How often is your yorkie in a top knot? I was just wondering since my yorkie has to be in a top knot now almost all the time - day and bedtime. I change the knot every morning but without a top knot her hair completely covers her eyes because it falls down. Is this how it is for everyone with show cut or do you layer the top knot hair so that your yorkie can see when the hair is down, too? I basically just want to make sure that her being in a top knot all the time is normal, lol. |
Oscar is never in a topknot . Not because I don't like but he because Oscar HATES it . I am sure he would look adorable with a topknot but HE'S the boss :D |
Same situation here. If hair is down, she can't see a thing. We do soft scrunchies during the week, often re-doing a couple of times a day since I keep them loose and they fall out. On weekends, if we plan to be out and about, I'll do a band and sometimes add a bow if we just feel like being prissy - wore one all day yesterday for Fathers Day. :) |
My boys wear them 24 hours a day, otherwise they would have hair in their mouths and eyes. I have to fix them a couple times of day. When they were younger and their hair was shorter, I took the topknots out at night and let them sleep without them. |
Ok, phew! I feel better now that it isn't only my yorkie that has to have a top knot in all the time except for when I change it. I was starting to think I'm being bad for not letting her head get a rest, lol. I don't tie the top knot tight though, I use the lainee bands they stay pretty much all day. I want to use scrunchies because it's just lighter on the hair but her hair isn't thick enough for the regular size scrunchie bands. |

Same here. I re-do the topknot several times a day depending on how active she is. When I take the band out, I massage the top of her head....boy does she love that :p |
Marcel wears a top-clip 24 hrs a day or his hair would be everywhere. Wylie doesn't wear a top knot bc that's just not how he rolls, lol. I used to have Pfeiffer wear one, and wish she would - but to her, the top knot is a toy and she makes it her life's mission to remove it....sigh. |

Bogey is my only one with hair long enough for a topknot. He's usually only in a pony holder and not a bow too. Sometimes at night I will let his hair down while he's sleeping to give his head a rest but usually it's up all the time. When I do use a bow it has a clip on the back and only gets clipped to the front of his hair. If I try to use a bow with a band on the back it would never stay. So it's ponyholder and bow with clip for us. But this way I don't need to mess with it more than once a day because it stays up really well. |

Chloe also plays with bows if I put them in.. which is why I don't put them in. The bands she doesn't mind though, but the whole process of catching her while she runs around the house to NOT get a top knot is a different story, lol. |
I made a few bows but Willow will pull them out within 2 minutes. She is my first Yorkie, what kind of bands do I start with? Thanks! |
Hair bows HI I also have my first yorkie and I find that the tiny clips work the best easy to put in and stay in you just have to be carefule not to get skin. My minni is 14 weeks and hair is fine. She doesn't mind them. good luck.. have fun they look so cute..:) |

If your yorkie has thick hair I'd go with the medium size. For mine size small stays in her hair all day. |
Cali's hair is too long and as you said can't see if it is not up so she always wears one - I use scrunchies because they don't break the hair. I put it up in the morning and then at bed time I pull the scrunchies back to losen it for the night and I message the scalp for a few minutes, she loves that, then in the morning we put a new one up. |
My two are in top knots all day. They are brushed out once/day and I put it back up. The only time their hair is down is when they are getting a bath. |
Mina's hair is either in a band (size 5/16) or in a scrunchie. She has enough hair for top knot or French braid. Kenzie's top knot looks like a palm tree,but it must be up at all times as well. Tilly's hair is very fragile and fine. She gets just a band ever few days. The rest of the time she doesn't have a top knot,but she is only 5 months old. |
When my girls had long hair their hair was up half the time. They personally don't like it but I made them wear the bows anyways. Lol Now that they have short hair, most of the hair around their eyes I cut off. :( I'd like to grow their hair back, but I think they appreciate a little bit of a breeze in the summer even in Colorado. :) This winter I'll start growing their beautiful coats back again. |
I tried a top knot on Bella, my SHORKIE,(picture on avatar which I unsuccessfully uploaded). It "knotted" up so easily. Are you soppossed to change it daily? |
Galen has his in 24 hours. . .every once in a while I let him run around like a moppet . . . I also use Lainee bands. They are wonderful. Make sure you get one of the scissors. It has a little hook to easily grab and cut the band |
My smallest pup (Piper) has a really fine, silky coat and has to have a top knot in order to see. Unfortunately, Keegan likes to grab her by the topknot while playing and fling her around, so I take it down not only to rest her scalp but to give him less of an edge in tussling. :D I've just started trying to groom my three and just last night gave Keegan a cut that eliminated the need for a topknot. He hates topknots and had broken his hair above both eyes trying to scrub the band out. Finn's hair is crazy-looking without a topknot so I keep it pulled up almost all the time. Honestly, it's only partly to help him see; I just can't stand seeing his hair going all different directions. :panic::p |

Well I have no luck with bows or anything else with Hannah. I've only cut her hair once and I guess I need to do it again. She hates anything in her hair and also makes it her mission to get it out. I bathed her on Monday and thought I'd try a bow but within 10 secounds it was out and she was trying to eat it. The funny part was when she thought there was still something in her hair she was shaking her head up and down just waiting for that bow to fly out. I am constantly brushing her hair out of her eyes. Ugh! Why doesn't she want to look prissy? She's so adorable when her hair is up! I've even tried the little Walmart scrunchies and baby clips and she will not keep them in. :( |
Pippi has a cotton coat and it's long enough for a bow, but really only just. It does flop into her eyes, but I leave it down for a couple of days at a time and every night. Every couple of days she has a bow on a clip. I have long hair and would hate to have it tied up for 24hrs, it would make me feel sore, so can't do it to her. She loves a head rub once the bow's removed, if she or Caleb haven't remove it during the day. |
When you take out the band, do any of you see some strands stuck on the band? I really like the lainee bands but I'm starting to wonder if they are too harsh for my girls hair. I've noticed her top knot has become "frizzy".. I think it's because the bands are pulling little strands off. I don't put her knot in too tight, either.. so this is the only thing I can think of for the recent frizz. |

How old is your girl? Mine didn't like anything in her hair either but it doesn't bother her anymore. I would say to start with bands first and then once she doesn't mind the bands to move on to bows. |

Rasta is always in a topknot otherwise he wouldn't be able to see anything lol |
I would love for Cricket to wear bows and have a top knot. However, she plays with my parent's Bassett hound and he always manages to drool on her at some point, so that's not going to happen....... Oh well :( |
