It was traumatic losing all her black puppy curls  , but the graying roots of the new hair coming in is SO much softer and easier to brush.
They say their hair does go through several different stages, during the first couple of years. So I see what Red is saying...cutting it won't MAKE it silkier....but sometimes (depending on your dog) cutting off the fuzzy puppy ends does REVEAL the silkier hair coming in, better. |
Very true!!! Scampers is 7 months old almost 8 months old and at the roots his hair is straight and silky but it is only at the roots, it is just coming in. The rest of his hair is fuzzy puppy hair and his hair is matting like crazy where the old hair meets the new. I know if I get him cut his hair will be much nicer, straighter and silky. But I am so afraid to get his hair cut, it is not that long and to cut it to where the new hair is coming in it would be really short.
I guess I am waiting for it to get longer so that when he does have it cut it won't be so short. But then again he is matting like crazy.
I can't figure out what to do. I hate short hair on him but then you got the matts.
His hair is going through some major changes right now. He has a tri colored head right now, black tips with silver in between and gold at the roots. I can't bare to cut his hair on his head, I always put it up in a topknot with a cute bow and if I were to cut it now I woulden't be able to do that. So for now, the hair on his head will stay tricolored until it is long enough to where it can be cut and still be able to put it in a topknot. And on top of that he is transitioning from puppy hair to adult hair. Soooooo many changes!!! I will be glad when it is all over!!
