What can I do with my almost 1 year olds hair?

She's about to hit 11 months and has always had lots of hair that I can't manage. I have thicker 3c to 4a hair, and her hair is still that fine soft slippery baby hair. I thought it would have got more curly by now so I hadn't planned for this.
I tie it up but it just slips out, I braid it and it slips out, whatever I do it slips out.
It also keeps getting dry from her playing or getting food and milk in it, especially on the back where she sleeps on it.
At the moment I use a leave in conditioner and coconut oil and just try to tie it up (and keep re doing it a zillion times a day) if I don't tie it up, it will become a tangled mess within a few hours.
I'm just really stuck with her hair and find the fine slippery texture hard to deal with because I can't just tie it or braid it like I do with my own.
I know I also need to find a way to get more moisture, but don't know what I can use on her hair? Anything too heavy will weigh it down but everything lighter just to get enough moisture in.
Help!!!
