Top Tips

  • Pull very small amounts of hair at a time and shape the tail over a period of one or two weeks.
  • Afterwards, wipe the areas you pulled from with a damp cloth in case of any irritation or pain.
  • Wrap the tail in a bandage for around twenty minutes after to shape the tail and ensure the hairs are flat.
