| Hair above eyes What do I do with the hair that isn't long enough to put in a top knot?? This is the hair that starts just above the eyes and hangs forward in a bit of a fringe in front of his eyes. Do I cut it really short or endure however much longer it will take to be long enough? He's 2. thanks |

| My Otis isn't really a top knot kind of boy. I trim his to keep them out of his eyes.

| He's 2 and you can't put his hair in a top knot? And it's never been cut? His hair must grow really slowly. Maybe you could put a little gel in it to flatten it out and get it out of the way? |

| Yes it does grow slowly Most of his hair is in a top knot. But there is a fringe above his eyes that does not stay as the bits are too short. He's never even been to a groomer. I'm thinking that I will just trim these hairs off so he can see and keep the rest tied back. His hair does grow very slowly. I'm still waiting for the sides to touch the ground. Other than changing colour his hair is the same as it was when I got him at 10 mths. |

| I keep that hair trimmed. In fact I was just looking at it awhile ago and thought it is time for another trim.

| How do you trim it and still make it look good? I've tried cutting Riley's, but it came out jagged and ugly. Lol. Hes got a visor now. |

| I clip those back with a little snap hair clip until they are long enough to put in the hair band. |

| I'm having the same issue with Andrew - I put a top knot in each day but there are strands that don't stay in. Also when I take out the top knot, the hair all falls in his eyes. My hubby wants me to cut it like Jaxon's, but he looks so cute with the top knot. Do you think the hair will eventually grow enough to go back and not hang in his eyes if it's not in a top knot???
