Junior Guinea Pig
So pretty xI hardly ever brush my longhaired piggies... and I have never trimmed them (only some long hair on one butt, but I made a disaster!).
Once a month I give them a bath... anyway their fur has no knots (only Calliope, 3 colours, has some knot under the belly sometimes)

I also trimmed Calliope's fringe, but my daughters say I did an awful job...I brush Jingle whenever she has lap time. About 5 times a week. I use a soft brush and trim her fur round her bottom.
Mistletoe gets regular fringe trims so that she can see out. Both have occasional baths (just their wet skirts).

actually our piggies are usually crossed with abyssinians and other breeds; therefore they can have different hair. My Calipso (white and brown) came home with a paper from the first vet who certificated she is abyssinian; she had a short hair and many rosettes; now her hair is long; but her face has an abyssinian trait. Calliope has long different hair; also her hair structure is different at the touch... she does not like being brushed... If your girls are young I think their hair will growI just found out there are two kinds of Peruvian piggies: short and long haired. And according to the pictures I've seen, I think I have the short haired. So, thankful, no trimming for my girls, lol.
