How old is she? If it is your daughter, I would just cut it off short and start over again. <Mocha, close your eyes and stop reading now, please.> It's only hair. It will grow back again.

It's baby hair, it's gonna be fine for a while, you can cut it off, layer it whatever, and what's left is still gonna be all wild and crazy. Tame what you've got.

Yes, that is my 2 year old daughter. And believe me, I have thought about shaving it all off and starting from scratch. Just too afraid the curls would never come back. I will try the three min miracle and the mousse in the morning!! THANKS!!! (Heck I might try the 3 min miracle on myself while I'm at at!!)

Here's another shot... Not very good of a shot... And you can't even see all the matting cuz it's in front of the white which blends in too much with the color of her hair.

HEY!!! Mocha, I told you not to look! lol! To punish you for reading further than you were allowed, you are now foresaken to read the Thornbirds, where they shave that poor girl's hair off. With that, I will now ban myself from this thread. but, I might be a renegade and sneak in once in a while. Bwaaaaaa!!!!!

Lol Grooch!! But this is a common problem with lil girls. They sleep on their hair and play in it and roll around on the ground with it. Very hard to keep up with. Dang her hair seems too fine to hold a ponytail overnight. Again, moisturize and use a conditioning shampoo. Try to keep as much as you can in a cloth covered rubberband or barrett.

Would a satin pillowcase help? Maybe a small humidifier in her bedroom, too?

the key is something called Sea Plasma. it's a spray that will condition, but not over condition and you can brush through it

I have a water spray bottle and I add conditioner to it. Makes easier brushing through the matting and then styling.

My daughters hair was just like that, only I have to say...I loved the wild crazy look...really I did.. But try using .... RE BALANCE...by Lanza'...its a leave in conditioner...you put a pea drop in your hands and rub it togeather and then rub it into her hair.(after you wash it)..it relax's it some and makes it not so fly away and crazy.... but I love crazy...your daughter is adorable.... my daughter is 23 now and Irons her hair...yes..it makes me sad....oh well...

I just want to cuddle her up. She's absolutely adorable! Glad to see that you've gotten tons of excellent advice.

Julie, Dakota's hair was like that, except for the curls. I hate to tell you, but at 10, her hair is still baby fine and tangles up something awful on a daily basis. That's the biggest reason we cut her hair short a few years ago (and I keep hoping she'll agree to it again soon!) Every morning I was scared someone was going to call child services...she'd scream bloody murder the whole time. Got to the point I'd try to out-yell her "I KNOW IT HURTS, BUT I'VE GOT TO BRUSH YOUR HAIR!" hoping the neighbors would realize she wasn't getting daily beatings! I'm not sure if Abby's hair is long enough, but if it is, try braiding it before bed, anytime you know she's going to be active (for Kota when she's going out to play or sports,) and when she's sick. That's cut back on a lot of the tangles for us. You'll still get small tangles where it comes out fo the braid, but nothing like the tangled, matted mess thats so bad.

Wargod, my mother used to say the same thing to me. she would have thought someone was beating me. she cut my hair short too (even though she loved my hair long) she waited until I was old enough to take care of it myself.

Thank Mame!! She is very cuddly!! Wargod, her hair is quite a bit away from braiding it, but that is a great idea! Will pack that one away for future use! When my mom used to put my hair up in a "bun" I moaned and groaned. She would always tell me that it hurts to be beautiful. (Of course I replied with an "I don't wanna be beautiful!"

Juliboo, as a kid, I had very long hair down my back almost to my tush. I HATED getting it washed, there was so much of it, and it would get tangled, and it hurt like the dickens getting combed out.
