I think I've seen my hair stylist do that trick with my hair, too. I'll give it a try.

If you just want it to lay back, even if it is just until you trim it, what I do with Brody's top knot is, when I put on the band, I make sure the last wrap is on the front and I put the band just a smidgen higher than the other wraps so it pushes the top knot backwards. It it's not enough, I just nudge it back a little more. This works great for everyday.
If you wanted to, you could also either, on the last wrap or using a second (or third) band, make a little 'knob' top knot by looping the top knot hair over about a inch and band the hair together again...
For trimming, you can also use the grooming shears that are not straight across when you cut and cut in 'slices' so the jags are uneven and look more natural...like hair grows out...at slightly different speeds.
Good luck.  |
I've tried the looping it into a knob, but when he starts running and playing it ends up coming out. Thanks for the tip about using the wrap of the band to force the topknot back. I'll give that a try until I get the courage to try to trim it up a bit.
