Layla's stringy, greasy hair! Layla has really thin, stringy, greasy hair. I wash it and a day later its stringy and it stands strait. Is this perhaps the shampoo/conditioner I'm using? Will this grow out or something? It gets frustrating because people think she's dirty when she's only a few days since her last bath. :/ |
Could be diet/health, or hair products. What brand shampoo and conditioner do you use? |
I use "BOUNCE hypoallergenic coat and body wash with Body Butter" for shampoo. Then I use "BOUNCE Satin Coat conditioning Creme Rinse with Vitamins". The perfume she uses is "BOUNCE deodorizing long lasting refreshing spray." I'm not sure if you or anyone has heard of the products? They sell them at petsmart. |
I'm not familiar with Bounce. I would test another product on your pup and see if it makes a difference. A very popular product line here is Biogroom. You can email them from their website and request free samples. I highly recommend the Biogroom Fluffy Puppy shampoo, Oatmeal shampoo, and Silk Creme Rinse. None of the chain stores carry these products anymore. You would have to order online. For the Silk Creme Rinse, dilute a tiny bit in a measuring cup full of water, mix, and then pour over your pup's back. |
Oily hair could be a dermatitis problem. You may need to change her diet. A home made diet is the best, safest way to go. I wouldn't give her poultry or fish though since they are a major contributor to allergy. What ever shampoo you decide to use, just make sure you rinse, and rinse and rinse again. |

I should clarify that if you use the Silk Creme Rinse, that needs to be rinsed off like any conditioner too. |
I'm feeding her blue buffalo right now. I hope its just her puppy coat type and that she will grow into a different coat. I hopeeee! And thank you, I'm going to look into a different shampoo. :) |
I make sure to not use too much conditioner and really rinse it out. Also the refreshing spray may attract dirt/grease and cause the coat to get dirtier quicker. |

Thank you for this post. My baby has the same type hair. It looks greasy all the time and if I pull a strand of hair up it stays that way. I usually use oatmeal shampoo/conditioner but not helping. I just ordered Everyday Isle of Dogs Silky Coating Dog Shampoo for Yorkies, Jasmine and Vanilla and the same conditioner. I will give that a try. Also I requested a sample from the above website. I am willing to try anything to get her a silky looking coat. |

I think I may be using way too much conditioner. Next bath I will dilute it and hopefully that will help. |
With my 2 that are silky coated I have to be careful not to use a heavy conditioner or they look greasy and stringy. My cotton coated ones I can't use enough conditioner. I would dilute the conditioner a lot see if that helps. |

I just received my free samples from Biogroom. Took about a week from the day I emailed and requested the samples! I didn't get the Silk Creme Rinse, as requested, but I did get Fluffy Puppy and a few other goodies! Guess it's time to clean out the sink and bathe him... |
hmm... 1 Attachment(s) I have run into the same problem..wanted to increase Nemo's shine a little, and ended up looking greasy. With a silky coat it's better to use a very sparing amount otherwise you end up with a dirty look. We won't even talk about when i experimented with VO5 hairdressing....rofl! If you're not feeding homemade food, I have discovered that Taste of the Wild does very well with his coat. I use the Bison and Venison formula, as the Salmon just didn't seem to sit well with him. I think there may have been a little too much oil for his tummy when he was little. Use a good shampoo and conditioner..rinse like crazy. Other than using a little pomade on his topknot while it's still growing (he's only 6 mths old), the only thing I use is Pet Head's Detangling Spray..Love the smell! and it's not too heavy on him. Can't argue with this coat... |
