Your sister is so awesome! Congratulations for her and this little angel!
When I first started learning about my natural hair I used Chocolate Hair Vanilla Care. It's a great website that is desgined for people in your sisters situation.
Next I recommend she reads The Science of Black Hair. It's the best book about hair i've ever read and will give her a througouh understanding of African American Hair.
Lastly, I've been telling everybody about The Maximum Hydration Method because it's the best thing since sliced bread. The results have really been phenonemal with me. Plus it is cheap and easy to do. Best of luck!
Looks great! I love the Klutz book of braids for simple directions and advances techniques. My copy is a little dated, but maybe they have edited since the 90's.
Here's a link to the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/Braids-Bows-Book-Instruction-Klutz/dp/B000W0C2FO
I had that when I was a kid- it's wonderful! I was never much of a girly girl (I had two older brothers and loved Nintendo and playing with war soldiers more), but this book was an exception. I'm surprised you can still find it! link
I don't have C-PTSD but can definitely relate. It's not always easy to find a stylist who can do what you ask for. I'm not asian but my hair also sticks up straight if cut too short, even, heh.
I ended up learning how to cut my own hair, which isn't too too complicated in retrospect.
It was a version of this book (How to Cut Your Own or Anybody Else's Hair, by Bob Bent) I believe that finally presented an approach straightforwardly enough to get me going:

The Science of Black Hair there is also a kindle addition
The Science of Black Hair: A Comprehensive Guide to Textured Hair Care https://www.amazon.com/dp/0984518428/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8mFhzbXWHV9V2
If you're not into the clippers, I highly recommend finding a friend to help you with the cut. It's pretty difficult to get the back of your head right on your own.
In high school, we had an old version of this book. The instructions and illustrations were very good, and we got good results.
