I bought some of the CM Detangler and used it for the first time this past week. I poured a nickle size drop in my palm, rubbed it on my hands and then on Ben's hair. It did make brushing as I blow dryed easy but afterwards he seemed to look too "oily" and his hair separated. Should I dilute it in the spray bottle for after bath too? Or do you use it straight from the bottle. Maybe I used too much for a puppy? I sure like the feel of it on my own skin, but not so sure I liked his "greaser" look. Maybe I don't really need it yet since he doesn't really get tangled, but it also says it is for shine. I also used the CM shampoo for the first time, was using Pantene before. Open for all suggestions.

I would cut back a bit on the CM. I start with about a dime size amount and apply as you did. If there does not seem to be enough to get everywhere, just apply a bit more to the areas you missed. I use the spray bottle mixture only for brushing when Gracie is dry, as I heard we should never try to brush a dry coat.

Okay -- thanks I will try a little less next time and see what happens. He is getting more baths than normal because the other two dogs keep playing so much with him -- they sort of chew on his hair and get it stinky. He enjoys it too much to make them stop but they make a mess of his "do."
