| Top Knot advice! My 4 month old needs help! Hello, I need some help with my four month old baby Chloe! Her top knot seems to turn to the side and wont sit strait! Im using the little rubber bands then putting in the bow in. The bow is attached to the rubber bands too. Please help! What am I doing wrong? They are so cute but its driving me nuts that they are not strait!

| When you put the hair up use a separate rubber band to hold the hair and then add the bow after. Mimimomo sells some bows that have clips and they work really well. You can adjust them so they sit on the head where you want them to. Send her a PM and ask what she has in stock.

| I use the one to tie it up and the other with the bow. Wookie is 5 months and I only put it up so he gets used to it for the future. About 75% of his eyebrows are finally long enough to fit up there As time goes by, it becomes easier and neater as the hair grows.

| I use 2 bands, in addition to the bow. First off, gather the hair that's going to be placed into a topknot and divide it into 2 sections -- a front and a back. Wrap one band around the front section, followed by the bow. Then gather the back section, combine it with the front section and use another band to hold the hairs in place. If her hair isn't long enough for a topknot yet, you can always do piggy tails |

| Do you take the rubber band out each night? do you use anything else in it at night, if you do? |

| Lady's hair is too long to leave it out without a band. I do give her a little head massage when I change her topknot daily. It's important to make sure it's not too tight. Use the end of a rat tail comb to loosen it slightly. |
