Mikko has beautiful hair. I'm a stylist who has taken children and adults with disabilities into my shop. The first thing is, I didn't have the parent or guardian in with us. They will over act. Second, I use Mane and Tail detangling spray. Do wonders. Stop allowing her to control the situation. Sit her in a high chair. Detangle into separate braids loosely. Then shampoo her scalp. Once completed, spray more detangler. Job will be much easier 😊

Ive always said she has the prettiest hair I've ever seen. She's such a beautiful little girl❤

Thank you so much from a mom...who also has an autistic daughter and struggles with a hair routine. I felt alone and hopeless..Thank you for sharing techniques you use. We all are truly in this together...you restored my hope for better days...thanks❤

Mikko has the prettiest hair and she is ALL of us getting her hair dried. Bless her sweetness.

Amazing parents, Chris and Precious with an equally amazing little girl, Mikko. God bless you.

I think you two are fantastic parents and Mikko's hair is beautiful.

You both deserve mother and father patience badges, this channel is named so appropriately 🥰

She's such a sweetheart with so much hair. I've seen a tip on several channels where they wash their little girls hair with the twists still in. That helps and prevents more tangles.

Miklos is so so cute. She's beautiful. And, she's so blessed to have you as a mother. You're so patient and dedicated to Mikko. God bless you.

You have the patience of Job!!!! God bless you. Please give yourself GRACE!!!! I think you need to give yourself a break also. Peace and Blessings to you and your family!!!!🥰

The way you are so gentle and patient with her, is showing you care for her and love her unconditionally! You’re such a great mom. May many more blessing come to you and your family. God bless you! ❤❤❤

Hi just a small tip. It's ok to wash the hair while the twist are still in. That way the 2nd detangling won't be so bad.

I admire the way you both work really well together, and how both understand and patiencely cater to her needs. ❤️

As an autistic adult still trying to heal from the trauma of showering as a child, some of the comments in this video ranged from insensitive to lowkey triggering. It doesn't matter how many times you explain, people will just keep saying the kid is just spoiled and needs a firmer hand because they still see it as just being defiance or a tantrum. People just don't understand what sensory processing difficulties feel like, and what forcing your kid to do something against their will (especially if they feel like you're hurting them) may do to a child, and the long-lasting impact it can have on their life even after they have long grown up. I was raised by a very invalidating family, and seeing you guys going out of your way over and over to try to come up with creative solutions to do what needs to be done while being respectful of Mikko as her own person and trying to accommodate for her needs has restored my faith in the goodness of people. The world could use more people with the level of empathy and compassion that you guys have. I know all of these challenges must be exhausting at times, but you are at least trying your very best, and putting her needs above your own, which is far more than I can say about a lot of parents and educators. Seeing Mikko being able to wash her hair almost uneventfully for the first time has legit brought tears to my eyes. I was just so overjoyed and proud of the three of you. When she splashed water on you, it made me laugh out loud, and the laughter mixed in with the tears. I would never expect Mikko to actually have FUN during hair-washing day. For a split second, she was no longer an autistic toddler struggling with sensory overload, she was just a happy-go-lucky toddler being mischievous and playful like all toddlers should be. It also felt like she wanted you to join in on the fun! I also thought it was hilarious that the whole time she was eyeing you like a hawk to make sure you weren't using the other brush. She will keep you on your toes because she won't be that easily fooled! 🤭 I know that she still has a long road of challenges ahead of her as she grows older, especially when she is old enough to go to school, but these little victories feel absolutely monumental. Well done, all of you!

You should try washing her hair with the twists in. Wash 1 twist at a time. It will keep it stretched and from getting as tangled. Afterwards it will make detangling easier and quicker as its already sectioned.

Hats off-big up to you guys for the love and patience you have with precious Mikko. I also really love the teamwork between both of you in getting hair washed. You guys are awesome! Keep it up!🙏🇯🇲❤

When my three girls were little they all had waist length hair very thick and they were tender headed. Part her hair in fourths and one fourth at a time use a large tooth comb starting at the bottom then work your way up to the scalp. Repeat each section. I never used a brush to detangle plastic or otherwise. It pulls. I used the large comb on the blower dryer parting smaller sections within the four sections. It straightens the hair while drying with amazing results. Wishing you both the best

Wow, you haven't washed her hair in months, and it lathered up as if it wasn't even dirty. You guys are so awesome, and I thank God for your patience. I grew up like if I moved. I'm going to get popped with the comb.

The way she acts has less to do with her developmental issues and more to do with your inability to be strict with her. She's allowed to make life difficult for you all unnecessarily.

