I always put Keeley's bangs up in a little "sumo" hairstyle. (My hubby does't like the term "top knot" it is too girly
) But I use the ouchless hair elastics and pull it up and do it until the elastic is tight. BUT be sure not to make the hair too tight, I had a groomer tell me it could make them have eye problems if they aren't able to get their eyes closed.
I always give him a yummy treat afterwards and he is starting to let me do it without putting up a fight--- because he knows what comes once the hair is done.
