Roxy is another thin coated silky. Her hair grows painfully slow. Can't remember anything I've ever been interested in that didn't turn out to require monumental amounts of patience. She was 1 yr Nov 1 & I still have not had her hair cut. Just butt trims & a little bit on the face which I do myself. Her hair is so slickery I have a hard time doing any kind of top knot, besides it not growing either. Have given up on those for now. Took her to groomer around 5-6 mo old more of an introduction than anything. Regretted having her do the little bit of cutting I asked for. Didn't realize then just how slow it was going to grow.
The upside has been saving money on groomer, she doesn't mat. Have thought about trimming up the ends, but haven't done it yet. I think it's beginning to look a little fuller now, but it might just be our cold weather/heated houses. Hang in there, but know you are not alone. |
