Title: Handstripping the head
Post by: Kezm on April 18, 2022, 11:00:28 AM
I took my dog to a groomers and asked for him to be hand stripped. Well when I picked him up his head looked like a toilet brush and had obviously been clipped. It was spiky and sticked up in about 3 different directions. Not the smooth look I wanted. She didn't even blend the head into the ears so it looked really unnatural.

My question is, once the hair grows out will I be able to get his head hand stripped? The alternative would be to his head clipped very short so it's not spiky but I don't really like their heads like that.

What do others do with the heads if they aren't hand stripped?
