On average how long for face hair to grow? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

JDS · 10-08-2010, 08:15 AM

Lulu got her first cut today & her face is too short for me. She looks so different & I'm just wondering about how long until it grows back.

Rachael x · 10-08-2010, 08:30 AM

Hmm it depends how short it is, can we see a picture?

I feel your pain! This just happened to Rocco about 3 weeks ago and I was shocked with the drastic change (although I was crystal clear I wanted him trimmed!) I don't have an answer for how long it will take the hair to grow, but I do know it won't be a big deal once you've had a few days to become accustomed to the change. Let's face it, you just can't trim the cute off of these little furbutts!!

Well if the face hair is like to body hair, really quick. I had Sophie groomed in a modified Schnauzer cut on 8/30 and she really could use another. Only because the weather is turning cold I am not getting her cut way back again, but we have had to trim her face already.
Like everything, if you want it long it will grown slow and vice versa.

I was very clear in what I wanted & even brought in a picture. I really like our groomer, though. Next time I'm going to ask that her face & legs be left long. I'd rather it be a little longer than I wanted than shorter. Her face used to look full, now it looks narrow. I do agree that you can't trim the cuteness off of them though. Lulu is still cute as can be... Here's a before & after.

AW....I think LuLu looks extremely gorgeous in her not cut, face and all.

Shows her beautiful eyes too.

JDS · 10-09-2010, 11:35 AM

Thank you. I think shes beautiful either way, I just prefer it a bit longer. At least it will grow back.

I brought home 2 year old Jesse on August 8th, I've had him for 2 months. His hair was cut very short, I can't wait for it to grow and it is growing quite fast!

Ahhhh....I like her cut. It looks neat and she looks very cute. I tend to keep Copper short because I like it better than the shaggy look. Good luck with what ever you decide!

Wow, I can tell you it's all about the pups' makeup...I had Apple & Buzz' summer cut, at the same time...It was buzzed on the body #7 blade, and long legs and skirt...Anyway, several months later (I'm letting it grow longer in the winter, for warmth), it's like Buzz' hair grew a full inch more, than Apples...Btw, Apple has the blue/grey thinner, silkier hair, and Buzz and the courser black hair...

JDS · 10-10-2010, 05:17 AM

I don't think it's a bad cut, I've just found that I like it a bit longer & her face and legs fuller. Just personal preference I guess. Lulu seems to have a very thick, cottony coat so I'm hoping her hair will grow quite fast. I'm actually thinking in a few weeks it will already look much better.

Thanks for the posts & pics everyone. I'm feeling a bit better about it each day...guess I'm getting more used to it. I still want to let it grow out a bit, though.

Wow! I can't believe the difference in less than 2 months! Amazing. He's a cutie with either cut, but I like the Oct 8th look better.

Too Cute Darlene. Love that little Jesse.

zoedo · 10-12-2010, 03:09 PM

Lulu is very cute either way but I like the picture on the right better. I got Zoe's body clipped short about 6 weeks ago and loved it, but left her face long. Now that I see how your's looks with the face cut I will probably have that done too on Thursday. Love the look!!
