Tip #5 —Protecting and Repairing Hair on Weather Dam Does: A Weekly Hair Care Routine with TJ Todd, Sales Manager — West
“When it comes to showing weather dam does week after week, frequent clipping can take a toll on their hair—especially along the top-line. Repeated grooming without proper care can weaken hair follicles, lead to breakage, and cause long-term damage to hair quality. To combat this, we’ve developed a simple and effective routine using Sullivan’s Kleen Sheen and the Sullivan’s Infuser line of products. These two, when used together, provide deep nourishment to the hair while helping repair damage caused by over-clipping. Below is what we do weekly as our hair care routine:
Step 1: Blow Out the Hair
Start by blowing out the goat with either Sullivan’s Beast or Air Express III to remove any loose hair, dust, or debris. This helps prep the coat and stimulates the hair follicles for growth.
Step 2: Wash and Dry Thoroughly
Next, give the doe a full rinse and wash with Sullivan’s Volumizer shampoo. Make sure the body and legs are completely dry before moving to the next step. While drying, blow the hair in the direction you want it to lay—this helps in training the hair and keeping the overall look polished.
Step 3: Apply Product
Once the animal is dry, shake both the Kleen Sheen and Infuser products well before applying. Then, coat the entire body. Use a comb to work the product in, and blow it deep into the hair and hide. These products are designed to be left in—no rinsing necessary. We’ve found that even after the very first treatment, there’s a noticeable improvement in the texture and strength of the hair.
And an additional bonus tip; These products aren’t just for weekly use—they can be applied daily when additional repair or hair conditioning is needed.”
