| How do I get bows to stay in baby's hair? I have dozens of bows in several different styles, and I use the small goody rubber bands, but I put them in my baby takes them out immediately. Any suggestions? |

| I'm wondering the same thing. I have those tiny bands but can't get them to stay in Tensley's hair. The moment he shakes his head, they fly off no matter how tight.

| I use baby pony tails from the baby/kids section of Wal-Mart. They come in a convenient case, similar to pill case, that seperates them all by color. Every now and then Brayli manages to wiggle them out, but it's rare. They're really cheap, and come with a variety of colors. Hope this helps. (: |

| Sometimes people use Top Knot gel to make the hair a little stiffer. There are a couple that mimimomo sells on her website (toplinepet.com). Ours do not fall out - I use non-latex bands that are 1/4" in size. I find that if I double up the band, they stay in even on Teddy who has hair like silk Good luck!

| Are you using grooming bands? 1/4" grooming bands doubled as 107Barney said should stay in. |

| Have you tried bows that are on alligator clips? It's the lazy way to do it, but it works. I use them on Kaji when his hair gets crazy long.

| I use grooming bands too. Diva has very silky hair so anything larger will just slide off.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I use these tiny bands I got at the dollar store - they're not rubberbands - they almost have a plastic feel to them, and her hair doesn't seem to get tangled in them. I put them far enough up away from Bridgets head to be able to put a baby barrett between her head and the band - it keeps the barrett from sliding off.

| Now that the top is getting so long I braid Cerise's hair and then clip it down with a barrett. She looks like she has a somewhat French twist everyday The barrett is placed in the back of her head where she can't pull it out.

| This is what I do for Paris...get the little tiny grooming rubberbands and put it In and then slide the bow or barrette between the rubber band and her hair so it is anchored in! Wish I knew how to attach a thumbnail picture so I could show you! Btw...off topic but how do you attach a picture or a link to a comment? |

| I buy the little bands (dollar store) and make the top knot a little loser then place the bow on a barrette clip just under the band! I started putting a topknot in Chloe at an early age. She has no problem with them untill she's getting wild and playing ruff with the other dogs! Good luck! You just need to find out what works for you and your furbaby! It's so fun!
