Start with just a band...even if only for an hour or so...gradually leave it on longer and longer, then graduate to a light weight accessories attached to the hair and band,...always supervise the little ones with hair accessories - even just a band - as they can choke on them. Gracie and Carly always have their top knot banded - it's now a natural extension of them (they prefer it, don't like their hair in their eyes). I only put on the bows when we go out of house.
