Tail Care: Tips & Tricks

๐ŸŒฟ HEALTHY TAILS TAKE THOUGHTFUL CARE

Itโ€™s not just about spraying and brushing โ€” healthy tails require the right tools, the right method, and a little intention.


๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ CHOOSE THE RIGHT BRUSH

Avoid stiff bristles that can pull or break hair.
We recommend:

Soft or Medium-Soft Bristle Brushes

Detangling Combs

Our tested brushes work beautifully with UNTANGLED and GLISTEN, gently smoothing and detangling without damage.


๐Ÿชฎ HOW TO BRUSH โ€” THE RIGHT WAY

Step 1: Start at the bottom of the tail.
Step 2: Gently twist the tail, leaving 4โ€“5 inches untwisted.
Step 3: Brush small sections at a time, moving upward as tangles release.
Step 4: Spray GLISTEN to help soften, moisturize, and reduce breakage.
Step 5: Repeat: Twist. Brush. Smooth.

๐Ÿชž This method also works for manes: twist small sections, spray, and detangle gently.


๐ŸŒฑ PROMOTE GROWTH + STRENGTH

Healthy tails start at the tail bone.

Massage the dock to stimulate circulation and support regrowth.

Check for dryness or irritationโ€”rubbing often signals skin issues.

Clean gently with a sulfate-free shampoo, then follow with a deep conditioner.

๐Ÿ› We recommend:

Mane Magic Conditioning Shampoo

Intensive Conditioner (massaged into the tail bone)
