| I'm such a dork, I can't even put a bow on right! Good grief, I have bows with elastic bands on them and I don't know how to put them on, I tried and poor Bailey cried, so obviously it hurt him I even tried on a hair piece I have and was like what the hell am I doing!? I'm thinking this is why I have no children

| Argh, I think the bands are good, I just never tied such a little band on hair before and I seem to pull to much..I'm not trying again anytime soon because I don' want to torture my poor baby!

| It takes some practice...I'm real good at it now lol...But be sure when you're done that they can blink!!! If you're not sure, blow gently into his eyes, and see if he blinks...If he doesn't then pull the hair from behind the elastic and losen it up...Poor Apple had to put up w/me, for a while, now she just sits still and lets me take care of business...I part it from the inside of the ear on each side, and make a part right behind both ears, and voila, pick up that hair and band it...I use three turns and twists, then I add a bow for special occasions...Everyday use is just a "groomer band" to keep the hair up and out of her eyes...Be calm, you'll get it And your not a dork, just learning a new skill |

| I am horrible at bows and bands! Poor Chloe looks at me like WHY?! after I put hers in. The bows are usually sideways and fall out after a couple minutes of her rubbing her head against the floor and the bands , well I can get them in now (after alot of practice), but either she cant shut her eyes when I'm done or they are too loose and come right out. I can't seem to get it quite right. This is the reason I have sons !!! God knew better than to give me girls. Poor things would have had horrible hair

| It gets easier with practice and try using a comb to section out the hair for his ears and try to keep it somewhat loose, it took me some time to get used to putting them into Roxies hair but once it was longer and the more I tried it got easier. Also try using not rubberbands for at home, try using the little bands for kids hair that have clothe around them, that way it doesnt break his hair. I attached a pic of a friends dog with the soft band in- it doesnt pull as much as a regular band but practice makes perfect. Good luck.

Awe, Roxie's hair is so long and pretty, Baileys is so fine on top, and not really long enough for a proper bow, I'm going to look for some clips for now.

| I can get the darn bow in, but it's always crooked. Never straight or even. Jemma also kept pulling them out. So last night I said heck with this and buzzed her.
