And you can't put it up, because of the neck thing. Have you tried barrettes? That's what my mother did to our hair when we were little and our hair was thin at the ends. It held a lot better than scrunchies and bands at the bottom. You could do several braids. You wouldn't have to redo them for *weeks*. Well. One week. Get somebody else to do the braids, maybe? (Jenn had her hair like that for *ages* in high school, she just kept braiding it up in lots of little braids that hung down.)

I mean, there's other things you can do to hair to make it stop acting like... well, hair. Braids of various sorts are just the simplest. Keeps them out of your face, and out of your way, and makes sure it doesn't tangle.

But if you can't do braids, I suppose the answer is to make sure the hair is brushed out often. You can see why I prefer braiding Ana's hair. Can you imagine having to sit down a two-year-old two, three, four times a day to do her hair? As it is, it often has to be re-done after her nap!
