Thank you all so much! Yes, she does have a dream coat. Very silky and so easy to grow. That is right I do not mess with it between baths - no brushing. If she starts to look like hair is not straight down or it looks like a mat might start - I just use my fingertips to gentle pull it apart. But remember - and this is very important - she is in oil all week. This is why I do not have to mess with her daily.
Now that I have just started to wrap her for show - I must undo the wrapes everyday and spritz lightly with conditioner and then brush into my sections and back in new wrap papers. Make sure though it is not wet. But I have just started this a few days ago. Up until now - it was only in the oil.
I just fill the tub with warm water to their knees and then add in one capful of the neutrgena body/bath oil and swish over her coat. Then drain water out and spray lightly with regular water to wash off any extra oil. Dab with towel - do not rub. Brush out coat with pin brush and then blow dry. That is it till the following week for her next bath. Easy!
I do have to add - a lot of it has to do with genes ~she has the growing long coat/silky texture gene for sure.
Good luck!
