My Lexy is an imperfect silky - mats VERY easily. When I bath her, I brush (using a spray on conditioner) then bathe gently without roughing the hair. I soak her in conditioner and let it set 2 minutes, then rinse. She combs out nicely BUT is NEVER as soft and silky as when I take her to the groomer.

She comes out of there looking like a princess (of course) but her hair is soooo soft and silky. Do they have a "secret" product? Is it because they dry her first? I don't blow her dry because I don't have enough hands. She dries quickly. I brush her out wet and finish dry. Then I use Liquid Silk on her but still she is just not quite as nice as the groomer makes her.

Any groomers in our bunch? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
