I had been having some trouble with tangling and matting. I found a hairstyle that works great to prevent this and is cute at the same time. It is my version of the "pineapple". The Pineapple is a ponytail on top of your head. Many times I wear my hair this way for sleeping. But I found that with an old fashioned bananna clip the style is cute enough to wear out of the house. I have received many compliments while I have been out and about. I hope this style will work for you aswell. =)
