• Brush Your Dog's Hair: Begin by thoroughly brushing your dog's hair to remove any tangles or mats. This will make it easier to work with and will ensure that the hair tie doesn't snag on any knots.
• Choose a Hairstyle: Decide on the hairstyle you'd like to create. Some common styles include ponytails, top knots, or braids. The style you choose may depend on your dog's hair length and thickness.
• Gather the Hair: Gather the hair you want to style into the desired hairstyle. For a ponytail or top knot, gather the hair on the top of your dog's head. For braids, choose a section of hair to work with.
• Secure with a Hair Tie: Carefully use a dog-safe hair tie or scrunchie to secure the gathered hair. Be gentle and avoid pulling too tightly, as you want to ensure your dog remains comfortable.
• Final Touches: Use your fingers to adjust and fluff the hair as needed. Make sure the hairstyle looks neat and that the hair tie is secure.

Remember that the comfort and safety of your dog should always come first. If your dog appears uncomfortable or if the hairstyle causes any irritation, consider removing it. Additionally, some dogs may not tolerate hair ties or styling, so be mindful of your pet's preferences and comfort level.
