But I don't know the work involved in keeping the topknot, the bangs are easy and I think they give more attitude

see, I think I have tried cutting Maggie's hair like this before...and her hair just doesn't lay down the right way. it kinda sticks out everywhere. So it didn't look ANYWHERE near this cute LOL

I think I'll just keep the top knot. I am trying different techniques and am hoping something will work. right now, i have it where there is only a little bit pulled back and the rest is laying down...and so far it has stayed in pretty good. no thanks to her tho....as soon as I put it in, she ran around the house rubbing her head and face on everything LOL

The bow even stays in when I use this technique. http://www.thedivadogbowtique.com/howto.php

this is great! thank you! I will definitely give it a try

It is called 1/2 & 1/2. There are "bangs" in front and long hair on top of her head.
Here is a picture of it. I am not sure if it will come through here or not.
It will allow you to keep her topknot it you ever want to put a bow in, or leave the bow out and the hair will just naturally go off to the sides without it looking like a mess.

It is hard to describe here.
I also have adifferent style of topknot that will stay in all day and not come apart.
I have a unique yorkie grooming DVD that shows you my techniques. It is available through my website.

I keep Porsche with bangs. Her hair is so thin with a top knot. It just looks string and she hates it, rubbing her head on everything. lol

NO topnots here....

I do like the hair out of their eyes, so they have eyebrows and bangs, but their hair has been trained these past 3 years to stay back. Roxy's is very good about laying flat and staying back. TJ has more of a lion head.

try putting her topknot in looser. I found that if I use the end of a rat tailed comb to loosen the hair in the top knot, they don't even know it is there

My girls have sensitive heads...Izzie lays down like she's being tortured as I put it in her hair and I have to catch Harlee when she sees me come toward her with a tie...However, she loves getting her hair brushed And if I call Harlee from across the room to take it out, all of a sudden she's my best friend and comes to get it out, it isn't even tight So I give up... So all day I push their hair out of their eyes...
Maybe I should give them a mohawk !! Only kidding !!!

Dexter and Fletcher's mom I just wanted to tell you I LOVE the way you have their hair trimmed. So boyish and cute. I'm big on liking eyebrows too.
