I was wondering what are some things you can do to brighten up the hair coats on my show do to brighten up the hair coats on my show calves? Their hair is just a little dull calves? Their hair is just a little dull looking. I am rinsing twice a day and using Main and Tail conditioner after I blow them dry they get infusium 23 mix half with water blow into their hair I am washing with shampoo twice a week.  thank you for the advice.

cheap fix. Is when you are done and blowing them out. Blow some Olive Oil in them. It is a product found at Walmart in the ethnic hair section. Green can. It is meant specifically for dryer hair. It puts a nice luster in the hair and is great for the skin. It is also cheap. We use it sometimes in place of Pink oil at shows. You can get it at sally's beauty supply as well in bulk.

I found REVIVE hair and skin conditioner really adds some shine to them.

We use Revive too. I think it's less than 8.00 a can. Just make sure when you are blowing it in you don't blow it all out like you do with the water. Good luck.

We use Revive also. It runs about 8.75 a can here. We spray it over the entire body, comb in with a sullivans stimulator fluffer comb, then go over again with a rice brush, then blow it in. It works really good.
If you brush or comb it first you wont blow it out as much. Olive oil might be a cheaper solution though. Heard it works pretty good.

And what would that be?
Motions. Right off the top of my head. Their are a couple others that Wal-Mart carries or you can go to a beauty supply place like Sally's. You have to look in the ethnic section to find these products.

I like Kleen Sheen also. I almost like it better than Revive. But boy is it PRICEY. But it works great!!! Another thing you might use is like Zach said Bright Lights works well. We use it as a whitening agent for calves with white on them and we use it as an overall shampoo for all the cattle. It really puts a shine on the coat.
