|
- Steps to create a beautiful Yorkie top knot.
|
|
2
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- Now tease both sections together to create one bubble.
- Tease it all the way around the bubble; left, right front and back.
|
|
8
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- 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
|
- After you are done, apply the bow (carefully and slowly) and admire your
work.
