Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe video demonstrates the professional grooming process for a dog named Zag, focusing on the transition from bathing to fluff drying. The groomer explains how to use specific products and techniques to straighten the coat, ensure manageability, and achieve a high-quality lift before final styling.
Right, so Zag's been bathed and he's been blasted. He's had a deep cleansing shampoo, so I want the integrity of the coat, I want it nice and nice and clean.
And you can see here, even with the blasting, it's even just by, in a few minutes, we've started to get the curl back.
So, this is still slightly damp, so I'm just going to use some coat management spray on it, just a nice fine mist.
And now I'm going to start working at the bottom of the leg, and I'm going to be fluff drying.
So, about three strokes a second to really straighten all this up and get it manageable.
So, I'm holding him, this is his stifle joint, so I'm going to put two fingers just here, so I can lift his leg up.
And he's not going to pull away, and now he's nice and comfortable, and I'm just going to fluff, fluff, fluff, fluff, fluff, and work my way around the leg.
Now, the great thing about fluff drying is, there's no direction of hair growth on the table.
So, you can brush upwards, you can brush forwards, you can brush backwards, you can brush in every direction to get that lovely, lovely lift.
And you can see with the coat management spray, the brush is just gliding straight through the coat,
and now you can see with the dryer how I've got that root really straight.
My comb is just gliding all the way through.
And that's the wide side of the comb, so let's change to the fine.
Now you can see that coat management has really made the coat manageable.
And now we've got our fluff leg ready to spray.