So many emotions as I watch this. I have 2 autistic children who are verbal and hair has always been a hard issue. First of all, she is beautiful and her hair slays!! Secondly, you and your husband are the most patient and loving parents I've ever seen. Just makes my heart so happy! Third, her little laugh is amazing ♡

Mikko's face in the beginning! She knew something was about to go down.

I feel Little Miss Mikko maybe be just a tad spoiled!

Meiko is absolutely adorable, and you and Chris work beautifully together. You all are doing amazing.

Is she saying “I’m pretty” 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 OMG!!!! Yup I just started crying!!!

I love the tag team action and she gets double the affection when it hurts. Miko you’re so blessed.

Being disabled is not a ticket to doing anything that you please!!! Discipline is vital!!

Mikko's hair is gorgeous! ❤

Your patience and kindness are such an inspiration. You have a beautiful family. Sending love from Illinois.

I feel so much love coming from you and Mikko's Dad as you all take care of her. God truly made each of you for each other. .. a most beautiful and inspiring family. Thank you for the love. 😍🥰🥰🖤💚❣️😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!

You have the patience and care of saints. I commend your teamwork 👏

Precious you and your husband did a great job. Little Miko also helped. Team work at its finest!!!!!❤

Chris and Precious, you both did such a good job with this new method of washing her hair. I really like the mild pressure back rubbing technique you used to calm her when she got worked up. I am so surprised that she even let you use that dryer. I would have thought that the sound would have been terrifying for her. Thank you both for sharing. ❤❤❤

For natural home remedy detangler Use honey, water 💦, olive oil or coconut oil, Avocado 🥑& your conditioner into a blender til the texture is smooth. Apply to hair. Let sit for 15,20mins rinse & you will see the difference in the softness! This mixture saved my life

Such a beautiful child and family. I'm praying for you. You and your husband are doing a fantastic job!

There are so many Corners that can be cut. Like using a proper detangler brush. let it air dry instead of blow dry. Since you're going to straighten it maybe one of those brushes with the straightener attached to it, I hope you see all of the suggestions here and pick whats best for you to do on precious Mikko. You guys are doing great 💛💛💛

Her hair is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!

If you know the pain she goes through while getting her hair done, why on earth would you do practice cornrows in her head when you have no clue what you are doing? Literally went through an entire braid while she cried. And then record and post it on top of that. I feel so bad for Mikko😔 kzfaq.infozYijWCm0ozA?si=QKxsGFE70jAjw5wD

Man, this requires a lot of patience. God bless you all! ❤️

Mom and Dad make an amazing team! WOW… it’s a process but look at the progress she has made! She’s in the bath and with small steps, you’ve found a routine that works right now. Mikko is smart and yes “pretty” i heard her!!!! Great job!!!! ❤that ducky picture! Super cute

She’s so beautiful

I too go through this with my daughter. We struggle a lot. Thanks so much for the video

Good to see her eating 😁

There are a lot youtube videos that can give ideas on how best to care for Mikko's hair. They have saved me a lot of time and frustration!

Mikko reminds me of myself growing up. I hated getting my hair combed too. I suffer from a type of sensory overload disorder and the SMALLEST kink is PAINFUL. Stay strong Mom! You’re an amazing woman ❤️❤️❤️

I love how you know how patient you have to be and how you redirect her "adverse" behaviors into something fun or cool. And the way yall work as a team to get through this stuff is amazing. You have my respect for real

God knew her parents needed to be special and he chose the 2 of you 💖 I have a granddaughter who is 1/2 black and she has hair just like Mikko’s, she’s 10 now and it goes way down her back wet it’s absolutely beautiful. And no joke when my daughter had her 2nd daughter Kiyah said she would be a girl and have hair like hers and you know 😊 Zaylinn is Mexican and white but she has the curliest hair 😍😍 Mikko is so precious and Oh my Heart pretty 😊 so very pretty. Thank you for sharing her I know I feel privileged 💖

You and your husband are the best parents to Mikko. The way you guys work together and are gentle and explain throughly to her is amazing!!!! Have you guys considered taking her to a salon or getting a salon chair? Also I’ve seen the mat that kids lay on and get their hair washed in the sink and you can attach your phone or iPad to keep her occupied

She is so pretty and smart! And you are a Great mum!! With a capital G!!

Amazing parents. Love how Chris is actually involved.

She has so much hair. She is probably tender headed as we say in the south, too. Try letting her wear 4 ponytails and brush it up a couple of time a week. I hope you do not get tired of our suggestions. You are doing a great job. ❤

Mikko is precious! ❤thanks for sharing here with us!! ❤

Great job Mikko, mommy and daddy! You're a wonderful team. Blessings 💛

Ain’t no way

I respect this moms patience

She has the prettiest hair I've ever seen. I'm seriously, absolutely gorgeous... Edited to add: And you have the patience of Job. Seriously, the way you keep your own self in check is admirable. I don't always do as good as I would like when I get frustrated and overwhelmed myself.

