Shoshi's hair has always been wild but as she likes to take the rubber bands out her bangs kept fraying and so did her hair hanging down from her ears so I cut the hair hanging from the ears shorter and gave her bangs. The issue with bangs is you have to do it over and over again especially if their hair grows fast. You also have to take the hair that hangs forward, section off the rest and cut across straight till you get mid section above the eyes and then you angle down so it falls correctly.
I hate bangs but it works for Shoshi and she has LONG bangs so I cut them weekly. So if you see her in bangs and go hey I thought you hate them - well I often do things for the dogs for them - not for me. :-)
Shoshi rarely knots these days but her coat has been thinned out a great deal. The more you thin the more it doesn't grow back thick again. For Shoshi you can't tell. She truly has a full bodied hair type but on a straight thin hair type it would.
Levon, Trigger, Pepper and Scruffy are hanging out and having a great time. It keeps raining off and on. Nathan is taking a nap smothered by dogs and my hard drive is dying so no photos till I replace the drive - hopefully tonight. Mr. Jazzy departs tonight and has had his bath. I believe he had a grand time. Miss him - we will!
