5 simple steps for proper hair care
Why is it important to take care of your pet’s coat? So that his appearance is always neat? Not only. Proper care is also a guarantee of health. Inappropriate care products and incorrect procedures (grooming, washing) can lead to hair loss and dermatological diseases. To prevent this from happening, you need to remember 5 simple steps. Go?
- Need to wash. Even the most domestic!
Even if your pet never leaves the apartment or travels exclusively on handles, it still needs to be bathed periodically. Pets get dirty, exploring hard-to-reach places in the apartment, collect dust, we bring pollution into the house on outerwear … Add to this the skin secret that accumulates on the skin and wool. But dirty wool is easier and more likely to stray into tangles, which spoils the appearance and negatively affects the overall length of the wool.
- Mine is correct.
That’s right – this is the extent of contamination and with suitable means. You do not need to bathe your pet every week if it is visually clean, but you should not spend a “bath day” less than once a month. Why such periodicity? Renewal of dermal cells is 1 days, so experts recommend washing your pet every 21-3 weeks.
Choose products that suit the individual characteristics of dogs and cats: age, length and type of coat, skin type, etc. It is desirable that these be products of the same brand: such products are well combined in composition and provide gentle comprehensive care.
- We use the tools according to the instructions.
Shampoos and conditioners are different, and before use, be sure to read the instructions for them.
Concentrated products must be diluted with water, preferably in a special bottle. Then they “water” the pet’s coat, carefully distribute it, massage the skin and coat. Non-concentrated products are applied in the direction of hair growth. For a better and more comfortable distribution of the composition in both cases, special brushes can be used (such as Dermobrush ISB).
- No sponges!
Many owners use sponges to wash their pets, but this is a bad idea. A sponge is an excellent environment for the accumulation and reproduction of bacteria. And they, in turn, can provoke dermatological problems.
- We comb out correctly.
How often to comb a pet and with what tool? Maybe it needs to be cut? Or trimming? These questions are best discussed with the groomer. He will recommend the correct care depending on the type of pet’s coat.
We always comb out carefully and carefully. Before the procedure, it is better to moisten the coat so that it does not get confused and does not break. This can be done with leave-in conditioners and detangling sprays (for example, two-phase spray H 270, Essensuals spray from ISB, Hair revitalaizer 1 All Systems antistatic, etc.).
Nothing complicated, agree? And the result is worth it!
Healthy and beautiful coats for your pets!
