[quote=Anonymous]The issues may not last forever. I asked a similar question a few years ago and basically got nasty responses saying I should just cut her hair all off if neither of us could put up with the tangles.

Now, her super fine hair has thickened enough that I'd say she gets a "normal" amount of tangles rather than tons. Yes, brushing her hair every morning seemed like torture but now she's able to do it herself (but she prefers someone else brush then braid/put it up in a bun/etc.) and even survived a week of sleep away camp without having her hair turn into a giant matted mess.

Do whatever you think is right for yourself and your daughter. If it would upset her, then don't. Tell her the consequences of tangles and struggles of brushing it every day patiently, then do it. Maybe one day she'll finally decide cutting her hair would be fine. Maybe her hair will grow out of this stage. A biotin conditioner and making sure she gets good protein (or collagen) probably don't hurt either. At some point, it will be her sole responsibility and you won't be struggling with her hair when she's an adult.  [/quote]
