Put up your hair

The hands work behind the head, where the eyes cannot follow, and every unexpected tug at the scalp makes the next attempt harder. The pictures below split the job up so your child knows exactly what comes next.

About this visual support

Putting hair up happens largely outside the field of vision. The hands gather, twist and fasten behind the head while the child only feels what is going on without seeing any of it. When a tug arrives unannounced, the scalp gets more sensitive, and next time the hair tie meets protest before it even appears.

What visual support mainly offers here is predictability. With the steps laid out in pictures, a child knows there are four moments rather than an unknown number, and has time to brace for the part that will be felt. It also opens the door to the child taking over: it usually starts with holding the tie and ends with making the whole ponytail alone in front of the mirror.

Brush from the bottom upwards before gathering the hair. Tangles come loose at the ends without pulling at the roots, and the actual tying takes seconds once the hair is already smooth. Routined lets you put the pictures in the order that works in your home, with fourteen days to try it before the subscription starts.
