| Hair breakage when I pull Sophie's hair into a scrunchie, a very tiny scrunchie I might add she always has some hair hanging over her eyes. It seems to be broken hair. I don't pull her hair tight and I don't use elastic bands, just the soft little pony tail holders. is there anything I can do to stop the hair from breaking? Anybody have any tricks that may be useful? thanks for any help

| I don't have any tips, was wondering if someone else does though because this happens to mine too. I have one girl with silky straight hair and one with thick silky hair and it happens to both of them too!! Doesn't matter what kind of hair they have. I also use the little teri scrunchies and I take them out at night, still they have the fuzzies. Let's hope someone posts who can help us both!!

| No one has any suggestions? Poor Sophie destined to see the world through a veil of hairIf I ever find a way to keep it away from her face, other than shaving her bald, she will probably be surprised at what she sees

| Maximo had some hair breakage at the inner corners of his eyes -- the hair that goes up into the topknot. His was the result of a combination of eye boogers and brittleness caused by sticky foods, yogurt and sweet peas. After he would eat, he would rub his face in his bed or on the couch. Hair gel can also dry out the hair and cause breakage during combing. After we switched foods and he matured a bit, his eye boogers decreased and he stopped rubbing his face. The hair is growing long again. I think keeping the hair clean and conditioned helps stop breakage. Discourage head rubbing too. |

| Sophie seems to be afflicted with a permanent visor effect. I keep the eye booger fairy away and I don't think she rubs her head just above her eyes but will keep a watch. She for sure doesn't get any sticky food there and definitely no hair gel. Thanks for your help, appreciate it.

| I am really crummy with taking pics but must do so soon. Sophie is 2 years old. I really have to update my avatar as it shows Lola my 3 year old yorkie who weighs 10+ lbs. Sophie is about 4 lbs and a little thick around the middle. What can I say she likes her food as does Lola abviously. They are not obese just filled out well. Lola has a cotton coat so is kept short. Sophie has a silk coat and I keep trying to let it grow but it is so fine and fragile that I have a hard time getting too much length without it breaking.
