Please be gentle with me, I'm putting my thread in this section because I don't know where to put it and I really need help !

My dd has problem hair. She has it shoulder level. It is really wavy underneath and straight ish on the top and we are trying to grow her fringe. She is feeling really self conscious about it and other children have been remarking on it. After a night sleep, it is full of knots so I brush it in the morning, put it in a pony tail and it really doesn't look pretty, it's half wavy, half straight. I have suggested to plait it but she refused.

What do you suggest me doing ? I'm great and original at hair style ! Should I straighten it ? Should I made her have a bob so maybe it will be easier to manage ? Help please !

She has gorgeous hair. I really don't think her hair is the problem at all - you are probably right in thinking it is self esteem issues - and the children in her class are just picking up on what she (and you) seem to think is her weakest point.

I'm glad she is happy with the bob!
