It's probably TnR'd too tightly against the scalp. When you TnR or back comb locks, they should be somewhat loose at the scalp. There should be about 1/2 - 1 inch of untangled hair at the root. If it's too tight, it'll stick up like that. You could get some jojoba oil and take a small dab of it and massage it into the root. Loosen that hair up. If it's nottootight, it'll loosen, and the lock will lay a bit flatter. If that doesn't work, you might want to take it out, and put it into more gently

It's loose at root. I think maybe her hair is just too stiff? Maybe the oil will help it lay flatter.

How long is his/her hair? When locks are shorter, they stick out anyway. It's just that there isn't enough weight to pull it down. As it grows out, there will be more weight pulling it down.

The oil could help, though. But don't just leave it there. Wash it out afterwards

It's only about 4 or 5 inches.

That's still pretty short. It'll be another inch or so before it weighs itself down on it's on. But the oil should help some
