Everyone loves naturally full tails. Yet, conventional care prevents them. Below are efficient and cost-effective ways to achieve gorgeous tails.

1. Heads Up

Most shampoos use sodium chloride (salt!) which strips natural protective oils. Detanglers are expensive, toxic and suffocate hair, promoting breakage.

2. Comb Wet

Wet hair stretches. It is more forgiving. Use a big comb on clean, wet tails.

3. Twist & Hold

To protect the length and roots, first twist the tail. Then hold the bottom. Gently comb below your grip, always from the bottom as you work your way up the tail. Organize hair to the root.

4. Pick Daily

Use your fingers to pick pieces apart, separating strands to their base.

If you use Lucky Braids All-In-One Shampoo, you won’t need other: whitening, medicated, shine, color, anti-fungal, conditioning, clean rinse, dust repellant, nor detangling products.

It enriches coats, always rinses easily and reduces tangles with the routine noted above.

Lucky Braids All-In-One Shampoo effectively treats: scratches, dander, rainrot, fungus, scurf, bumps and itching. Best of all, it leaves tails extra full and easy to maintain.
