Hallie's Head---Help Please Okay so I'm not very experienced with grooming and all this stuff so I need some help. I bathe her every two weeks (on Sunday) and brush her everyday (she loves it) but her head is another story. She gets knots right by her ears and I cannot seem to get them out myself. Luckily her groomer combs her when I take her to daycare but I can't rely on that all the time. Should I be using a comb? If so what kind. Should I use a detangler on her head before combing her? If so any suggestions? Thanks~ |
I always use a comb for Sissy. It is a LilPets brand that is metal with two different lengths of combs. Sissy's hair is very fine on her head and it can look greasy easily, so I don't use any product on her head. But, I do comb her head morning and night, including her cheek whiskers and beard whiskers. I comb very gently to get out any sticky food stuff and/or knots. Don't know if this helps or not - good luck to you and Hallie. |
We use a detangeling comb on Grayson with metal teeth that turn, also cowboy magic works great too |
Oh good! So I need to get a comb, can I get one at Petsmart? Or should I order a special one? I think you have a good plan too, combing her morning and night. I will try that :) |
I use only a comb on mine also, a metal one there not that expensive and they seem to help keeping mats down.....:) |
I use a meduim size metal detangler comb on all of mine. Their hair is so thick. i was just brushing and really thought I was doing good with keeping mats out until I bought the comb. oh my, i couldn't believe the mats down next to the skin that the brush had missed. |

I use a comb too and cowboy magic is great for matts |
I got a comb and it has done wonders :) My next question is, how the heck do I get her to sit still while I try to put her hair up? I've only ever used the barrettes or clips but I have all of these great bows that I got from katysbows and from various people. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I don't have a clue what I'm doing~ |
give her a treat or something to munch on.. maybe a carrot if she likes them?? Kayah won't sit still for topknots either unless she has something in her mouth lol |

Carrots, great idea! I'm going to try that this afternoon! Thanks~ |
Glad the comb is working for you. Just thought I'd share - this is the best comb I've ever used. I got it at one of the pet stores, either PetCo or Petsmart. www.theuntangler.com |

:thumbup: I use a metal comb too and cowboy magic. I invested in a good quality metal comb that is extremely smooth with no little burs on it that would break delicate hair. The comb is about 6" long and has tines about 1/8" apart at one end and 1/16" apart at the other. If my kids get a little matt, I hold the matt with one hand and use the comb to "tease" it out with the other. Rub in a tiny dab of Cowboy Magic and in no time flat the matts are gone! |

Well, now I get to brag! :D Abbie will finally sit still for bows n' such, because she knows it's part of her grooming. Sometimes, when we're done, I'll say "OK, all done - good girl!" She'll prance off, shake a little and then come back and sit with her back to me as if to say: "ummm....you missed a spot mom" lol I try not to take too long, though; so as not to belabor her patience. |
