It is beyond hard to make a ring top knot look like those..they make videos to teach just that one aspect of grooming.
No cutting of any kind allowed..I use gel to keep the hair laying down while it grows, so it won't stick in the eyes.
What I find so hard is the teasing and setting glue..afterwards it breaks the hairs off..so I have to use more styling glue and spray, more teasing and poofing...then the top knot gets ratty looking and thin..this part is a true art and a handler sure earns their money in my eyes.
