To Bow or not to Bow? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yorkieluv · 02-27-2007, 08:44 AM

Miko doesn't mind his hair being up, but I don't keep it in a topknot everyday. His hair falls in a way that doesn't get in his eyes, so I don't really cut it either. Sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down. My maltese girl though, has a rubberband/bow in her hair everyday, otherwise her hair goes in her eyes. She doesn't mind at all. She actually prefers it up because it doesn't get in her eyes or tickle her nose.

Are the 3/8 bows too big as well?

My Tini gets a topknot and bow/clip everytime we go out. Started at 10 weeks and she never fussed. Loves her bows cause she knows we are headed out.

Hi everyone,
I do have some problems regarding putting rubberband and baw on my yorkies hair topnot.i have been doing it since she is a baby and she doesnt mint,the thing is after like 3 days i can see that her topnot iss all messed up as in hes gets mat in her topnot and its so hard to remove the rubberband and if i did,it leave a mat plus it breaks her hair.what do you think should i do?do you guys have the same problem like mine? I LIKE to tie her hair coz it doesnt cover her eyes and I dont like to cut it.please,I need some advice on these.

I don't ever leave her topknot in overnight. Have to brush that coat daily.

I agree with the above that you should never leave a rubberband in that long. I take my girls hair down every night and redo it in the morning. I buy the bands they use for braces (they work really well on their hair) and I never pull them out, I cut them out. They are so cheap and come in such a large quantity that's it isn't a huge deal to cut them out every day and saves pulling your babies hair out. Also, I notice if you leave them in for too long it will break the hair.

Hi there,
Thanks for the advice.I didnt know that you have to remove the topknot or the rubber bands in their hair every night.I thought you can just leave them in, I am happy that you told me to cut it instead of pulling it. now I know what to do the next time.from now on, ill be removing the band on her hair evrynight. lol. how come I didnt even think about it before???

I put Gus's hair up in a topknot and have put bows on him but he was made fun of by the family. They said he already looked like a girl and putting bows is too girlie and that I might as well put a dress on him. Bow or no bow, people will call him a girl no matter how manly I have him dressed! I think the whole bows on boys are ok. It goes with the breed! As a matter of fact, Gus is wearing a bow today! LOL

My Howie wears boy bows. They have some really cute ones on ebay. He has on a camo one today. I also cut out his rubberbands.

blondflava · 03-19-2007, 08:50 AM

Pepper's hair is long enough for me to put it in a topknot... He's a boy - so what? I'm having problems with tieing the rubber band, I always think it's too tight and pulls hair from the back. His hair is so slippery that the rubber band seems to be slipping off when I'm tieing it

. Is it possible to use baby-size scrunchies? (I promise I'll steer away from 'girl colors' LOL)

vainchick5 · 03-19-2007, 08:59 AM

Coco is realllllly good with bows and elastic but I let her be free when at home. If we have company or we are going out, her hair goes up in a bow. My new little guy will more than likely not be wearing a bow, because he's my boy

His hair isn't even long enough now but I will keep it pretty short, so he won't need a bow.

I am trying to find a post I saw the other day. They had their little boys hair pulled back, but the topknot was so far back that it layed almost flat; it was darling, and more masculine.

I put sawyers hair up with boy bows, but I let it down a lot also to relax his scalp.

If someday I get a girl, I will for sure put the hair up in a bow, but I'm gonna have to get her used to that at a young age so she doesn't fight with it!

You know my hubby was the same way, so my way around it, is they ahve BOY bows on ebay..LOL I got some for Hunter, I also never put a bow in him until recently and he doesn't seem to really mind.. Well here is his Boy Bow..LOL
