Does anyone else's yorkie lose hair when removing bands? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I've just gotten where my fingers can't work the tiny bands hardly anymore, I've even gotten a cramp trying to double a tiny band and that was horrible. I still use them when I'm putting a bow on. But for everyday, keeping the hair out of their eyes these have been a godsend.

She is such a precious little doll

So you only use a band on occasion now?

Hi Darlene

Rozi has real delicate hair on her head too and I was having the breaking probs too. I always take the grooming band out every night and never put the band scissors to the band, but pull the band out a bit away from the hair with a comb, then cut it with the band scissors

Anyway, long story short, lol, I have been using Vellus Satin Cream on her pony tail before putting in a band and after baths, and never have the hair break from the bands anymore and the cream has helped her hair thicken up a bit up there. Don't think it will ever be as full as Nappys' is, but it has improved quite a bit since using the Vellus.

I bought a bag of latex bands...very tiny..at a Beauty Supply place. It's similar to the ones the dentist uses for braces. There were hundreds in a bag for about a dollar or so. They're clear.

Yes, only when we want to. Somedays I let her have one around the house but generally not. Usually, only if we are going somewhere and she is dressed.

MaryKay thanks for sharing and the tip on the Vellus, I'm definitely going to check that out! I always feel bad when Bailey loses hair. I'm going to use a comb to stretch out the band too before cutting!

Perrella · 06-27-2010, 05:28 PM

Yes, thank you, I'm going to give it a try too. You have the most gorgeous babies to be sure. When I look at them, I always thing GLAMOROUS!

DadofTrudy · 06-27-2010, 05:29 PM

I have found that it really depends on the elastic. Some catch the hair even if you cut them out. I have found the ones that work best for me are called "Super Stretch" They come in a pack of 250. I got them from Sally Beauty Supply and they are used for professional braiding. I loop 3 times in Trudy's hair...

Hey I had the same question while back ago. I'm a human hair stylist and it bothered me alot that when I took out their bows and hair would be stuck to it. I use latex rubber bands or cloth covered rubber bands don't really know what they called but they are in the baby hair section in stores. I also use a hair wax on the base of the hair where the bow will sit. It's human stuff but it's only a little bit and it doesn't hurt them it helps alot with the breakage.
