3 year olds hair

My daighter was 3 in January, she is currently being tested for global development delay, she loves going in the bath, but hates me touching her hair or even trying to comb it? She starts nursery in a week? And I have no idea how to do her hair or anything that helped?? Any ideas please

Hey. Have you tried a hairbrush specifically made for children/adults who have sensitive scalps, it’s called the sensory happy hair brush. The pins on the brush are softer. Sometimes using a pain brush on the skin and then brushing over the hair can sometimes helps as like a massage but all over and then she may eventually get used to a brush ? Also keeping the hair shorter can help too without the dress of brushing longer hair x

Put on a movie & give her a snack while you’re doing her hair (: My sister HATEDDDD people touching her hair; it was the only thing my mom could do to distract her long enough to be able to put her hair up.

She has very notty hair all the time, even when after I have eventually washed it? It's very curly too

I think there is a spray that de-tangles the hair without needing to brush it ? Would she let you just spray something on?

Disclaimer: my hair is straight so take with pinch of salt, and i don't want to presume, but your hair is pretty straight in your picture but if your daughters hair is very curly you might want to look specifically into curly hair techniques if you aren't already familiar with them e.g https://fairytaleshaircare.com/blogs/blog/the-complete-guide-for-curly-haired-kids (random Google result from quick search). Using a wide-tooth comb rather than a brush, and combing when wet rather than dry are things I've come across that might be worth trying if you haven't.
