The basic lines are from the back of the head to the back, hips, and tail, the line down the back, and the chin, chest, and abdomen. ■Divide the coat in two, hold the other side of the hair, and brush slowly from near the roots of the hair towards you. For the face, hold the muzzle with your hand so that it doesn't move unexpectedly. ■If there are already mats, first loosen them carefully with your fingers, then use a comb or pin brush to comb them out before using the slicker. ■Long-haired breeds and breeds with strong curls are prone to matting, so it is important to brush them every day. 〈Volume Up Grooming Method〉 ■First, perform the basic grooming method to remove tangles. ■Next, point the slicker in the opposite direction of the coat flow, insert the pins into the coat, and pull upwards. (Do not pull sideways while in the opposite direction) ●Maintenance ■Remove tangled loose hair frequently with a coarse comb, and when dirty, wash with a mild detergent and rinse, dry thoroughly, and store cleanly.
