@OP, Beamer's Mom brings up a good point. If you want a topknot, you have to make it first with bands, then just clip the bow (barrette) underneath or pop a bow with bands on top. The bands on bows are for placement only, not to be doubled, twisted, etc.
You should never try to make a topknot with a barrette as they are too small to hold much hair. You can pop them apart if you do. They should just be clipped on as an accent.
Practice makes perfect. Experiment with a few different backings and see what works best for you. |
I know I should be able to, but I can't. The bow ends up all "skewed" and my hands don't hold up too well finagling it in right.
When I make the topknot with the bands, I put the band in, then I slip the band on to the end of the comb (between the last two teeth) and use that to stretch the band around to double it.
Incidentally I learned how to do the three bands in the grooming section, there is a neat pdf book there that illustrates how to put the bow in.
