Beemer is softcoated and I used a flat iron on him when his hair was long. It really helped with tangles and made his hair much silkier appearing. He's a wiggle worm but he did pretty good with it. I only used the flatiron on his back. I divided lengthwise into three sections and clipped them up. Then I split each section into three. I didn't try to get close to his body because I was nervous about burning him. The flatiron was more effective than anything else I did at keeping tangles down and giving him a silky appearance. I never used it around his face. I was too scared of buring him. I did finally give up though and had him cut. He and I are both much happier now.
