A boar's nest

So my sweet Nattie girl has a serious issue. She is constantly moving her head back and forth when she is lying down, sleeping, in her carseat, you name it. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it does a serious number on her hair. See for yourself!
It's a freaking boar's nest, as my Dad would say.
It gets so ratty that you can't comb it or run your fingers through it or anything. Not to mention the part where it sticks straight out and she looks like she has the beginnings of dreadlocks. Kind of awful.
I have tried silk blankets, my conditioner, and even this stuff,
but no dice. Nothing works. As soon as she wakes up she's back to the boar's nest look.
Does anyone have any other ideas on what to do? Anyone know what hair product black people use to get the frizz out of their hair?? (can I say that? I don't mean anything by it...they just have different hair then I do. You all get what I mean, right??) My Natalie says thanks! :)
At least my child has hair, right? She could be bald instead.

hey we like the bald babies around here! That is crayt, I have never seen it get so bad on a baby. No idea what to use, like I said we have the baldies in our fam.

I can tell you from experience that the detangler or spray on stuff just makes it worse... I use baby lotion... a dab or lotion and some water on my finger tips and just work it in fast.... Maycee's hair always looked like a rats nest! It makes it seem a little more greasy towards the end of the day, but usually, after a while, I don't have to use it anymore... hope that helps!

Yes, my advise...go with dreadlocks. :)
