[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughters hair (age 4) is a nightmare.  It is shoulder length and covered  in tangles every night.  There are so many tears shed over brushing that I just want to chop it all off!  An anyone offer some suggestions?  Here is a bit more detail:

1. She swims a few times a week and we use ultra swim to wash out the chlorine 
2.[b] We condition her hair a few times a week between washing to make it easier to brush[/b]
3. It always feels sticky - we use a detangler and I can’t figure out if this is making things worse
4. Her hair has some natural curls/waves, she likes to wear it down 
5. We braid it before bed so it is easier to fix in the morning
6. We use a wet brush

The biggest issue a the amount of tangles and stickiness of her hair.  Please help![/quote]

How often are you washing her hair vs washing + conditioning vs just conditioning?

My 6 year old DD has wavy hair halfway down her back. Until she was at an age where she didn't fight hair clips and ponytails/braids, and kept them in all day, she had short hair with bangs. I hate that look in general, but I understand now why people do it.  Now that she's older and wants to keep long hair, we wash it with a 2 in 1 every other day and brush it every day AM and PM.  We use It's a 10 Light after washing and it helps a lot with detangling.  I also don't let her wear down to school but she can do whatever she wants after or on weekends.

I mean, quite frankly, you are the adult here, if you want her to wear it up, make her wear it up.  If she won't do that, cut it short.[/quote]
