How do you keep a bow in her hair? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Winnie REFUSES to leave a bow in her hair. If it's the clip kind, she shakes her head until it falls off. If its the rubber band kind, she rubs her head on the carpet until it slides off. But she looks so cute with them in! Suggestions?

Persistance. Eventually, hopefully they will get used to it.

Try distracting her for a while after you put it in so maybe she'll forget about it.

The bow actually isn't the problem for me . . as all the bows I make are attached with a barette. it's getting the rubber band on. Unless I have an extra pair of hands I can rely on, I am just going to use these:

I double tie the elastic band on the bow and Jewels never pulls it off

Josie used to be like that too, but now she is really great about letting me do her hair. I would agree with persistance. It will eventually pay off.

Maybe I'll just try putting it in her hair everyday so she can start getting used to it. She usually rips it out within a minute

First I have to put the rubberband on (the one used for babies) - then I slide the bow in. Tika didn't like it at first, but now she's used to Mom's silly-ness

Mine won't keep barretts in, but I have finally gotten them to leave in bands. I got them use to to them by putting those soft little girl/baby ponytails in, the ones that kind of look like teri cloth(not the latex or rubber). I have found they are easier on the hair. When we go to shows or somewhere special I use latex. Anyway I put those little girl ones in and make them fairly tight so that they won't come off when they rub. After a little while they give up, then when you do go to put a bow in they are use to it and won't rub. I know you can't see this very well but Titan has one in here so you can kind of tell what they are(he's the one with a band on

).

Your pic needs a caption that says, " Uh, Could we get some service here?"
