Growing out hair.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ok, so I am debating yet again..lol..about wether I want to keep Foxy's hair nice, neat and short or go with a longer look since colder weather is here already! Any tips for growing her hair out? Shes 5, will her age have anything to do with it? Thanks!

It has been my experience that winters were easier when their hair is shorter... keeping long hair from matting under a sweater can be a full-time job. But, it would take time for it to grow out, so I'd keep it well conditioned

If you have never grown her hair out it is fun to do one time at least and see if you like it. The winter is a great time to just let it grow out too. It will probably take a couple of years to get some substantial length.

It is fun to have it grow out and they look so pretty. It is really easy, if they have a good silky coat. I also wrap their coats to protect it and also it is better, so liess stactic in winter. Good luck!

Her hair was in horrible shape when I first got her because of her previous home. But with good nutrition and TONS of love its better, I wouldnt say its exactly silky, but its definitely better than it was. The only thing that bugs me is those little pieces of hair in her eyes, I always get the urge to cut them....

Lock up your scissors so you have to think about it as your trying to get to them....lol It's tough growing that part of the hair out, but if you don't, you are forever cutting it to keep it out of their eyes.

I think winter is great time to grow out hair because you can employ the use of sweaters & hoodies if she's looking a little shaggy and no ones the wiser

Just comb morning & night to be sure you keep tangles from becoming matts.
