LOL!! After I do up Bella's topknot but before I put the finishing touches on it, I always check her for "surprised eyes".....I gather her hair up while she's on her back in my lap, but I roll her over so her chin is on my leg when I twisting the band in, so I can't see if I got it too tight until I'm done. Pretty regularly I have to hold onto the base of the hairs (on the side that looks surprised) and pull on the rubber band a bit to loosen it....that does the trick!! Of course, Bella's hair is just long enough that it's in her eyes but not long enough quite yet for anything more than a tiny knot. I keep hers up all the time (even at night) because the hairs poke her eyes and make them tear, which I'm certain cannot be more comfortable than no knot. When her hair gets longer I'll try the terry ones, but she's a bit fussy so they might not stay. For a few minutes right after baths AND a topknot re-do, she drags her whole body, face, head on the ground. I guess she doesn't like the clean feeling
, and I know she doesn't like the topknot....she gets used to it though.
