Bad hair day, everyday

I no longer know what to do about this nest at the back of Gioia's head.  Other than shaving off her hair, are their any other alternatives.  It looks like this every morning before I tackle it with her brush.  She is going for a trim again on Friday, and I do condition it three or four times a week so I reckon it is in good condition...eish, she looks like Dame Edna! Her severe bad attitude is subsiding now, the results of her labour visible.
