| Vellus Does anyone use/like any of the Vellus products? I just bought some and I am wondering which ones you like or dislike and why. Thank you.

| Vellus I recently bought the Vellus Satin Creme. I like it very much. It adds shine and smells good. I use it just before brushing. Phyllis

| I do not like the application procedure of the satin creme. I dislike the price too. I feel like I have to use alot of product. I don't want to think about the cost as I'm using something. I like both of these. I'm not sure the cost is worth the benefit. |

| the jar of satin cream lasts me a LONG time. I probably use it differently than most. I put just a dab in my hand and rub my hands together and use it as a smoothing cream for the short hairs along the top line with Radar as he has some small breakage and it works good to keep his coat from flying away LOL... |

| I don't use the satin cream for wrapping, I use it for other things and that's why I love it and can justify the cost because I use very little of it |

Antistatic spray I use at show. Good Product. Truly keeps static down. Not too keen on their s&c.

YT 1000 Club Member | Gail I am not to fond of the S&C either so am looking for something else to use. However I do use the Satin creme ans static stabilizer for wrapping and daily use. When I wrap I do the initial wrapping using the creme and then the stabilizer for daily rewrapping. I have to say that the condition of the coat when I use it is worth far more to me than the price of the satin creme.

| I'm a Vellus junkie...I do love all their products and I do use the satin cream from wrapping since I don't use oils. I do make the shampoo and conditioner just a bit stronger than suggested and love it

For the conditioner my still favourite is Biogroom Silk - can't really describe why. I also have a special conditioner for the topknot - but it is from Latvia so I can't even read the name. lol IOD heavy duty conditioner #51 was wonderfull when we were swimming a few times a week. I acually wrapped him in this a few times prior to going in swimming, and it was a breeze, to bathe him afterwards and rewrap. It is a little heavy right now for his coat, but as winter approaches and it gets drier in the house, and he just loves to find a heat vent to lay over, I'm sure I;ll be pulling that out again. IOD has a superb product call Lift, it is a very light hair spray, but without the tackiness of hairspray. You can build volumne with this, and last wk end I use to set topknot. Pretty pleased with that. The other thing you can do is if you go to a show to buy products you can ask for a sample of other products you'd like to try out IOD I am using their conditioning spray to brush before rewrapping. I quite like that, I also use on blackies beards, and I find a real improvement in their beard quality. I also started saving my waterbottles, that have the pull out top, to use as mixing bottles for dilution. They are just the right size. Also as I'm going to New York, I can put product in bottles then mix up when I arrive

YT 1000 Club Member | Thanks Gail, I am planning on picking up some IOD shampoo and Conditioner. I have the conditioning spray and the primrose oil spray. I am also going to pick up the royal jelly supplement. The Pek works great on Friday but not so good on Cruz. Different hair types.

| I'm addicted to oil. I have to see and feel it to know it's there. I don't think the satin creme works better. It's nice to have a product that works for in between. Not sure if I said on this thread, I like how it feels rinsing out better than anything. I've just tried to use it like oil. It's not supposed to be. I can't live without oil. I have to have it. We use marked measuring bottles. I prefer a flip lid over a pull out. |
