Would you like to add a splash of color to the toes of any of your light colored pets? Or what about two colors on the lower legs? Award winning creative pet stylist, Lori Craig, shows you how to apply bright colors to any pet. In this lesson she uses her own Chinese Crested to demonstrate how to get this two-toned effect.
To pull the entire look together, Lori shows you how simple it is to add feather extensions. For pets that dont care for bows, feathers can be a great alternative. They are lighter than bows. And they are as light as a feather! Most dogs dont even know they have anything attached to their fur.
This is a very fun look that isnt to challenging to do even if you are a beginner creative stylist.
In this video you will learn:
• How to apply two different colors to the legs
• What hair dye offers the most vibrant color
• What types of products does she feel most comfortable with and why
• Where to get products
• How to put in feather extensions that stay put
