Moms of girls and boys with long hair

DD's hair gets tangled and knotted whenever we ride in the car because her hair gets rubbed against the back of the car seat. Has anyone seen any solutions to this or figured out something on your own? I can carry a comb, but that doesn't help the fact that it hurts to comb out her knots.

Does she need conditioner? Johnsons and Johnsons didn't cut it enough for dd.

My DD's hair always gets tangled. Putting conditioner in her hair at bath time seems to help a little in the mornings, but I always put her hair up in some sort of ponytail, pigtails, etc.

I use a leave in conditioner that I spray in before combing out her hair after bath. That helps a lot.

I haven't noticed that issue with my gal, but I recently discovered this godsend: www.knotgenie.com/

I got mine via Zulilly, and I've seen them on Mamabargains/Babybargains, but they're worth their full price.

My daughter doesn't wince or say "ow," and I even let her brush my hair. I can attest that it doesn't hurt one bit!

I wish I discovered it years ago.

We've been using conditioner with every hair wash, it doesn't seem to matter.

I'm going to look up the knot genie.

I was thinking of maybe pinning a piece of satin type material to her car seat where the back of her head rests. Since it wouldn't be all over the seat, I wouldn't think it would interfere with the mechanics of the seat.
