What can be done about those stubborn hairs around their eyes that just won't stay put? Nikko has teary eyes because there are these little hairs that are too short to slick back and just kind of hang in front of his eyes. The tears dry up and he always has these little crusty deposits around his eyes (yuck). He recently had a haircut (about a month ago) and I don't want to take him in for another trim. I was thinking of applying a hair cream or something to slick these hairs back but I don't want to it to irritate him further. I read somewhere that you can use vaseline but I don't want to put anything greasy on his hair. Any suggestions?
