Haircut needed!!

natkelly1983

Hi,

My son is nearly 3 and hates having his hair touched, washed, brushed etc.  I've tried cutting it when he's asleep but I'm not a hairdresser and it's beginning to look like a bowl cut.  I live in Egham, Surrey and wondering if anyone knows of any hairdressers with experience of autism?

Thanks

Natalie

    When small I also hated to have my hair touched. It actually hurt. Perhaps your son is the same.

    You may find a mobile hairdresser who can come to your home, will be patient and will cut your son's hair without washing it first. You may find he doesn't mind clippers as much as cutting with scissors, there's less need for hands to touch the head. And apologies if you already  know all this.
