Shih Tzu Haircuts Top 6

Before getting into the styling tips and ideas, there are few things that a Shih Tzu owner needs to know –

• Do not compare their hair with fur. Furs can grow up to a certain length like 2-2.5 inches maximum and then it breaks. But hair can grow much longer in length.
• Unlike other breeds, they do not shed hair everywhere on the floor
• Shredded hair can stick to their body. This can create knots and matting.
• Regular brushing and cleaning is very important
• Do not use any harsh chemical shampoo while cleaning their hair; rather opt for shampoos specified for canines as it will clean other germs too.
