My Chanel is the same way - she had very long hair even as a puppy - but it's too much for me to keep upwith... so I use a de-matting comb to rake thru it and thin it out - it keeps the length but cuts down on volume. The whole key is try to comb under the top of the hair - like her face area - I hold up the really long side hair and try to thin only under her chin - it really makes a difference
you have to be very careful with this comb....try NOT to touch the skin even though it has rounded edges - the prongs are sharp in the insides of the blades |
