Getting a hair cut

Marie1980

My son is 13, he has severe ADHD and autism. When he was younger he didn’t mind having his hair and even went to the barbers. Now, he refuses. We spoken about it together so I can understand why he doesn’t like it and the main reason seems to be because it’s change. He says that I might cut it wrong, he might not like it etc. I cut his her once on a Sunday night ready for school, the next morning he did everything not to go to school, I finally got him to the school gates and he was heartbroken thinking that his “entire school will laugh” at him. I physically couldn’t make him walk in to school so upset so we went home and I took a day off work. 
My question is - does anyone have any advise, tips anything that I can use to make having his hair cut easier for both of us? 
Thanks in advance!

  • I tried a new hairdresser for me it was a big deal it’s like most people think about going to the dentist.

     I took my fidget noodles to make go round and round in my hands to help me feel calm. I haven’t written a bad review but it was a bad experience.  The reason my head is very sensitive I do not like it if anyone touches my head unless it is very gentle. Plus I do not like having a wet head, in fact I don’t like getting wet at all.
    Plus it feels worse when it is the winter because I don’t like getting cold.

    The hairdresser, I did tell her, I didn’t want her to laying my hair, I do not like my hair feeling different.  

    Now it feels shorter and thinner. I am so upset with her, I will never go back to her again. she didn’t listen,  she did what she wanted.                                                                  Plus she wasn’t soft on my head, it felt horrible, she was strong and firm.  I didn’t like it.

    I will now have to wait for my hair to feel normal again, it will take a year to get back to how it was.
    I will in a year go back to my normal hairdresser they are  £52 for just a hair trim and quick dry No style. so I can’t afford to go much, only 2 times maximum a year. The other one that cut to much is £35.00 for a cut and blow dry and style.
