Straightening Iron Can anyone recommend a good iron to use for straightening the coat? Thank you:) |

I would think it would get too hot, and damage the hair, or hurt the dog. But I have pets, not show dogs. And they both have puppy cuts. I'm interested to see the response here. |
I've read that some show breeders do it right before a show because the dog's hair is wrapped, and this makes it curly. There have been several threads on the recommended ones for this. I'm not sure this is something a pet owner would attempt, blow-drying is usually enough to straighten out in wavy spots. The heat from an iron would damage the hair over time, and could cause burns. |
here is the link to the one I use for showss. it is a Butane one. I don't wrap my dogs but ironing right before a show makes them look so smooth and sleek. I also use an anti static product with it. ThermaCELL |
Go obtain those stick straight flowing coats they must be flat ironed. It doesn't have to be a pet product....the human ones are fine for use. |
Well, whadda ya know! Learn something new every day! |
There was another post on this that I responded to. I thought she wanted it for herself not the dog. Duh how dumb am I???? |
Never heard of this either... but it makes sense why you would use one... |
This is new to me . My Zeppelin is such a wiggle worm I would be afraid to burn him |
wow I learn something new on here everyday lol I had no idea they did that |
If price doesn't matter get a Chi. They are great and with less damage to the hair. |
YEs, chi is the best for any hair. If wanting a less expensive iron, get a ceramic plated one and use it on the low setting...My Chi went down and the last one I got is a Sally's brand" Plugged In", it was $29.99 I believe. Use a good moisterising shampoo and conditioner and completely dry the hair, pick up the hair in 2 inch sections, comb the piece first and run the iron through the peice starting about 1/2 inch from the skin, if it leaves a beginning seam at the start point, you may have not pulled it through quick enough, I have been ironing mine for 4 years and the older two have very healthy coats..we use it about every 10 days only at shampoo time. It will last pretty much until next shampoo:) |

Many Chi's have had shorts due to a problem with the wiring, some were recalled so see if yours was one of them. Mine stopped working just after the one year warranty was up. My hairdresser where I bought it was nice enough to take it back and talk to her chi rep who gave me a new one free of charge even after the warranty was up. It is totally worth the try. |
Learn something new everyday. |
I don't like Chis, I had a really good friend who used the Chi and her hair looked disgusting. It also shorted out pretty fast which, I understand, is a problem with most of them. I use a Sedu and I love love love it! |
