but not as much as is present along her hairline and nape. I braid her hair or put her hair in ponytails but need to do something, though I don't know what, about the bumps. She does play with sand which sometimes get into her hair. If there's a shampoo or cream I should use, not use grease or any hair product or if I need to wash her hair more frequently, please advise.
