So im not the only one. I brush boo and soon as i put him down princess is mouthing his head. His hair seems to be taking forever to grow out. Guess thats a good thing. Wont have to cut as often. Did have to clip a couple of hairs that would not lay over his nose or go up over his head. It kept going right for his eyes. He wont be a show dog but i think the long look is so cute.

I can, too. I have seen them removing scrunchies from each other's hair.

Caleb used to take Pippi's bow out. He didn't used to like wearing one, but that's changed. His hair gets in his eyes now and he asked for it to be put up, it's the funniest thing. If it bugs him he points with his nose to his bands and then stares at us....when you pick them up comes over to have them put in. This only happens when it's bugging him.

I put topknots and bows on my little one Remy. Since he is so little I usually get the 3/8 single bows for him. I stay with the boy colors, holiday bows and sports bows. He has a Redskin football bow, basketball bow, Royal Blue bow, Black Bow, Red bow etc. It took awhile for my husband to get used to it but he doesn't mind now. I like that it keeps his hair out of his eyes. Below is a pic of Remy with a Halloween bow in his hair.

Awwww...Thank you! I think the bows just adds additional cuteness to our furbabies.

Very cute! I have not mastered the bow yet so Teddy gets bands.

I like the bows with the alligator clip. Seems to be easier to put in his hair. I just ordered some bows with the flat clip barrette, so I'll see how those work.

I would be eternally in your debt if you could share how you manage to affix the bows/clips to your baby's head. I don't know if Teddy's hair would slip out as he has cottony fur I would imagine it would be less of an issue.


Thank you for confirming sizes etc. I have never put him in bows but often thought about it as bands have the tendency to snag.


Thank you x

What type of rubber bands do you use and where do you get them?

I use my own hair bands which are anti snag as they have no metal joins in them but they tend to be heavy for Teddy's head (i.e. he is aware the are in) so I also use loom bands which kids use to make bracelets etc since you can get like 5 billion for a buck and they come in all different colors! They work better than anything I have used so far as they are light weight but they do snag because I am horrible at doing anything for hair - including my own!

Wonder if i could get those at hobby lobby.

I use the real small anti snag bands from the dollar stores. They come in packages of 1000. I haven't noticed any breakage of hair with these. I usually can get them out easily but if they get hung up I have a little tiny pair of scissers with a hook on the end that cuts it out. These work really well for me. I use the bows with alligator clips an clip just in front of the band.
