How it works

The science behind the technologically advanced system

Matting occurs when you have a textured/curly coat (usually dry and damaged) and you have compacted undercoat, mix a little friction, water or coat change and knots are inevitable.

A small knot easily turns into a matt because the hairs tend to clump together, much like a snow ball getting larger the more it’s rolled around.

The solution is we don’t allow the hairs to be attracted to each other to form the “snow ball” or “fur ball” in this case.

Oodle Love products are designed systematically to hydrate, repair and release the coat, causing depolarization of the individual hairs, therefor avoiding the snow ball effect.

Here’s how we do it:

STEP 1

Hydrate

The hydrate shampoo is the vital first step in this knot and matt prevention system, working in three clever ways:

  1. It removes the coat of any build-up, dirt, sweat, smell, toxins, and impurities.
  2. It then cleanses the coat and skin without stripping the coat’s natural oils. Oodles are often prone to dry skin, which is why we’ve used organic goat and coconut milk to hydrate and soothe.
  3. The shampoo then works from within the hair follicle to gently hydrate and nourish each stand, adding flexibility to the cuticles with argon oil and keratin.

STEP 2

Repair

This lightweight leave-in conditioner is made to penetrate deep into the hair shaft to repair and rebuild dry, brittle and damaged coat from the inside out.

We use Keratin again plus avocado oil to add flexibility and rebuild the natural protective layer of hair from the inside by replacing lost protein.

This active repairing of the cuticle reduces polarization, therefore preventing knots and matts forming.

Tight weave and textured coats get a real benefit with this Repair leave-in Conditioner.

STEP 3

Release

If there are any knots left after Hydrate shampoo and Repair conditioner, this exclusive formula is used to help brushing be as painless as possible.

As the name suggests, dead hair from the undercoat is released easily, after a quick spray, brushing will be much quicker.

Key ingredients including camellia seed oil and argan oil protects the external cuticle from damage and reduced polarity in high friction areas, this ads another layer of knot prevention in between washes.

You can use on wet or dry coats.

STEP 4

Prevent

Your ultimate “trouble spot’ spray, to be used anytime in areas like behind the ears, under the harness, base of tail etc.

A quick spray and comb through is all that’s required for the argan oils and avocado oil to prevent the knots from forming and turning into matts.

Prevent spray has different ingredients to Release spray, our goal is to condition and smooth the hair cuticle from the inside, resulting in a coat strands gliding instead of tangeling.

STEP 5

Brush, brush, brush, brush

Oodle Love product are made to make brushing much easier. In order to have a matt free coat daily brushing or combing is essential. The manual removal of the undercoat minimises the snowball effect and is the key to maintaining a healthy coat.

Getting practice and being confident in the line brushing technique gets matts out at skin level were they frequently form.

In addition to using Oodle Love product and daily brushing, please visit your groomer at least every 6 to 8 weeks.
