Smart Grooming Perfect Plaits Setting Spray for Horses
Description
Smart Grooming Perfect Plaits Setting Spray
Smart Grooming Perfect Plaits is a water-based setting spray that is applied after plaiting to hold horse plaits and braids in place with a firm yet natural finish. It is best for riders, grooms and producers who need plaits to stay tidy all day at a show, competition or yard shoot.
Unlike a damping spray used before you begin, Perfect Plaits is the finishing step. It stabilises the completed plait, adds a subtle shine and leaves no heavy or sticky residue, so the mane still looks natural in the ring. You can browse more turnout products in our horse grooming collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Perfect Plaits used before or after plaiting?
After. It is a setting spray applied once the plaits are completed, to hold the finished style and add shine. A damping product would be used before you start.
Will it leave the mane sticky?
No. The finish is described as a subtle shine without a heavy or sticky feel, so the hair still moves and looks natural.
What is in the formula?
It is water-based (Aqua) and contains IDA 96, BC93/018, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Cetyltrimethylammonium Chloride and Lavender Oil.
What does it smell like?
It contains Lavender Oil, which gives a light, natural lavender note rather than a strong perfume.
Can I use it on tail plaits as well as the mane?
Yes. It can be sprayed over any completed plait or braid to help hold the shape and add shine.
How long does the hold last?
It is designed to help keep hair in place throughout the day. A light reapplication can tidy flyaway hairs during a long show day.
