Poodle hair, characterized by its dense, curly texture, is prevalent in the coat of the poodle breed. Its distinctive appearance stems from an abundance of tightly wound protein strands known as keratin, resulting in a springy, hypoallergenic quality.
Poodle hair has gained recognition for its durability and resistance to shedding, making it a popular choice among allergy sufferers. Notably, the "clip cord" technique, developed in the 1930s, revolutionized poodle grooming, allowing for intricate and elaborate haircuts that showcase the versatility of their unique hair.
