Im glad that you took the time to read over my grooming tips, I do hope that it helps.
I use conditioner during the bathing process and during grooming if the hair should dry out. Im not sure if I included that on my site, sorry. I also use it during quick sitting in between grooming's . I never brush or comb their hair when it is dry.
If you spray them with the conditioner and work it in with your fingers it help to get the tangle loosened up. If all else fails and in really bad cases I will use a pair of hair scissors to break through the matt or tangle. You open the scissors and grip them like a knife with one side/point exposed. Than starting at the base of the area use it to poke the matt/tangle several times and work your way downward. It will break up the matt/tangle but keep in mind this will also cut the hair. I use that method only as a last resort !!
I picked up most of my grooming supplies at local pet stores and even Wal mart. I have to say that the cat brush is my favorite tool for working out the matts. I've even got my sister & mother using them too.
