Flyaways!!! | Imamother

Any tips for dealing with my daughter's flyaway hair? She has curly hair with a tendency towards frizziness. After every bath, I put creme in her hair, which helps reduce the frizziness, and every morning, after making her ponytail, I smooth down the top with a bit of water followed by a bit more creme. It all helps, but she still comes home from school looking quite messy because of the hairs that don't stay in the ponytail - it's not her fault - they just don't reach! She wears a headband along with the ponytail to help keep things in place - but after the headband and before the ponytail begins, everything's flying away!

Thanks. I'm already using hair cream that helps. I guess gel would hold it in place even better...but I'm afraid it will look too "gelled" on an 8 yo.

Is there any hair style that would help?
