A yorkie does not need "thick" hair for a nice top knot. Top knot hair should be grown starting between the eyes above the bridge of the nose this eliminates lose hair getting into their eyes. Hair taken from the back of their heads is used in top knots to give it a fuller, thick looking top knot. Look at some utube videos to get a better understanding of how a top knot is made up.
BTW Cody's hair is not banded everyday while at home, I band and use bows when we go out and about, at home I use small claws or baby or young girls barrettes to keep his hair out of his eyes. CVS and Riteaid have a nice selection of small barrettes, scrunchies and claws. When Miss Katy gets use to something on her heard you can go online and buy fancy clip on bows to cover up latex bands. One of our members mimimomo has a online store with beautiful hair clips. Here is the link if you are interested. www.toplinepet.com |
Thank you for taking the time to write all this up! I really appreciate it. The Rat Tail Comb???? Why Did I NOT think of that! I have been using my fingers as best I can to loosen the look, and loosen the SURPRISED look eyes! Ha Ha
I asked about the daily pony tail, because of people hair. That is, how it pulls the hair follicles that direction, how it pulls hair out, how it can bald after years of the same daily. So Thank You. I was a bit worried.
Katy has been wearing Barrettes, tucked up between the front of her pony tail and head. She's really pretty good about it all. (better than I would have thought)
Not a great photo. But this is how she has been wearing it, barrettes, as you said, when going out.....and the other day...... LOL .....I had that danged thing, with barrette PERFECT for a change.....and by the time we got there, she had rolled her head around and..... well?, you know! Ha Ha
