Yup. You can test it on your own arm hair or what not to see how it works. It washes right off though.my understanding is that the ear powder is just to help get a better grip on the hair right?
Good advice right here.Anyway ear powder is a must and pluck a little at a time in quick pulls.
Yeah I hate that method and use it very very rarely when I can't seem to get that last little bit of hair and the powder isn't allowing me to get a good enough grip. I worked with a groomer though who did it that way all the time. It kind of freaked me out when I saw her pluck the bushiest bichon ear I had ever seen that way all at one time. I don't even know how she got that much hair in the hemostats to begin with but the ear was totaly bald when she finished with that one round of twist. The dog of course went into meltdown, screaming so loudly they could hear it in the waiting room at the front of the buildingGood advice right here.
When I was learning how to groom, my teacher would get all the hair in the ear in her forceps and lock them, then she would twist them around her finger, ripping ALL the hair out of the ear at once. The dogs would SCREAM and it traumatized me from doing ear hair for a long time.
My groomer (also good friend) does this with my dogs (and I'm assuming more). Of course.. she didn't start right off with that. Mostly uses it for the deep down wad of hair.Yeah I hate that method and use it very very rarely when I can't seem to get that last little bit of hair and the powder isn't allowing me to get a good enough grip.
