The end to our top knot woes - Page 2 - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

Sophie looks adorable with her ponytail in a barrette.

I usually prefer bands, i have a couple that are barrettes and will be ordering barrettes in the future. Depending what type of bows you have you can convert them to barrettes. I bought some french clips from Ebay (i think this is the size i got) 50 - French Style Clips Barrettes for Hair Bows Hairbow - 30mm- 1" inch | eBay and just cut the bands off and used a hot glue gun to glue the french clips to the bows and they hold up really well or you can sew the bows to the barrettes.

There's a band holding all the hair in her top knot then the barrette is fed through under the band and only has some hair. It's actually really secure!

The ones I have are cheap satin ones held together by the band. If we had nicer bows I would probably convert those

Sophie looks so cute in the barrette. I tried them once when Laurel was little, and she managed to get it out and I had to dig it out of her mouth. Now that she's older I'll give it another try.

We can only put barretts in Chrissy's topnot since they work best for her as well. Sophie looks absolutely adorable in her little Barretts. She sure is one adorable little Malt.

cute! the barettes look fabulous in her hair

and the fact that she tolerates it, that's the way to go!!!

Lucy will tolerate barrettes way better than rubber bands too. I steal...err...borrow them from my three year old granddaughter.
