Tail Care: Tips & Tricks
🌿 HEALTHY TAILS TAKE THOUGHTFUL CARE
It’s not just about spraying and brushing — healthy tails require the right tools, the right method, and a little intention.
🖌️ 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.
🪮 HOW TO BRUSH — THE RIGHT WAY
Step 1: Start at the bottom of the tail.
Step 2: Gently twist the tail, leaving 4–5 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.
🪞 This method also works for manes: twist small sections, spray, and detangle gently.
🌱 PROMOTE GROWTH + STRENGTH
Healthy tails start at the tail bone.
Massage the dock to stimulate circulation and support regrowth.
Check for dryness or irritation—rubbing often signals skin issues.
Clean gently with a sulfate-free shampoo, then follow with a deep conditioner.
🛁 We recommend:
Mane Magic Conditioning Shampoo
Intensive Conditioner (massaged into the tail bone)
