advice needed- restoring a shaved double coat

this lovely lady is a border collie mix and before me her coat was i believe clipped with a guard comb many times. her coat now is this very fried looking hair, little difference in the texture between undercoat and her guard hairs.

any products or tips for restoring her hair a little bit? i am a huge fan of carding coats when it’s applicable, just unsure if anyone has experience with a coat that is damaged like this.

first pic is when i brush all her hair down, when she gets up and shakes her hair looks like she got electrocuted lol.

Bar Bus Groomers is the hourly really worth it?

So I am looking for a weekend shift and am in between two mobile companies one offering only 30% with rebooking at 80% it goes up to 40% commission. Bark bus offering $21.50 with sign on bonus and they claim after tips the hourly is closer to the $30 range per hour. My question is do the tips really outweigh the low starting pay or is it just the rainbows and unicorns they use to get employees? I am in a massive city so I don't think volume will be an issue I'm just worried the tips aren't going to be as great as they claim. Theoretically I can make more on commission but I'm not paid for drive time or cleaning so I think the hourly is seeming more worth it just so I don't work a single second without being paid.

Tldr: I would appreciate feedback from anyone who actually works with bark bus because there aren't many places hiring weekend work only in my area and I don't want to turn down a commission rate job if I ultimately end up making less because they sell me on fluff

Help: what's the real name of this bow style?!

I make really nice bows, but I don't know the name of this style to find a tutorial. I just see them called "show bows," but no tutorials come up when I type that. I want to start making these for drop coat topknots. They seem simple enough, but I'm not sure how they make them stay round and poofy: I'm assuming steaming or starching.
