| Need hair stiffener?? Suggestions I trying to grow out Zhoie's eyebrows to put in a topknot. Growing VERY slowly. However, they are hanging so much the poor girl has to tilt her head back to see, but still won't read a band. errrr What could I use that would make them really stiff, like stand up stiff until they grow more?

| You can try Topknot gel. Pet Silk makes one: Fresh Pets - Where America Shops for Pet Products! But I have not had any luck with something working on a continued basis during this "grow out" period. I have just resigned myself to giving Ben a visor cut so he can see.

| There are a couple of things that I few things that I use for those show topknots. But, they might help. All system's invisable hold gel. Stick-Um-UP. And the one I use for that final hold is IT hairspray.....just make sure you cover the eyes before you spray. Oh! Plush Puppy has a product called sit stay....great for all those fly aways....even at the muzzle.

Do you have a pic I could see of the length of the eyebrows? This will be a little time consuming, but daily you can put in one of the gels that stiffen the hair, and on the third day wash out the face/topknot. Try banding back the longer hair behind the eyebrows then using that gel to brush the eyebrow hair back and into the hair. When you use this type of product it is a good idea to wash face regularly. Hang in there and in 2-3 mths you will be able to band back

Stick-um-up from Showoffproducts.com IT Hairspray - CVS drug store, they have the small container. Get the super hold. You can get the large cans at WhalMart but, not the small ones.

| Have you heard of Cindra Sculpting Gel? Someone on the forum recommended this to me. Can't remember who it was. They used it on their show dog. I bought a large jar a few months ago. Betty Boop went to a groomer about 5 months ago and she SHAVED the hair around her eyes without me asking her to. It is bad right now and sticking in her eyes. Poor baby. I use the Cindra but it always looks like she has gel in her hair. I think it has holding power, but I just hesitate to use it often because of the way it looks after application. Maybe I'm not applying it correctly.

| Amazon has it on their site - if you decide to order from them please go through the YHR site to Amazon so they get a percentage

| I just ordered the All Systems through Amazon on the YHR site! I have high hopes for this product to hold Betty Boop's bangs and eyebrows until they grow out. I think Betty Boop and Zhoie are in the same boat.

| You can try putting baby barettes to keep the hair up. Rio has very fine wispy hair that falls out of her top knot all the time, so I will put barettes in her hair from time to time. My only problem is when her baby brother Bullet tries to pull them out of her hair! I worry he might swallow it! |

I'm off to CVS now, to buy the IT Hair Spray as the secondary support, in keeping those bangs out of her face...pssst, pssst. LOL I can feel it....it's going to work.
