After many struggles with Shama when trying to take out and put in her top knot, and given the fact that school is starting up again so we will have less time for grooming, we decided to temporarily forgo the topknot. This will allow her broken hair (sigh) to grow back, and it will allow me to go back to the basics in training her to remain still while I touch the hair on her head. Attached are two photos of her new look, just after our trip to the groomer's. Attached also are photos taken yesterday and the day before to show you her last bow for a while and to show you five hours' worth of dematting (three hours one day and two the next). (Do not be alarmed: the dematting was unrelated to her top knot. She had visited a relative who plays with her by vigorously rubbing her fur, resulting in terrible matting. We need to talk with him about that.) Time will tell if we are able to return to a top knot with healthy long hair tied up and cute bows (shout out to Boomana!) I'm also attaching a photo of the product that someone on the Forum recommended (sorry, can't remember who) to help keep her hair out of her eyes.
This is the look that I prefer because I think it shows off Havanese characteristics the best. Shama is a beautiful example of a classic Havanese and you should be very proud! She is a calendar girl.
