| Jeannie, do they mat/tangle when you leave the topknots in for several days? I've tried to leave Murphy's in for more than one day and his hair is the worst mess - a couple of times I was barely able to get the knots out of his little head. I wish I could leave his band in longer, though because he doesn't like to have them put in.

| I get the little vinyl bands from Walmart. they are in the childrens section on the acessories rack. The brand is faded glory, they come in a container that looks like a pill sorter, you know the box that holds a weeks worth of pills. It has 6 compartments with a different color in each one. sometimes I add a bow, and then put in a second band over the top of the bows band. |

| I put Brea's up in the morning and take it out at bedtime. Her little head likes the rest. I also use the bands from GoFetch... best I have found yet and I also cut the bands off to avoid pulling out the hair. |

| Chloe is not a fan of the ponytail ...I put her hair up every morning , and she has it out about 5 minutes after that We repeat that throughout the day She is getting better with leaving it in , but I still take it out every night ( if it makes it that long). .

| I also leave my top knots in for the week. Ive been hearing its not to good so I am going to try doing it daily. My dogs are pretty good with grooming and leaving there top knots in. My concern is, is it breaking the hair. On my Marlin I keep him in a panda cut (schnauzer cut) with full hair on his head. During a trip to the groomers she took it upon herself to cut off his facial her into a puppy cut and since then Ive not been able to grow out his beard and top knot to be as beautiful as before. Ive heard lots of good things about yorkie splash and shine from YT and will be ordering some soon. And def trying the daily top knot. All three of my yorkies hate for their hair to be in their face and im not big on the puppy cuts. We all enjoy bath and groom time. Gives us a chance to be alone. LOL |

| I get my bands from Ebay--get like 2000 of them for less than 5 bucks and they are TINY. They are so tiny that I have a hard time stretching to get them in, but my dogs fur is so silky and soft that after they shake their heads a few times, it comes out. Anyone have any idea what the best size bands are for topknots? |

| If anyone has a Family Dollar store in their area they have the non latex bands. You can get 1000 in a package for $1. They also have the little plastic barrettes with 60 in a package for $1. Daisy has very fine hair and these bands stay in all day. They are easier to stretch than the latex bands. Forgot to add that one pack contains clear and black bands and another with bright colors that match the plastic barrettes. At this price I don't feel guilty about cutting the old band out every evening. |
