Hair Issues

MrsTys1026

Hi,

I’m looking for advice on how i can help my daughter (Autistic), she is getting so distressed about her hair being perfect, no strands can be remotely showing and no bumps at all. Can anyone recommend something I can use? She hates hairspray and the daily hair battle is turning into meltdowns and being late for school everyday.

  • I have long, slightly wavy (prone to frizzy in humid weather) hair.

    At home I might wear a cotton kerchief / bandana / headscarf - folded into a triangle and tied behind the nape of my neck - so my face isn't hassled by tickly strands of hair.  I use ones by Every-Ville available as one for about £5 (or they do packs of 6) online.  They are available in many designs and colour-ways.  I tend to tame my tresses by wearing the bandana in the same way as the first example in this video tutorial (they include some other options too - which might be helpful if people find they are irritated by a cotton knot at the back of their neck):

    When I want to tell hair tendrils who is boss - ready for going somewhere - I use a bit of product which comes in a 99g red and white tin for around £4.30 (available in some supermarkets / chemist shops / twin packs online). 

    You only use a little bit - so a tin lasts me (seemingly) forever.

    It is called "DAX Wave &:Groom Hair Dress".

    My skin tends to whinge mightily about a lot of shampoos and hair products - but I find this product is OK.

    It also helps that it isn't too heavily scented - there is a fragrance - but I cope with it fine.
