| Question about Yorkie Hair I was wondering if anyone has a yorkie w/ curly hair? Holly-Ann's tail is somewhat curly and i was wondering if anyone knew how to keep it straight. I blow dry hair and brush her while i am blow drying her. Which this does help some but, i cannot get it to go staight. When the groomers groom her she is straight, but they seem to want to keep it a secrect?? And i cannot take her every week for a bath and pay 40 dollars. She also has some dry skin and i try not to give her a bath to often because her skin is so dry and i know this irratates her. Does anyone know how to help on theses two problems?? |

| I just uploaded pictures of her under 'my yorkie' on the forum. But i posted one below. I've tried the straight iron her hairs not that long and she's scared of it. But i know that's not what they use. Thanks Though. |

| Max's hair is more wavy than curly after I blow dry his hair. However, when he was sick and had diarrhea I had to wash his butt and after it air-dried, it looked like he got a perm on his butt The hair was SO curly!!!! I usually just brush him then it's wavy again--I cannot ever get it as straight as the groomer does, though.

| I am a groomer. And in this case they probaly used a stand dryer and brush/dry right after the bath and do the tail first. Try using an oatmeal shampoo.
