Progress on Priscilla's hair growth and bath time routine As many of you may know I have decided to grow out Priscilla's hair and I must say its going very well and looking very healthy and nice. I attached a picture to support my theory :P.
I have also always been curious of other Yorkie owners bath time routine and wanted to share mine. I start out by clipping her nails, and making sure she doesnt need a trim around her behind and her hooha. I then brush out her coat and them go back with a fine tooth comb to get out any tangles. I then gather all our supplies, the two shampoos I use, which are an oatmeal formula and a buttermilk formula, her conditioner, which is Pantene, her leave in hair conditioner, and a pair of latex gloves for me. I take those supplied to the bath tub, stop up the tub, and turn the water on. While the tub is filling up I put two towels in the dryer. I take Priscilla into the bathroom and out her in the tub. I then change into a pair of basketball shorts and get into the tub. Priscilla gets really nervous and scared if she is in in the tub alone so I sit in the tub and let her sit in my lap while I'm bathing her. I get a cup and pour water all over her then I use the oatmeal shampoo, wash it out, use the buttermilk shampoo, wash it out, I put loads of conditioner on her and comb it through her hair. I get Priscilla out and get the warm towel out of the dryer. I wrap her up in the towel and keep her in it for 5 minutes. I then take her back to the tub and wash out the conditioner. I get the second towel out of the dryer and wrap her in it. I wait until her hair is damp and put 3 drops of her leave in conditioner into my hands and rub my hands together then massage it into her hair. After that i use my hair dryer to dry her completely, give her lots of treats, and then bath time is done. What is your routine? |
