Hair Brushing

Zoezlk

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum.. my daughter is 5 - she was diagnosed  at 3 ½ years old. She has sensory autism. 

I'm looking for any advice.. I've come to a brick wall! Hair brushing! She will not let me brush her hair.

 I can only just wash it in the bath but can't brush it or run my fingers through it - nothing. She hates the brushes and throws them. I have managed so far to just clip it back and put a bobble in it for nursery but it is starting to dreadlock..

Does anyone have any advice or tips? I am starting to think ill just have to leave it to dreadlock until she's abot older but I really don't want to if I can avoid it. 

I appreciate any help!

Thanks

Zoe

  • Can you make a game of it, treat her like a VIP customer in a salon, or go to a salon? I used to do quite a few children who kick off and hated having their hair cut or brushed. What sort of hair does she have, straight or curly, I ask because different sort of hair get on better with different types of brush and comb.
