| This was an e-mail I sent to one of my friends. |
| Thought I'd share it. |
| . |
| I use Isle of dogs shampoo and conditioner on my |
| dogs. http://www.iodogsga.com/ |
| For brushing I use Miracle Coat and I use a little |
| Fantastic anti-static spray for show days. |
| . |
| Just because your shampoo has a lot of suds |
| doesn't mean it's a good shampoo. I'm a |
| hairdresser, so I know a lot about hair. Suds |
| leave a residue on the shaft and cuts down on |
| the shine. |
| These are the products I use and I don't sell them |
| either... :))) |
| . |
| The ph is very important. People are 5.5 ph |
| which is much more acidic than dogs which |
| are 7.0. Using shampoo that's less than 7.0, |
| which is alkaline, can cause the hair to dry |
| out and look fried over a period of time. |
| . |
| Something to watch out for in conditioners |
| is, if they have any wax in them. Lots of |
| people and dog products use wax as a base. |
| This is what makes the hair "FEEL" |
| better, but does absolutely nothing for the |
| hair except coat the hair shaft with wax. |
| . |
| Under a microscope, hair looks just like the |
| scales of a fish, so lets use a fish for an example. |
| When the scales are laying down, the fish looks |
| shinny and feels smooth. When the scales are |
| sticking up, the fish looks dull. If you were to |
| pour a coat of wax over the fish with the scales |
| sticking up, he would feel smoother again, but |
| actually you'd still have damage underneath the |
| wax that can cause the hair to break. |
| . |
| A good conditioner will get under the scales |
| and help them to lay down and then the hair |
| will be smoother, shinier and most of all be |
| healthier and stronger. |
| It won't happen overnight so don't think that |
| one use will tell the tale like the wax |
| conditioners. It's a gradual healing |
| process of the shaft. |
