1. Shampoo is one of the most important selections you will make in choosing the right grooming products. Continue shampooing without restoring the pH balance with a cream rinse acidifier, such as Summerwinds Fine-L-Shine Cream Rinse, will cause the cuticle layer on the shaft of the hair to open resulting in dry, dull, brittle hair and breakage will occur because the chemical makeup of the shampoo itself is made with an alkaline base. I will say it again, hair and skin are acid and do not like to be in an alkaline condition. Especially with harsh shampoos formulated for human’s pH instead of dog’s pH. For this reason, SummerWinds spent countless hours of extensive research development of all of our SummerWinds shampoo formulas. Our shampoo line features shampoo's and baths we feel are the 4 essential shampoo's needed to maintaining a competitive show coat.

4 Reasons Why You Should Be Using SummerWinds REMOVE-A-WAY Clarifying Pet Shampoo ASAP..
1. TO REMOVE ANY HAIR PRODUCT BUILDUP I.E. CONDITIONER AND MOISTURIZER RESIDUE, WAX, HAIRSPRAYS, DIRT & OIL.

Clarifying shampoos are designed to remove stubborn build-up from your pets coat such as silicones, waxes, moisturizers, from your regular shampoo, conditioners, styling product, hair oils, mousses, hairsprays, dry shampoo. And they help to lift away mineral deposits from hard water and chlorine, even environments air pollution and chemicals that build up on the hair shaft. BUT, Most clarifying shampoo products contain acetic acid. A chemical compound, though mild as far as acid goes, is known for its de-scaling abilities. As necessary as it is to keep the hair shaft clear of buildup it can be very difficult to find a clarifying shampoo that won't cause more harm than benefit. Many clarifying shampoos are not known for their conditioning abilities. With an improper formulation and harsh stripping agents in the ingredients some clarifying shampoos are great for aiding in the removal of unwanted buildup of oil, styling products, and other grime, but also remove the natural oils in hair and skin, leaving the hair dull and dry out. We at SummerWinds have worked long and hard on formulating our Remove-A-Way Clarifying Shampoo. Finally arriving with a perfect answer to how to remove buildup with a mild formula is our Remove-A-Way Clarifying Shampoo is effective in removing product buildup or any accumulation buildup on the hair shaft. It is formulated not to deep cleanse so thoroughly as to remove any natural oils and moisture in the hair and skin or residue from conditioning agents in shampoos and conditioners that we want to remain on the hair shaft. Along with maintaining the same 6.5 pH balance that is mild and gentle as all the other shampoos in our SummerWinds® line.

Of course, everyone would like to know how to exactly mix formula rascal to use Protect-A-Coat for their breed of animal or length of coat, their breed or mix breed. But, it's not quite as easy as that....
First, the environment your animal live in, i.e. does you animal live indoors, on carpet, nylon, wool, etc., tile, wood, concrete, etc.. Or does your animal live outdoors, is her/she one concert, pavers, gravel, dirt, grass, or any other surfaces? Or both indoors and outdoors> But, no matter, please know you can never mix it wrong! If, you think...it's not enough product per racial of water dilution the first time, NOT, to worries, next time add more product and less water. No matter how you decide to dilute Protect-A-Coat, you can never do it wrong... Your animals coat will always benefit from it's conditioning agents. It's sort or a trail, and error process for each animal for each breed, until you find just the right dilution for each of your animals for your breed or their particular coat and of course you animals coat and the coat condition..
