| Getting Bows Out Can you tell me how to get Lucinda's bows out without having to cut the band? I have not been able to "untwist" the band. If I pull, then of course, it pulls her hair. What do you do? Thank you! |

| Did you use a plain latex band to create the ponytail first before adding the bow to the hair? If you do that, you should only need to wrap the bow elastic around once or twice (depends on the amount of hair you pull up into the ponytail). If the bow is wrapped somewhat losely, you should be albe to grab the elastic and remove it quite easily. If you can't grasp one of the elastic loops with your fingers and start unwrapping it, you may just have to cut it off. If you grasp the hair close to the base of the head while you're pulling on the elastic it will stop the hair from pulling on her head so it won't hurt her. I dont' know if this will help... I've never heard of any tricks to getting these suckers out. I use these cheap colored ouchless elastics from the dollar store and they actually will break when i pull them out at the end of the day so they come out easily. I would then put a bow over that elastic, tight enough to stay on, but not so tight that it has to hold the hair up.

| Yea, I've heard too that the latex bands are the best. You can get them from an orthodontist. I haven't had a chance to try them. I've been using the small colored rubber bands. They stretch out after a few uses, but hold really well. When I take them out at the end of the day I sometimes lose a small amount of hair - depends on how much of a rush I'm in. On top of the band I put one of those little claw clippies - they're SOOO cute! On Pepper, because he has more hair than Josie (she's only 5 months old), we use small scrunchie-like bands. They work REALLY good and never take any hair. Of course they probably don't hold quite like the latex ones would, but the colors look really cute and we never have to worry about broken or pulled out hair. Don't you just love to comb your Yorkie???? I think they're the dolliest little things with their hair all done up! Smiles, Allison
