With Toki, what helped was doing it quickly, sloppily, and frequently and giving a treat afterward (you can work on making it look pretty once she'll let you mess with her hair more). It also helped to do it while she was sleepy or worn out. Now she will sit still long enough for me to comb her hair, part it, gather a nice little top knot, and wrap a band around it several times. It sure can be frustrating getting them used to it! |
