The nylon bands are the best to use because they do not break the coat as easily. Banding the topknot can eventually cause damage to the hair. When you dog rubs its head or scratches it will cause the hair to break. Also, the type of coat your Yorkie has can effect how easily it breaks. A silk coat is very tough and a cottony coat breaks easier. I do not put any bands in my show male's topknot unless I am getting ready to show him. I use the soft colorful scrunchies that they sell at Wal-mart. |
