Hair Breaking - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi everyone

I'm having a bit of a problem with Tink's hair. I had been using little elastics, ouchless ones, but I noticed that when I went to take them off they kept pulling or broke a lot of her hair off

So now she has all these little shorties growing...my problem is what do you guys use to put the hair up so it stays put and not damage her hair? The clips or barettes just come off in a matter of minutes so I'd need something that will stay put...she is almost one year old.
Also what can I do to repair the hair that was damaged...is there a vitamin or supplement that will make her hair thicker?

Hugs!

I have the same problem with Cali's from always having bows in. I am using a supplement Missing Link which seeme to be making her coat better.

I think the best thing to do is to cut the elastics out instead of taking them out.

That's what I've been doing. I bought a ton of little latex bands and I just cut them all out at the end of the day... carefully, so I don't get any hair! It's better than just ripping it out and ruining her already thin hair.

I use the special elastic bands that are meant for their hair that won't cause breaking. It will stay in until you take it out and slips right off without ruining the hair or breaking it and no hair ever gets stuck to it. I don't remember where I got them though, I got a bunch of them a long time ago from someone that I ordered bows from. Your best bet is to just buy a ton of them and cut them out.

Thanks Everyone! I would love to find the elastics that just slip off like mytrixie mentioned in the meantime I'll have to cut the elastic off. I have been looking into that Missing Link supplement and will be checking to see if the Petsmart near me carries it.

Thanks again!!
