To not do dd's hair any more?

Dd is 11 and just coming to the end of Year 6.

She has sensory issues and possible ASD, we are getting her assessed at the moment.

She has trouble doing her own hair so I do it for her every morning before school. She is VERY fussy about it, she usually just has a pony tail but is obsessed with any 'bumps' in her hair. Her hair is quite curly and it's hard to get it to lie flat. Most morning we end up with a row about it.

I have threatened many times not to do it for her any more but then I think with her difficulties that would be mean.

She uses a very soft hair brush which probably doesn't help with getting the hair to lie flat. But any other brush is painful for her.

I think you need to give her the options and let her choose.

There’s a site called sweethearts hair design and they do a bloody brilliant unscented detangler. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle!

Not a solution for mornings but if you don’t know about it the curly girl co conditioning method has completely changed my god daughters curls! (It’s on fb)
