Any suggestions on growing out the hair to obtain a top knot?

Any suggestions on stimulating thicker hair growth?
Probably the first thing to consider with hair growth is diet. Make sure you are feeding a really good quality food. A supplement of Omega3 is really good for skin and coat.

I believe strongly in using only all natural products for bathing and conditioning. The sulfate and other chemicals in many products strip the skin even though they do have some synthetic type conditioners in them. I always use an all natural detangling spray on the topknot area when combing and work it into the skin, keeping it out of the eyes of course.

Genetics has a lot to do with how much coat your dog has but you can always help things along with diet and using the right products. The coat usually naturally thickens as they mature.
