Slicker Brush Question!!! Please Help! I have a slicker brush that I have never used.........How do you use it? :blush: I mean, I know "how" to use it, but should I spray a conditioning spray on before I use it? Are they good to use?? THANKS!!! :hug: |
if your yorkies have a silk coat then i wouldn't use it at all. i have one for my cotton coat yorkie. I spray ice on ice on her coat first then brush. i think it would break a silky coat because its so rough |
I also heard it can ruin a coat. :( But maybe others will say otherwise. I occasionally use one but only if Zoe has a snarl and then I just use the edge of it to kinda break it up. |
I use it once lulu is all dry and nice. I dont' see any damage done by it. It's always been good with her coat. When her hair was in the nappy phase it helped get out all those tangles and remove the baby coat that was shedding. I still use it with her hair. |
A slicker brush can cause alot of breakage of hair. I would recommend a pin brush of you want to grow a long coat. |
A slicker is nice for the feet and a short puppy cut, but will break a longer coat. The only slicker I like is the Chris Christensen one. It's much softer and gentler. |
brush I would not use one on a silk coat or one you want to preserve...perhaps on cotton coats for getting out mats..a slicker rips the hair shaft and breaks it off..but with a pet coat (soft/cotton) they can be helpful. |
Thanks everyone! I have all sorts of brushes...some like the slicker are never used. I really love my boar bristle brush and my comb. LilyGrace's hair is about 2 inches from the floor and Mojo's is growing out and is about 3 inches from the floor. No shows here...just want nice pretty Yorkie hair! :biggrin: |
