Hand stripping is used for coats described as which?

• A. Soft fluffy coats
• B. Blown rolled and harsh coats
• C. Short straight coats
• D. Fine silky coats

Answer: (B)

Hand stripping is used for coats with a harsh, wiry texture to preserve that texture and remove dead hair. Coats described as blown, rolled, and harsh have the stiffness and rough feel that stripping maintains, helping the coat stay crisp, healthy-looking, and showing the correct color as new hair grows in. Soft fluffy coats, short straight coats, and fine silky coats don’t rely on stripping; they are usually clipped or trimmed to keep the desired soft, smooth appearance, because stripping would soften or blunt their natural texture.
