Italsystems’s tips for perfect grooming results: all you
need to know about excellent texturizing treatments
that help the coat recover total health and beauty
THE MARKET offers many products that improve the
coat’s quality and condition but only lanolin oil is so
effective to solve common troubles like dry, weak, dull
hair, tangles and mats between baths, natural colour
alterations, fluffy hair, shedding and bad smell.
In all those cases the problem must be faced from the
first grooming step: shampoo. Choose a specific
formula that protects the hair so that, bath after bath, it
helps improve the condition. This is what #1 All Systems
Super Cleaning Shampoo does. With neutral pH and
high amounts of vegetal nourishing ingredients, it
makes the hair very easy to brush, it eliminates static
electricity and prepares it to the second step: the
conditioner.
T.K. Particolarmente robusto, il tavolo T.K., ha un motore elettrico che si
aziona per mezzo di telecomando ed è disponibile in due misure: 115x60 o
110x60 cm. Il piano di lavoro è in legno multistrato con gomma antiscivolo. Nel prezzo sono compresi un robusto braccio a L e il telecomando. Si
può richiedere anche con ruote e cassetto porta oggetti.
T.K. Very strong, the table T.K. comes in two sizes - 115x60 and 110x60
cm – and has an electric engine with remote control. The surface is in
multi-layer wood and antiskid gum coating. The price includes also a
strong L-arm and the remote control. It can be equipped with wheels and
drawer.
MORE THAN A CONDITIONER. Conditioning can be
boosted by adding Pure Lanolin Oil (picture 1), a wax
deriving from lambswool, which is highly soothing and
therefore excellent to nourish the coat. Differently from
other oils that basically preserve the coat, lanolin oil
has a high nutritional value, which is easily absorbed,
and supports the hair growth making it stronger and
more elastic.
If a normal coat needs a couple of spoonfuls of Super
Rich Conditioner, the one in bad condition would need
two spoonfuls of Super Rich Conditioner supplemented
with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of lanolin oil; mix very well with 2
glasses of hot water and add some more to arrive to
about 1 litre; apply it on the coat and insist on the areas
where the hair is tangled or weaker. Distribute the
product at best. Since the oil is not water-soluble, it will
remain on the hair. Then detangle the coat.
BEAUTY AND HEALTH. Lanolin oil helps detangle,
brush and dry the hair and it preserves the coat from
possible damage. It also speeds up the grooming
operations. If you use an appropriate amount of
conditioner and lanolin oil, the coat will look well
nourished but not greasy: it will stay free from tangles
and mats till the next bath and grow increasingly
stronger till the optimal condition.
Since it is not water-soluble, lanolin oil builds a waterrepellent barrier on the hair and hinders the
development of stains due to tears, saliva or urine, it
protects from sun rays and, above all, from external
agents and it creates an adverse environment for
parasites. The bath with lanolin is therefore an
excellent texturizing treatment.
When bathing the dog with lanolin, Product Stabilizer is
recommended: it is a citrus rinse that eliminates all
lanolin residues.

L’olio di primula si può usare come prodotto rifinitore: diluire in uno

miscela anche 1 cucchiaino di Self Rinse Shampoo, che esalta il candore. L’olio di primula è anche perfetto da spruzzare sulle frange di tutte le razze che ne sono caratterizzate, come lo schnauzer o il setter. (S.A.)
