My 2.5 year old LOATHES hair washing. She has always enjoyed a bath, but from 18 months or so, just screams and screams and screams when it's time to wash her hair.
We currently lay her back in the bath, then put the shampoo on, then lay her back again to wash it out, but it's a full-on wrestling match and meltdown every single time, and not very nice for any of us.
We have tried using the shower attachment (no go) and a jug of water (also no go). We considered investing in one of those toddler hat-things that is supposed to help, but want to be sure it would work.
We have tried bribing with an extra story, have explained how hair gets stinky, and shown her Mummy washing her hair. No dice.
Any tips? Or alternatively, how long can we go between hair washes before Social Services get involved?
