Not only does the shower handset boast a unique halo-shaped design, it also contains innovative technology creating a distinctive fan like spray pattern, providing a greater spray force and double the water coverage in comparison to conventional showerheads.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-364754 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pexels-photo-192474.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pexels-photo-192474.jpeg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pexels-photo-192474-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Participants attended an initial focus group prior to testing the product. A series of questions were asked to determine factors such as; buying habits, brand loyalty, personal and brand image and attitudes towards haircare. Questions included: \u201cWhat\u2019s the average length of time it takes to wash your hair?\u201d, \u201cHow much do you spend on haircare a month?\u201d and \u201cHow important is it to you that your hair looks good?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The research revealed that, although the majority of participants spent between \u00a350-\u00a3100 every month on haircare, none of the panel had considered changing or upgrading their showerhead in a bid to improving their haircare results.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Participants spent four weeks putting the product to the test and the headline, post-trial results from the group were as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b7 93% of participants stated they would choose the Aurajet\u00ae Aio over their previous handset<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b7 87% of participants would recommend Methven to a friend<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b7 80% claimed that the showerhead rinsed their hair quicker in comparison to their previous handset<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b7 73% believed that their hair looked healthier and shinier due to the Aurajet\u00ae Aio showerhead<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00b7 60% agreed that the handset was an investment for long-term hair healthiness<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-364756 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Methven-Aio-Shower-Spray-Vertical-_preview.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Methven-Aio-Shower-Spray-Vertical-_preview.jpeg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Methven-Aio-Shower-Spray-Vertical-_preview-223x300.jpeg 223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The overwhelming majority stated that they would favour the handset over their previous showerhead and agreed the product rinsed their hair more effectively.
