Pet Topknots

We will need Topknot to keep their long hairs out of their eyes but some people may think that their pet don't need Topknot. In fact, their hairs also grow around the outside corner of eyes,this may cause blindness and infection.

Follow the image below :

1. Prepare your dog's coat. Make sure it's free of tangles and mats. You can add a bit of dog friendly mousse to pump some volume into the hair.

2. Gather the hair on top of the head and with your rat tail comb or parting stick, define the sectioning of the top knot by the following partings:

a. horizontal line between the eyes
b. on both sides--a line from the outer corner of the eye to the base of the ears. (do not include the ear roots)
c. a line created by joining the end points at the base of each ear.

3. Secure the sectioned hair with a band.

4. Create a poof with the parting stick by loosening a thin outer portion of the knot.

5. Create a fold to create a mini-fan of hair and secure it with another band.

6. Attach the bow. (You may use dog friendly hair gel for a smooth finish)

NOTE:*Pets under 1 year of age do not need the 5th step. You may attach the bow right after creating the poof.

*If the band at the back of the bow is too loose to be attached without twisting, you may do this:
After doing step 2, divide the section into 2 parts (front and back). Attach the bow right away on the front section. Then secure the front and back sections together with a band so the bow won't slip off. Continue step 4-step 5.

To keep a topknot on a pet dog, you have to commit to taking care of it. It should be taken down and reset every 2-4 days. Leaving the set topknot too long will result in matting under the bands and cause the coat to break when it's brushed out. Use a scissors and snip out the old band. Never pull a band off the hair as it will break too much hair. Use a light spray in conditioner, brush and comb the hair and then put in new bands with the reset topknot.
