No matter what type of attachment you like on your bow, you should make the topknot with a band first. Some people can use the cheap bands from the $1 with no issue or breakage, and others can't. I actually buy the more expensive (still so cheap) latex bands for mine.
Depending on the size of your pup's head and how thick her hair is, you may need to start with lighter weight or smaller bows (single loop, 3/8" or 5/8") until her topknot can support the weight of a bigger or heavier bow.
For clips, you just clip the bow underneath/in front of the banded topknot, and it should have a hard time moving. If her topknot is thinner (one of my pup's hair has thinned out a lot while she was dealing with some health issues), I've found using an extra band on the topknot itself kind of makes it stronger/strudier and better able to support the bows.
For the banded bows, you again start with the topknot in a bow. It took me forever to figure out how to do this (I practiced on my finger - no really, I did!), but basically, put the bow on the way you want it face and sit, then simply twist the rubber band attached to the bow behind it once and loop it again once (maybe twice), so you are looking at 2 to 3 wraps total, again depending on how thick the topknot is.
There is another way to kind of lock the bows in place, but it requires a lot more effort, and I don't think I'm as good at it, because I often don't like how the bow kind of lays down on my girls' heads when I do it this way. You basically make a smaller topknot with the front section of the hair, then place the bow on that topknot, then you take the other half of the hair on the back of the head and join it to the front topknot that already has the bow and as you tighten the back topknot, the band should slide down and hide behind the bow. Whew! Let me see if I can find the tutorial from way back when for this one, because my explanation was horrible.
I've tried gripzees, and I'm personally not a fan, but I know several people like them.
