Top knot flops forward Max' top knot always flops forward into his face. It won't stand up or fall to the back of his head unless I use a second band, which creates a very tall looking palm tree between his ears. (The hair isn't long enough to double over in the formal show style.) What am I doing wrong? |
Maybe try put the rubberband closer to the scalp....that might help. Or, move it forward or back from where you usually place it, to see if it sits better.:D |
awww, this happens to both Gracie Ruth & Yogi. It's because I put it too far forward on their head so that the short hairs right above their eyes can be in the top knot too. If you move the position back a little I bet you'll find that it will fall to the back. |
Following your advice, I put the top knot farther back on Max' head and tied the band a little tighter, closer to his scalp (hope I'm not hurting him :(). Max is pleased to report that he doesn't look like a Yorkie unicorn today, and he doesn't have a palm tree on his head. :animal36 |
I put two bands, it's kinda hard to explain, but will try. You'll need two bands & a comb. 1. gather the hair for the top knot 2. divide the hair in two, one in front & one in back 3. put band on the divided section of hair in back 4. put banded hair & unbanded hair in front together 5. band together Banding this way keeps the hair from flopping this way & that & it stays put. If you have a rat tail comb, you can also pull out the hairs in the front of the head to make it look poofy. |

Today's top knot is not as good, but we are going to keep practicing the method you have taught us. :) This is Max after dunking his face in his water bowl -- and the second picture is the hairstyle he prefers ;): |
Hi Max! Haha! I like both styles! Kekeekeke, the 2nd style is what mine prefers too!:D |

What a great look, she's beautiful! |
Russian Yorkie, That is a spectacular hairstyle! I don't know if I have the dexterity required to do such precise work on my puppy's head. ;) Is that your girl in the picture? She is a beauty! I have been doing better with the topknots by pulling the center of hair while holding the band -- which gives the topknot more poof and staying power. |
Maximo...you are HANDSOME! Russian Yorkie....adorable! |
