ARIMINO PEACE Wet Oil Compared | Grease, Gelee, Wax and the Whips for Permed Hair

2026.10.26アリミノウェットスタイル Styling

ARIMINO "PEACE" Wet Oil is a styling product that creates a glossy, wet-look texture. The maker explains that all 3 types use a "+Oil" formula that lets you control shape while keeping a wet texture. The difference is the strength of hold and shine.

If unsure

For cohesion and softness, Gelee. For a tight surface and strong shine, Grease. For strong movement without hardening, Wax.

Hair condition when applying

The maker directs applying Gelee and Wax to dry hair, and Grease to half-dry to dry hair. The maker says all 3 are "effective in small amounts." With a wet texture, using too much can make hair look wet and not dried, so at our salons we tell people to take a small amount, scrunch it in from the ends, and finally smooth the surface with what is left on their hands. All 3 have an aqua floral scent.

As the maker describes it, Grease allows "free re-styling," and its feature is that the shape is easy to change with your fingers. It suits styles where you want a uniform surface, such as a center part or a tight updo.

For waves and permed hair: 2 Whips

The "Whip" products in the same series are aerated foam styling products. They can be used on half-wet or dry hair; without shaking, keep the container upright and dispense about 2–3 pumps per side into your hand.

Whip	Maker's description	Our price
PEACE Light Wax Whip	Non-sticky light wax texture, for defined-strand waves	250mL ¥2,178
PEACE Bouncy Curl Whip	Soft, bouncy texture, for well-defined curls	250mL ¥2,178

ARIMINO PEACE PRODESIGN Light Wax Whip
Tax incl. 250mL ¥2,178

ARIMINO PEACE PRODESIGN Bouncy Curl Whip
Tax incl. 250mL ¥2,178

As a guide, Light Wax if you want defined strands in loose waves, Bouncy Curl if you want clearly defined curls. On days you want a wet texture, you can also shape with a Whip and then layer a little Wet Oil Gelee on the surface.
