Camilla McGill explains why kids hate hair brushing: tangled hair, pain, and disorientation. Four fixes: use detangle spray, let them pick the brush, have them sit facing a mirror, and brush gently while holding their hand.
Hair brushing. Why do some children find it so awful? Number 1, we can let it get really, really tangled. Number 2, for some children it's terribly, terribly painful, and for others it's kind of disorientating when we try and brush their hair when they're standing up. So what can we do to help? Use a water spray or a detangle spray. Let them choose the brush, maybe get 2 or 3 and they can choose it. Have them sit down and look in front of a mirror in order to— for you to brush their hair. And another one, hold your hand as you brush and do it gently. Message me below and I'll send you my free guide, 10 Brilliant Ways to Get Ready for School. And make sure you're following me.
