Yorkshire Terrier Top Knots

• Steps to create a beautiful Yorkie top knot.

Step 1

• Using a rat-tail comb, create a clean part, up
  the center of the dogs muzzle.
• Part the hair on the bridge of your dogs 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 dont 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 its 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
  dogs 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.
