My daughter absolutley hates having her hair brushed she screams and cries everytime i do it. Is there a hairbrush that any of you use on your girls or boys that help?

I’m a caregiver here, the girl I take care of is a teenager and she still hates getting her hair brushed, mainly in the mornings when she wakes up. Ever since she was little, we have recited lines from her favorite movies while brushing hair. We keep her hair cut short so it’s not as tangly but in case, we use a tangle free brush.
Hugs to you,
Stella
