| Does your babies have oily hair? I stared this thread a few days back didnt get very many replies, tnx for the ones I got though. However Hayleys hair on top her head and around her face starts looking oily only couple days after bath. I can wash her face and top of her head everyday which is what I do and her hair lookd on fluffy on top tell next day. Does anyone have this problem? Is this just a yorkie thing? Is it her diet or what? Any info will greatly be appreciated, I looked back at many threads and I havent came across any pertaining to this before

| Hmmm It could be the diet, or maybe it's your shampoo. What kind do you use? I don't think it's a Yorkie thing, because I have never heard of that. But then again, we always learn something new on YT.

| Bonnie's hair was greasy before I changed to the CC products, so I just think it was the shampoo that I was using, sorry I can't remember the name. She would be pretty and shiny for a few days then she would look greasy. |

| I do think yorkies have a lot of natural oil that's what makes their hair lay nice. Baths strip the natural oil which makes them fluffy (especially baths with dawn). But I am not a cosmotologist expert and this is my first yorkie, but this is just what i've noticed.

| I think too that a lot of it might be from us. Kissing on them and touching them all the time. |

| Harley usually stays fluffy for about 2 days or so and then the hair around his ears get kinda oily and bunch together.. Hate it but wipes don't help and I don't like bathing him any more often than I do bc I always fear he'll get water in his ears or get the shampoo in his eyes or in his mouth. Yuck!
