    Chi4me, you must be so excited now!!

    I am Minxy - but a little apprehensive as well! No news as yet - so am not sure if it is a good thing or bad :)

    The last time unfortunately pup didnt make it, and the bitch had to be sterilized (I felt so awful for my poor breeder) - so am crossing my fingers and toes that all goes well this time.

    Cheers,Ronnnie

    HARRY the chihuahua from the Royal Adelaide Show is happy and well after being reunited with his owner, police say.

    Police collected Harry from a Northfield address this morning and took him to Sturt Police Station.

    Kylie Sunman, of Two Wells, said she collected Harry about 10.30am and would be paying the promised $5000 reward to two people who contacted her yesterday.

    "He's a bit skinny and he's lost a fair bit of coat but he's OK," she said.

    Miss Sunman, of Two Wells, owns six chihuahuas, including Harry, who was snatched from a cage in the dog pavilion during the Show.

    Police allege a man opened the cage then hid the the dog under his clothing before running from the pavilion while Miss Sunman was just metres away.

    Miss Sunman said a man matching the description of the alleged offender earlier had talked to her about her dogs.

    Cheers to all who gave me some advice :):laugh: I always condition after I have shampooed because I was told that will close the cuticle :laugh: I have seabreeze oil so might give that a go as well. I don't like putting anything to oily on their coat as they look horrible and dirty. They get brushed everyday so hopefully that is enough to promote the natural oils in their coats.

    Chi4me I was once told that pantene has alot of silicone in it, does it??

    Hi Liamber :rofl:

    Conditioner will help smooth down the cuticle - that is correct :cry: Basically if the hair cuticle is already damaged, like Espinay2 stated, the hair is then porous making it more susceptable to staining. Trimming the old length and promoting new hair growth is the only way to rid yourself of split ends.

    In regards to Pantene - it does have alot of silicone in it :D Its a hairdressers worst nightmare when a client comes in for a colour or some type of chemical service (ie: perm, foils etc..) and is told she uses Pantene on her hair - we advise the client that we cannot guarantee the result of the hair colour that she is trying to achieve. We then have to go through several clarifying shampoos, trying to remove the build up of the pantene product first before even applying colour or lightening powder.

    However, because of the amount of silicone/silica in it and with regular use, it does make your hair look fab and shiny - its a combination of product buildup actually weighing down the split ends at the end of your hair.

    ETA: Im coming from a hairdressers perspective, not a groomer :D

    Cheers, Ronnie

    i have also always followed the warm wash then the cold rinse- ie warm water to open the pores and hair shafts during washing and sard on really bad stains then when u do a final rinse do it with as cold as water as the dog will stand and it seals it back up?? pls correct me if im wrong :rofl:

    As a hairdresser, (but not as a groomer) I can tell you there is no closing of the actual hair shaft when rinsing in cold water. Its basically for the scalp or skin as the case maybe. Vigorous washing/massaging can promote oil secretion (so it is good for dry scalps/coats) Cool rinsing will cause (just like the face) any open pores on the scalp to close up.

    Something to keep in mind also if the hair is curly or wavy the cuticle of the hair itself is not flat, hence staining would be more likely to occur.

    To seal the hair for protecting, something with an oil in it or silicone is actually the only products I know that work. Avacado oil is good, and so is plain old olive oil.

    Brushing from the base of the hair in long continuous strokes to the end, will also protect the hair in part (brushing stimulates oil secretion).

    Cheers, Ronnie
