Question 2 year old daughter with really bad tangled hair. What should I do???

My two year old daughter has very fine/thin hair. Every morning when she wakes up the back of her head/hair looks horrible. The best way for me to describe it is that it looks a lot like Barbie Doll's hair when it’s all tangled up. I use detangler every morning and gentle comb her hair. If I'm too rough with her hair when combing it, the hair will fall out. She has a huge bald spot at the back of her hair. The bald spot on her head isn’t too bad or noticeable. You have to pick up the top layers of hair in order to see it. I'm just afraid that she may lose even more hair. She should be growing hair, not losing it!

If anyone has any suggestions as what I should do, please let me know. Thanks!!!

Try braiding her hair at night. I have a neice that has long hair that tangles really bad and she is really tender headed. My sil braids her hair at night and that seems to help with the tangles.

Re: 2 year old daughter with really bad tangled hair. What should I do???

I had this problem as a child. Mornings were a nightmare for me. Screaming and crying as my mother lost her patience trying to remove the tangles. Sometimes she would get so annoyed she's just get the scissors and cut the tangles out! I had layered hair before it was popular, lol. Braiding helped when my hair was long enough, but I didn't like the waviness it created. Johnson's and Johnson's had a product called, "No More Tangles." It was wonderful. When I was about 10 or 11, I started washing my hair every morning and as long as I used a good conditioner, I didn't have a problem with the tangles. My hair is still a tangled mess in the mornings, and on days that I don't shampoo, I have learned to be very gentle and use a very wide toothed comb.

Raw apple cider vinegar does a great job in detangling and softening. Mix a few tablespoons in a litre of warm water and rinse the hair after shampooing. Also massaging some wheatgrass juice onto the scalp a few times a week should strengthen and reduce fallout.
