Yorkshire Terrier
Top Knots
  • Steps to create a beautiful Yorkie top knot.
2
Step 1
  • Using a rat-tail comb, create a clean part,  up the center of the dog’s muzzle.
  • Part the hair on the bridge of your dog’s nose, horizontally (as shown in the picture).
  • Leave a slight “V” shape in-between the eyes at the top-end of the part.
3
Step 2
  • Part the hair from the outside corner of the eye, back to the center of the head.
  • Be sure to make as straight a line as possible.  The straighter the line, the cleaner your  topknot will appear.
4
Step 3
  • Make a part across the center back of the head (from ear-to-ear). Once again, keep it clean!
  • You may have to part it a few times before you achieve a completely clean part.
5
Step 4
  • After the part on the middle-of-the-head is complete.  Separate that portion into two even sections (one in front of the other).
  • These two sections together will become the bubble.
6
Step 5
  • To each section spray on the Pure Paws Ultra Volumizing Spray Gel to achieve maximum volume in your bubble.
  • Begin your bubble, by teasing the back portion of the part.
  • Once the back is teased, then tease the front section of the part.


7
Step 6
  • Now tease both sections together to create one bubble.
  • Tease it all the way around the bubble; left, right front and back.
8
Step 7
  • Smooth out the bubble with a soft horse hair brush or even a baby brush. The reason for using such a soft brush is so you don’t destroy or flatten the bubble.
  • Use the Pure Paws Ultra Volumizing Spray Gel to keep stray hairs from sticking out of your bubble.
9
Step 8
  • Now tie the topknot up and be sure that the majority of the volume (teased portion) is at the base.
  • While doing this be extra careful not to flatten the bubble.
10
Step 9
  • Shape the bottom bubble by pulling the hair firmly in different directions using the rat- tail end of the comb.
  • This is a delicate procedure and the bubble can be misshaped easily.
11
Step 10
  • Now anchor the bubble and create a fuller shape. In order to do this, separate the hair and grab a small portion from the center back part of the pony tail (as shown in picture).
  • Pull firmly and repeat Steps 9 and 10 as many times as necessary.
12
Step 11
  • Once the bubble is in place now you can work on the fan. Start by teasing the back part of the fan (see picture). This will create volume.
  • Be careful not to push down too hard or else the bubble could be damaged in the process.
13
Step 12
  • After you have acquired the preferred amount of volume on the fan, fold the teased portion back and place a rubber band on it to hold it in place     ( use two if necessary).
14
Step 13
  • Now it’s time to clean up the bubble and the fan.       To  do this spray some Ultra Volumizing Spray Gel on the rat-tail end of the comb and smooth over all the loose hairs.
  •  After you have the look you want, shield the dog’s eyes and apply a decent amount of the spray gel or hair spray to hold the topknot in place.
  •  One secret of mine is to sprits a little extra spray  at the base of the bubble in the back.
15
Step 14
  • After you are done, apply the bow (carefully and slowly) and admire your work.
