Parents and caretakers: How do you get a preschooler to be willing to let her hair be brushed?

1 Answer

Answer :

My daughters was the same way when she was that age. First get a good hair brush like a Mason Pearson. Second, I would use a detangler product. Without a detangling product, it was a really painful battle. I would always try to brush it out after her bath and while reading. Her mind was on something else. I actually went and purchased a book on various hair braids and would have her pick out a braid for the day. That way, I got her buy in. It also was helpful when she got good comments back from other children and parents on how her hair looked when it was brushed out nicely or put up.
