I have the same hair and just go with the flow, I love Argan Oil products, tie my hair up at night, use a very wide comb but only when I have to. Never tried the satin pillow cases though.

Embrace her curls, use tangle free spray, loads conditioner.

Moroccan oil it my life saver as a person with almost shirly temple curls

Just read a comment further down about Moroccan oil, might look into that for myself.

Is the hair long enough to tie it up? Otherwise, the satin pillow case is a good idea, my grandmother always used one.

moroccan oil after washing hair this coming from a mum of a toddler with super tight curls that was always getting knotted!!

Sleeping with hair in a plaite or curling rags and i have heard satin does help too

i am a grown up with the same problem i use a satin pillow case

I have heard of satin to wrap hair in to help but not just lying on the pillow slip

i love palmolive detangling spray for this

satin pillow cases are great!

Satin pillowcases definitely work, I also make sure I plait my daughters hair before she goes to bed so we have minimal knots in the mornings

Having curly hair, I first have to recommend getting a Diboa (or knock off) type brush! you wouldn’t believe how much better it makes things. A good conditioner, when washing hair, brush when wet and let it dry naturally. I sleep with it in a plat. Good luck!

I have grown up with thick curly hair so I feel your daughter and your pain! What I try to do is never go to bed with my hair loose, I’m not sure if it is good for your hair, but it seems to work for me having a loose pony tail in when I sleep. Conditioner is a godsend as well. If the knots get too bad put some conditioner in and massage it through the hair then carefully run a comb through it or a hair brush. I myself have not had much luck with a satin pillow case but I am a very warm sleeper so that could be why

Best of luck!

My daughter has thick curly hair and I feel your pain! It looks amazing the day after washing (which is seriously the only time I can get a comb through it), and then she looks like she lives under a bridge until the next washing day! The only way to combat the eternal knots is with a daily spray that I got from my hairdresser. It’s a Morrocan Oil, but is mixed with loads of water and doesn’t leave your hair oily or weighed down with residue. My hairdresser sprays everyone with it for extra shine, but I haven’t been able to get it from anywhere else but her. Ask your hairdresser if you can bring in a small spray bottle for her to fill and give it a try. Curly hair is a pain, but when it works, it is absolutely stunning.
