Conditioner doesn't foam.

This. You're in charge. Brush or cut.. Her choice.

Before getting “firm” with a 4 year old, it’s important to acknowledge that the OP doesn’t know how to care for the child’s hair, and getting her hair combed might be causing significant distress and even pain for the child. People with thinner straighter hair that doesn’t tangle easily might not realize this. OP might also have a different type of hair from her child, since most people who use conditioner, detangling spray, moisturizers or other products on their own hair would probably guess that similar products might be beneficial for a child’s hair as well — even if they seek out products formulated for kids.

OP, without knowing how long your daughter’s hair is and what type of hair she has, it’s hard to make specific recommendations. Consider using a detangling spray before you gently comb it out, starting from the bottom — as another PP said. If her hair tangles easily, wearing it and sleeping with it in braids or twists might keep it from tangling. If her hair is wavy or curly , it’s possible that brushing it might be painful and lead to breakage. If your daughter has a very different type of hair from yours, seek guidance re: products from someone familiar with products for her hair type.

Coming to say all of this. Geeze. Not everything needs to be a bombastic battle. Would an adult be ok with someone else doing something on a regular basis that was painful for them because THEY ARE IN CHARGE?? Respect your kids just a little please.

Parents like you are why teachers are quitting in droves, FYI. You're a parent, act like one.

No, teachers are not quitting in droves because of parents who try not to do physically painful things to their kids. If you disagree, CPS might be a good resource for you.

Did you have any helpful advice for the OP though?

What? I’ve used quite a few conditioners and none of them foam. PP, if you’re recommending mousse or something beyond rinse out conditioners, you might want to be more specific.

OP, it would help if you’d provide more information about your child’s hair type.
One product that I can recommend is called: Knot Today — a leave-in detangler by Kinky-Curly.
Target and CVS often carry it.

Yikes... yes it does. I am a black woman and conditioner is a must.

We do as well. I comb my daughter’s hair while she is in the tub with conditioner in her hair. After she gets out of the tub, I follow up with leave in conditioner. It is the only way we can brush her hair the next day.

I have had my kids use regular (not kid specific) shampoo and conditioner on my kids since they started summer swim team - summer before K. Their hair is so tangled and disheveled without it.

There is no need for “baby” shampoo once they can hold their head still and close their eyes from soap. Parents whose children have very curly hair use all kinds of conditioners and products on their kids’ hair.

Perhaps products designed for your hair foam and “activate”. Conditioner designed for straight hair are like lotion and do not foam. Not the many brands I have used at home. Not at the many different high end salons I’ve used in the multiple large cities I’ve lived in.

Any recommendation of comb for daily use ? For little girl with long hair when they are dry.

Please restore my hope in humanity and tell me this is a troll post. Please tell me this woman really didn’t have a child ! They literally can’t make the most basic of decisions…even ones with no life impacts. What will she ever do if there is an emergency?
