Why Hair Brushing Can Be a Daily Struggle

For many children with autism, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, or anxiety, hair brushing isn’t just uncomfortable—it can be painful.
Standard brushes can pull, scratch, or overstimulate the scalp, leading to tears, avoidance, and morning stress for the whole family.

That’s why we love the sensory hairbrush—designed to reduce resistance and make grooming calm, gentle, and more independent.

🧠 What Makes a Sensory Hairbrush Different?

Our sensory-friendly brushes use ultra-soft, flexible bristles and ergonomic handles to minimise discomfort and reduce resistance to brushing.

✔️ Flexible bristles for gentle detangling
✔️ Soft on the scalp—no scratching or pulling
✔️ Designed for kids who are sensitive to touch
✔️ Lightweight, easy-grip handle for all abilities
