Now peel open the hook and loop end you closed in step 2. Pull the strap until the collar sits close to your neck, snug but never tight, then press the end against the other part of the strap.

Questions about the fit

What if it still feels too loose?

Fold a small cloth and tuck it between the strap at the back and your skin. It takes up the slack and holds the collar closer to your neck.

What if it feels too tight?

Peel open the end at the back, give the strap a little slack and press it closed again. You should be able to slide one finger under the strap.

My hair gets caught in the velcro. What helps?

Tie your hair up or hold it out of the way before you close the strap. If a few strands get caught, open the strap slowly and free them first.

The velcro doesn't hold as well as before. Why?

Lint and hair collect in the hook side over time. Pick them out with your fingers or a soft brush, then press the end down firmly along the whole pad.
