Description

"

The Hairy Universe of Handstripping is a nearly 300-page deep dive into one of the least understood — yet essential — techniques in coat care. As fewer groomers learn to hand-strip, more wire and silk-coated dogs are being clipped instead, often changing the coat's texture, colour, and weather resistance permanently, without owners ever knowing there was another option.


Written by groomers and educators Mia Övernäs and Carola Copland, drawing on a combined 30+ years of pet and show grooming experience, the book goes beyond "how" to explain "why" — covering coat biology, hair growth, skin health, tools, and the principles behind building and maintaining a correctly handstripped coat.


The authors have also discussed the book on the Dog Grooming Business Help & Support podcast with Bill Betts.


 


Whether you're troubleshooting a coat that "doesn't look right," trying to protect your hands during long sessions, or simply want to understand the craft before you commit to it, this book brings evidence and decades of hands-on experience together in one place.
