When I use the little scrunchies for top knots...which is most of the time, Brody will take Mia's scrunchie out...I 'think' she asks him to...I've seen them 'whispering' just before he snatches it...lol
If their bows 'need' to stay in, try gathering the top knot, divide it in half, band the front, put the bow band on the front half, then join the back half to the front and band just above the front half and bow bands. It the top knot is long, you can make a little 'knob' at the top by looping the hair back down toward the head, and band at the base of the 'knob' but above the other bands then comb the rest of the top knot down the back of the head and neck or in front of the ear. Brody's groomer did that (in front of the ear) and I copied it...it gets very neat...like magic. To make sure you don't cut the bow band when removing, try using a different color band for the top knot than what's on the back of the bow. I have used clip bows between the front and back halves, too, but I worry they'll swallow the metal clip so I only use clip bows when they're heavily supervised and/or distracted...French clips are supposed to stay in better, but I've read that they break the hair...saw it first about human hair, then about dogs' hair...so I don't know if I'd use them on a regular basis for long periods of time.
Good luck! |
