I don't know if anyone else has tried this, or if it works for anyone else.. but since Tashi's hair is fine and straight (almost exactly like my hair), I brush her hair like mine.

I put a pea-sized amount of coconut oil on my palms, rub it together very well so it's liquified, make sure there isn't too much on my hands (if there is, i just rub it on my arms, etc) and then rub it through her coat before brushing. Personally, I find that it works better for her than any detangling spray I've tried.

Sometimes I mist her with water lightly before I start, sometimes I don't.

It's safe for them to eat, so I don't have to worry about her ingesting it while self-grooming. It has antibacterial/microbial proprieties, and it's healthy and natural, so it's become my go-to. Plus, no frizzies and no breakage. If you can see it on their hair, you put way too much.

Edit: Tashi is by no means a show-dog, so if you're looking for show-dog coat, you might want to wait for some other posters to respond. This is just what I use to keep her hair healthy, with no tangles and no breakage. It keeps it pretty shiny, the pic I attached was about 4 days after brushing.
