Hello! I Need Some Advise. My Son Is 18 And Has No Problem With Good Daily Hygiene Except He Refuses To Wash His Hair 🫤 Any Ideas To Help?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

He has high functioning autism and attends college. I've gone over all the reasons why it's important to keep his hair and scalp clean but I'm lucky if I can get him to shampoo his hair every two weeks or so....Has anyone had this issue and has any advise?

I used the Garnier kind really often when I broke my ankle 3 years ago. It worked a lot better than I expected.

Have you thought about dry shampoo?
