Have you considered buying those earplugs that you 'mold' in your fingers before applying? They can be purchased at any drug store. And while I'm sure you'll have to be careful that they aren't taken out during the course of the hairwashing, they might be helpful in assuring that the water doesn't drip down into her ear canal, KWIM?
In terms of what works: I'm a seemingly CC momma of two (hopefully more????) babies that are now pre-schoolers. Both are AA. Both are girls. One has very thick, tightly curled hair; the other has thin, tightly curled hair (though not as curly as her sister).
I have found that it is essential to spritz their hair with water every day, towel dry, then apply the oil (Biosilk, by Farouk), then comb through with a wide toothed comb. Sure, there are days that I hit a tender spot and have to take more time in gently combing through the hair; but overall, it's fairly easy to do, since we've been doing this routine for a very long time now. We wash their hair once a week (sometimes sooner) with shampoo/conditioner, towel dry the hair and apply the oil again while the hair is still wet.
This is what works for us......
Sincerely,
Linny
