Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep hair bows on lola's head???? I have put a few in lola's hair but she runs around the house like she's on fire..then eventually it's dangling from a strand of hair. Although i get a little frustrated it is pretty funny seeing the bow just hanging on the side of her head:d thanks!!

oh I know!!! It's the same with my martini!!! I have those TINY little hair ties...that I tie a ribbon bow onto and put in her hair....but she just keeps rubbing her head against things or scratching at it until its out..or she just runs around like a goof until it's totally messed up looking....I was wondering the same thing as you!!!

I start my puppies with just a rubber band. Everyday I have them sit on the grooming table while I put a little product or just water on their top knot, comb a little, and put in a latex rubber band (so it won't break the hairs). Do it everyday for a couple weeks and they get used to it and then you can start putting the band in followed by a bow. Make it small at first so they don't feel too much difference.

Good luck

Sophie used to pull hers out too, and then I read that I may be putting them in too tight!!! I loosened the band a little, put in the bow now, and she doesn't touch them!!!! Good luck!

ok thanks!!! I guess I'll have to take the bow off of the hair tie!! haha...what product do you use in her hair??? I wasn't sure if it was safe to use anything...

You should go read in the grooming forum. There are tons of threads on this, and great instructions for putting in top-knots, all kinds of good stuff.
