Which shampoos do you use? Chewie's hair of course being so silky and it being thin I WANT to take her off of the puppy cut and start training her to be fine with the top knot. Sandy is so good with her, but she'd do the top knots way too tight, and now chewie is literally freaked out of them- and I don't blame her. It got so bad that the second and only other time I let her put one in her hair poor chewie bit my husband a few times as we were trying to take it out. She was in such pain that she literally didn't even realize it. Any way, I digress. I'd love to steal the hairstyle you have for Casie, lol. |
I use a clarifying shampoo and then a moisturizing shampoo. So two shampoos and then a conditioner. I've been using coat handler for a clarifying shampoo and a conditioner for quite awhile. I really like it. I've been experimenting with different moisturizing shampoos lately. I just want the second shampoo to be cleansing but also moisturizing. I typically bathe my dogs at least once a week, or whenever they are dirty.
Topknots should never be done too tightly cause that will break the hair. It takes a bit of practice to do the topknots well. Many people make mistakes when doing them. My mother thinks it's so easy and she nearly wrecked my dogs' hair when she tried to do it.
I recommend using multiple bands and banding the topknot hair in two sections. This allows you to band it backwards so the hair doesn't flop in front of the face. And make sure you don't pull up the hair so tightly that you end up banding the skin on top of the head. And make sure the top knot doesn't pull up on the eyelids so you see the whites of the eyes. Those are two mistakes that I've seen people make. And I imagine the dog would find it pretty uncomfortable. If you get it right, it looks good and doesn't bother the dog. It takes a bit of practice.
