| I take Bella's out every night. I like to give her a break from it for a little bit.

Ditto... The topknots are not tight...maybe even a little too loose at times. Sometimes, they are scrunchie-less and sheep-doggish by morning......but it has never been an issue. Brody refers to the scrunchies as "chew toys" to be held firmly in Yorkie front teeth so Mommy can see and get a case of 'the gimmies' and then the game of "keep away" can properly begin. When Mommy loses interest, the scrunchie is surrendered...errr...that means Mommy snatches it when Brody is not looking.

| Oh, yeah. If a topknot is on day and night it needs to be changed at least once if not twice a day. I use the latex free grooming bands that are easier on the hair but the hair will still get stressed if the band is left in too long. Gracie has a busy day playing with cats and getting into all kinds of activities so the hair has plenty of opportunity to get a work out. Many times she sleeps under the blanket at night so she needs her own hair dresser to follow her around. I have though about cutting it but have not figured out a way to style her head hair that will go with the rest of her long body hair. |

| I use orthodontist elastics as they are the only thing that will hold Crimson's thin hair. I cut them out at night.

YT Addict | I have tried ones you get at dollar tree for human hair they were too big for Sadie's silky hair also tried the ones made from string kinda like a scrunchie. Finally I realized my youngest daughter has braces and we have a ton of elastics for her . I started using them today and they are perfect I did use ones for dogs they were too thick it was either too loose or too tight but now I'm using my daughters elastics but rest assured she won't miss them I found 20 small bags full lol

| The bands made for braces are much like the latex free grooming b bands that I buy. Much easier on the hair than the regular rubber ones. Amazon.com: Latex Free Dog Grooming Bands by... They have other sizes available. |

| I always take Bella's out, fluff up and scratch her head and she loves it...it is just our thing to do when getting ready for bed.
