My baby's Top Knot Issues - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Quick question about top knots. Should I be using the small elastics bands or is there something better that does not break the hair as much. My Daisy Mae is at the stage where it requires 2 bands, its seems like when I take her hair down there is hair on the bands. I'm worried that I am causing her hair to break off. If I only use a covered barrett she has that out in about 10 minutes and her hair is in her eyes all over again.
Any tips for this? I purchased the elastic bands at Sally's beauty supply.

If I use plastic bands, I always cut the band off instead of pulling it out. I try not to use the plastic bands very oftent, though. I get the mini scrunchies. Much gentler on the hair. You can get a pack from the dollar store or walmart usually. If you can't find any, I have also bought some from Bow Biz.

You need band cutters from Mimimomo, a.k.a. Jenny, at toplinepet.com

Prevents damage from pulling out bands.

Ziva and Abby were wearing the cheap dollar store scrunchies that we threw out every few times. I am surprised how long the "Goodies" brand lasts and stays in. They are way more expensive but I don't have to redo all day long.
