Whether you're learning to hand strip for the first time or refining your skills after years in the salon, it's a reference you'll return to again and again.

  • The science behind hair growth and coat cycles

  • Wire and silky coat development

  • Hand stripping techniques and timing

  • Tool selection and practical guidance

  • Breed-specific considerations

  • Common myths and misconceptions

If you've ever wondered why we hand strip, not just how, this book belongs on your bookshelf.
