Looking for funky hairclips!

[linm]

Very cute! And some good ideas for what to do with this stage of hair! What gel do you use? Is it people gel or something special for dogs?

[quote=Sukoshi's Mom;1339975]Sukoshi's bangs are too short to reach her top knot (I had them cut to get them out of her eyes in April, and I'm soooooo regretting that decision now), so I normally do one top knot, and then one "bang ponytail"...at least until her bangs get a little longer. BUT...she was in a modeling contest over the weekend for "GW Little" (took 2nd place...YAY), so I gelled her bangs up that day to mesh with her top knot. Here's what it looked liked (and what it should look like when her bangs actually grow out)...


Wow! Congrats on second place! That's wonderful! So does she get to be in any of their catalogs???

Well...I found out about the modeling contest pretty last minute, and I knew they'd want to see her eyes, so I improvised on the gel, and I just used my husband's "American Crew" citrus mint gel (and that's the only time I've gelled her hair, and I washed her top knot with shampoo as soon as we got home). If I was going to do it more often, I would look into doggie gel products. I know they make some top knot stiffeners and such that people use for dog shows. Sorry! I don't know any brand names or anything to recommend to you.

Thanks! I am so proud of her! The 1st place winner got the "cover model" spot for their next catalog, but they did ask for our information, so we can only hope they call us to be INSIDE the catalog! You can read more about it in our regional forum here http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90922, so we don't get off topic on Lin's thread.

That's OK, I'm not offended! LOL!

I found 2 gels:
-Chris Christensen Thick n' Thicker Gel- only available in 8 oz size which sounds like an awful lot!!
-Pet Silk Top Knot Gel - comes ion a smaller 4 oz size

So, what do people use?

I use a Chris Christensen brush with Pet Silk Liquid Silk Serum, so I know they both make good products...but I don't know about their Top Knot Gel specifically. I agree 8 oz. sounds like a lot though, and I know Shana (shanatink - Tinkerbellscloset.com) sells the Pet Silk Top Knot Gel, so you may check her prices there and PM her to see what she thinks about it. I know she recommended the Pet Silk Serum to me, and I'm loving it for Sukoshi's coat!

You may want to search the product reviews forum too, or post a separate thread asking people's opinons if you can't find anything, since people may not check this forum as often. Does anyone else have experience with these?!?!?

I use the Pet Silk gel for show top knots. 1 jar lasts forever.

Izzy knows to sit very still when I do this.....don't ask me how she knows but she does.

She is afraid of mommy whith those pointy things!!! LOL
