Hello,
I really hope someone can help me. I have a DD who is 12. She has ASD and LD and very, very thick, wavy hair. It is beautiful and many would kill for it, but she HATES it. She cannot manage it herself so we have to have it long enough to be able to tie it back everyday.
She gets upset every time she has it brushed, she gets upset every time she has it washed.
I have very short hair and I would love for her to as well (as would she) but we are either told by hair dressers that it is too thick and won't sit right, or they have just refused as her hair is so beautiful.
Honestly if she could have a pixie cut I think she would be a happier person.
Can anyone help me with what I could do? Can she have it short? It would need to be really short. She hasn't got the dexterity to keep it out of her face unless it is really short or long and tied back. Also it get knotty which makes the brushing even more distressing.
I just don;t understand the logic of it not sitting right if it were short as if she were a boy surely she would have short hair. I could really do with some help with knowing what to do.
Thanks so much - this has been something I have wanted to sort it out for her for years and I just don't know where to turn.
