GM, I would just put conditioner in her mane and do big, loose braids and then loop them up. She's so cute, BTW.

That was gonna be my suggestion, minus the loopage. Hunk has a short mane but I'll still do braids (without looping) on the flippy part in the winter to train it to one side. It's not a problem in the summer since he's banded so often.

You could try several small braids in the forelock, too, if you wanna keep that in check as well.
