, strand by strand, and do not pull through a knot: hold above it with your hand and free the end first.

Use it as a fixed part of your routine rather than only on competition days. Leovet links the protection against dust and dirt to use over several days, so you get more out of it when the tail is already smooth before it gets dirty.

Keep the detangler out of the girth area and away from the saddle region, and do not spray the section of mane you intend to plait. There you want grip, not smooth hair.

This detangler suits horses with long, thick or quickly tangling manes and tails, and riders who groom daily and want to keep the tail intact.

If you want shine over the whole coat rather than targeted mane and tail care, Leovet Coat Sheen & Tangle Free in 550 ml is the better fit. For a large pack or a refill, the alternatives with us are the Stübben Brush On Detangling Spray in 2.5 L and the NAF Silky Mane & Tail Navulling of 2.5 L. If you are plaiting, take the Leovet 5-Star Vlechtgel.

Spray onto a clean, dry or lightly damp mane and tail, then comb or brush through from the ends towards the roots. Leave the girth area and saddle region dry. For this item leovet gives no dosage, dwell time, warnings or storage advice, and does not say whether it needs rinsing out, so follow the label. Keep the bottle cool, dry and out of direct sunlight and clean your combs after use.

What is this detangler for?
To make mane and tail comb through quickly, to add shine, and to keep dust and dirt off the hair for days according to leovet.

What do arginine, Pentavitin and provitamin B5 do?
Leovet calls arginine an essential hair nutrient that supports hair growth, Pentavitin from wheat a plant-derived moisture binder that attaches to the horse's own keratin, and provitamin B5 a component that improves moisture retention and adds shine and suppleness.

How much is in the bottle?
550 ml, the size leovet offers for this item.

Do I need to rinse it out?
Leovet gives no instruction on this. The product is meant to be sprayed on and combed through; otherwise follow the label.

Where does the ninety per cent figure come from?
From leovet: ninety per cent of testers named 5-Sterne Striegel their favourite detangler, in a test against comparable hair care products on the market.

Is this product allowed at competitions?
In its own doping list, leovet shows 5-Sterne Striegel as ADMR compliant with no withdrawal period. Also check your federation's rules.

Can I use it before plaiting?
Better not. For grip in the mane, the Leovet 5-Star Vlechtgel is the product designed for that; a detangler smooths the hair.
