I ...I have the same problem with my girls and son. I make my own leave in conditioner. It works great for the little ones and I think it works better & cheaper than the "real stuff". Anyway, I use whatever conditioner I am using at the time for me and using a spray bottle-like the kind at the hair salon, water and guestimate the amount of conditioner to use. I will put hot water in the bottle, add my conditioner, put the top on - shake til it's disovled and then add cold water to fill up. That's it! It make take a few tries to figure the right amount of conditioner to use so you don't use too much. When your little ones get up from their nap or whenever you need to fix their hair, you can re-apply or just use regular water (depending on how concentrated your conditioner mix is). Best wishes!

But, as a small child, my sister, also a blondie with fine curly-ish hair, had the "nest" also. Someone had suggested giving her a silk pillow case to sleep one. Right now, I realize her hair is maybe a little damaged from sleeping on regular sheets and/or pillows, but in a short time, this should make some improvements! It really helped on my sister's hair.
