Hi, I was just in the same place as you, my boy would not stay still for 2 seconds when it came to topknot . But everyday I would sit him in front of me and gently brush his topknot hair and usually he would be on the move after I had just combed it once but surprisingly at about 7months he stayed still a bit longer until now at 8months he sits still has his hair done then gets a treat and cuddle. I thought it would never happen so hang in the because slow and steady wins the race
