I use the terry cloth bands mad e by goody (at any drugstore or walmart in the hair goods section) these are the same bands I use for everyday keeping topknot up.

Update: I employed your method for chewing time and it worked perfectly! Maximo seemed to appreciate having his hair out of the way, although he looked so strange that he was almost creepy, lol. I'll try to get a picture next time we do it.

For moustaches make sure you only take moustache from upper lip and end just before the hinge of the jaw. Band it


Hope this makes sense.

Change them daily by cutting them out with band scissors or you are defeating the purpose. You don't need papers for banding. I sent the photo for parting reference. It's all I could send now.

Thank you Gemy and Elle -- I'm going to practice the fine work of banding. I feel like all thumbs when I work on Maximo's face.
