[quote=Anonymous][quote=mabodie]OP here: thank you for the quick responses

Cutting the hair would be an obvious solution but DH really likes his girl having longer hair and it's really the only area he's expressed a preference.  DD would prefer a crew cut but knows that Daddy likes the longer hair.  I've also pointed out to her that if she didn't have long hair, she would be totally responsible for it on her own and that there would be no tv time on school mornings.  (She gets to watch tv while I do her hair before school.)

I didn't realize shampoo/conditioner combos didn't work as well.  I think I still want that though for her use.  My thought is to try to get her to wash her hair after swimming (like other girls at the pool do) and that I will still do the once a week wash (when I can use a separate conditioner.)  I will still be braiding her hair so maybe I just set the goal at washing it and I will continue the comb out.  Tangles are not as much of a priority for us because her hair is always braided except when it is being washed.

She recently turned 8 but has some developmental challenges including motor planning that are likely to make this more difficult than it might be for some other children.  (I thought about posting this in the special needs forum but then decided that long fine hair was a more universal challenge.)[/quote]

What the????  Your husband gets a say in his 8yr old daughter's hair length? She will have to do it all herself and not get tv time if it is shorter?  Stop playing mind games and just tell her she can not make her own decision about her own body and that you and DH will.  Ugh, awful how low DC moms hover. [/quote]
