My girls LOVE our little topknot morning ritual. If one's due for a bath & doesn't get a topknot first thing in the morning I have to console her or even pretend I'm putting one in! My advice is much like Nancy1999's. Use a small rubber band, make sure it's wrapped tight around the hair, but not tight pulling the hair. To me the rubber band is the key, anything else doesn't stay in & is too heavy. Then I add a barrette by catching most of the hair in the barrette back-that insures it'll stay all day. (So in other words, don't just close the barrette around the whole topknot, the back of the barrette should catch most of the hair in front of the topknot, but not all of it.) My girls don't have super thick hair so I make sure my barrettes aren't too heavy. Good luck! Hopefully your pup will start loving his daily topknot care. Of course, take it out at night & scratch his head really good & tell him what a good boy he is!!! |
