Ladymom (who sells the most adorable clips!) sells scissors that are perfect for cutting out these little bands. They are very small, and one blade has a notch at the end. You just slip this notch into the band, and snip!

Mine is only 4 months old, we have tried a few times with the dollar store rubebr bands and she hates it, she runs away and rubs her head on the ground right after it goes in and trys to get it out. I have gotten her to leave it in a few days at a time by being repetitive and giving a treat afterwards. Just like the collar or harness, she stopped trying to get those off after a few tiem of them on. I have my daughter standing by with a treat in hand so as soon as the band is in she gets a treat. Good Luck!

.....I have one little problem, though.......Cece always wants to get Sasha's out and most of the time succeeds when I'm not lookin'!!

Aren't those great scissors?

I can't imagine doing topknots without a pair!
