The mica swirls around and looks really cool when you shake it. I spray a bit on the ends of my hair to help smooth the split ends. But careful, too much,and it will weigh it down and look greasy. In the Summer, I did a bug spray with it, using catnip, of course, and several other eo's. It was great, because it could be sprayed anywhere. On skin, clothes, gently spritz in hair, spritz the air around where you are sitting.... Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you guessed it I have an outside Samoyed. He never ever comes inside (would pull the place apart) but he is very lovable and is 15 year old. He loves it when I wash him but hates me when I try to comb him out. The tangles are really deep down. So if I could use this on him with just a little bit of work getting it down into the bottom layers would it detangle his wool?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hi Folks! Been a long time since I posted but wanted to jump in on this thread. I like to use straight dimethicone (a little dab'll do ya) over Cyclo. Why? I like the shine, softness, and excellent detangler characteristics of it much better than the cyclo. If you have frizzy hair or a wave, you can straighten it out while drying your hair. Holds wonderfully until the next washing. You can also use a mix of the Cyclo and Dimethicone but I bet you'll notice a slight difference. For some reason, on my hair, the dimethicone alone works better. As far as using it on your dog. You probably could use it (I'd check with a vet first re safety on an animal); but even if I did use it, after brushing him/her out, I think I would wash them once again - gently just to remove the silicone residue. Cyclomethicone does have issues re heat hazard. Just my humble opinion since dogs tend to use their mouth / tongue to lick fur, etc. The second brushing after the second wash might be still be easy. > If this a gret detangling thing, do you think it would work on a > Samoyed dogs really tangled hair????? > > him with just a little bit of work getting it down into the bottom > layers would it detangle his wool? > > Thanks > Barbara PS - I think I might try the dimethicone for the really thick tangles - assuming your vet approved.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 i have great big fine curly hair, that enjoys being frizzy. i currently use a store bought product that i like very much with dimethicone along with a whole bunch of crap fillers in it. i'd be interested in try straight dimethicone or making my own anti frizz serum at home... so does anyone have a recipe and/or can someone direct me to a supplier of such ingredients? much thanks, melanie , " Kathy N " <kruzin2u> wrote: > Hi Folks!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Kathy, When I was still showing dogs, it was amazing the amount of people who would use hair spray on their dogs coat. This would make it 'feel' harsh. I thought it made the coats feels sticky or fake. Lots of people, Great Dane, that I saw for myself, would put black magic marker on their nose. The pigment would appear great. So many things handlers and owners would do to show the 'perfect' dog. Sad really. Not to mention how the magic marker effected their system.
