PLEASE if you are a parent of a child with special needs or caring for an elderly person, please share your expertise and advice to educate me and the curly hair community.

I know for my kiddo who is autistic, she would not lay down like this to get her hair washed at all despite me continually trying starting when she was young. It’s not comfortable for her sensory wise. She used to tolerate me trying different styles, and I know how to do lots of protective styles, but at about 4 she started only tolerating pigtail braids or a bun. We wash in the shower or bath, and she’s 6.

Wow I never thought about that 🧐🤨

You really don’t see or hear people talking about it.

@@VictoriaVaden I wonder how parents have been dealing with it…like unique ways, or maybe simpler than we’re thinking.
