Usually I do two bands on the topknot. One if front and one behind the first one. Then you place your bow between the two sections and it makes it very secure. Bows can be choking hazards so never leave your dog unattended when wearing a bow unless you are sure you secured it properly. |
I tried to do that two bands technique before and it didn't really work out because her hair isn't thick enough for the second band to hold securely. I bought her A LOT of bows but I don't think I've gotten to use any of them, lol. I have decided to stick to bands for now because her hair is still growing. I'm going to try bows again when her top knot length is at the top of her head.
Also, thank you everyone for the band suggestions! I have tried all of the types suggested and they all turned out to be too big or just didn't work out.. Especially orthodontic bands, I couldn't even get them to loop twice. Loom bands are really cheap and come in nice colors too but they are big. I basically have a whole big bag of bands that are not working, lol.
I ordered the lainee bands since I haven't given those a try and they are pretty popular.. Hopefully these will end up being stretchy enough to make a secure loop! I ordered the size small 1/4".. I'll update when I receive them