You do an amazing job. Patience is a virtue. God bless you all. I hope you get your "me time" as well.❤

You guys are such amazing and patience parents ❤ I have friends with autistic kids and I know it’s not easy always to be patience!

You are so awesome. You work with her so well and you have so much patience with her. I applaud you cause I know it’s not easy. God bless you and your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love the team work 💪🏽. She has the most beautiful ,healthy hair.

Awww this was so beautiful to watch! Great job Mikko's mom🥺🤍

Mikko, you did such a great job!!! ❤❤

I love that you all are working as a team. Yeah Team Mikko! 🥰🥰🥰

My beautiful baby!❤ you guys did an amazing job with her during the process! It will get easier, keep up the good work my loves! ❤

It’s totally gorgeous! You all did a great job! Mikko have wonderful parents. God Bless!

You guys are amazing and loving parents ❤️ I know when Mikko grows up she's going to be such and amazing person. Keep going you guys don't ever give up! God bless you all ❤🙏

I am so impressed. I see the wide tooth comb, working in sections and all. You are doing well mama and Mikko has such beautiful hair

Mikko is so precious and her hair is absolutely beautiful and healthy. Wow you have quite a wash process…excellent job mom & dad. God’s continued blessings to your family.

Have you tried starting your detangling at the end of her hair and working your way up to the top. Sometimes just starting from the top will cause there to be more snags

Mikko is so adorable she will over come this milestone

It is a beautiful sight to see mommy and daddy teaming up. You two are amazing parents. May God to continue to give you patience, inspiration, and hope. I pray that the love you two share will grow strong so the challenges ahead will only bring you closer.

You made it through. You’re outstanding know that! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Mikkos hair is amazing. What wonderful parents she has, lovely family ❤❤❤

Aloe vera is good for detailing, and Strands of Faith is good as well. Also, trimming or cutting her hair, too.

You both needed a break. You are the best!

Her hair is truly very, very beautiful. Glad to see she’s still trying to get in and enjoy her inflatable bath. I wanted to order the same tub that you linked but my son is 4 and I don’t know if it will be as roomy for him as it is for Mikko. If you have any possible suggestions for a 4 year old inflatable tub thank you. Love all your videos it’s comforting to help with my son

I luv how patient mama and dad are with princess ❤❤❤

What a beautiful angel. You are such a patient and gentle mommy. 🙏❤️

Mikko is So Beautiful!!! Mom & Dad I always See The Two of You Take the Best Care of Mikko Possible. The Both Of You Love Mikko Unconditionally. ❤❤❤❤

This is a whole lot of work! You guys are so patient ❤

Oh my goodness!!!! Precious, she is precious!!!!

I'm confused why you needed to straighten her hair

You're such amazing attentive parents ❤ bless you both 💖

At 18:34 it sounds like she says either "me pretty" or "pretty please" ❤

She loves that brush. I think because it smoothing the soft of it is nice💕💕💕

Mikko has such pretty hair love it❤

You mentioned before that Mikko has a high tolerance for pain but brushing her hair brings some sort of discomfort. Try to limit the number of times you pull at her hair and stroke it. Once it is detangle move to the next step and finish as quickly as possible. To wash her hair, make a pallet on the kitchen counter and put a pillow under her knees. Washing her hair this way is making her anxious with water splashing down her back. She is now cold and wet. Grabbing her is causing her even more stress when she is trying to escaped her discomfort. She needs to be made comfy and kept dry. Other kids might find that little tub fun, but if someone took me to the hair salon, and my hair was to be washed this way, I would not at all be happy. Knowing her anxiety I would not continue to pull and stretch her hair. Her hair looks beautiful but so long sitting and all the pulling and painful detangling is only making her more upset and anxious. I would say maybe you could limit the number of braids and the amount of time doing her hair.

You both are doing an awesome job.😊

Mikko is such a lucky girl to have you both ❤

Mikko has beautiful hair. You are so patient with her.

Mikko and her hair are stunning❤😊

Whew Chile!! I remember these days. I'm so glad I had a boy and couldn't wait till I was able to cut it. His hair was just as long. We had the no don't use that brush battle also. Fun times. Lol your doing great

She melts my heart ❤️ Beautiful Girl with beautiful parents ❤

Thank you for sharing. It reminds us to be kind and merciful to others as we don't know the struggles that are dealing with ❤

She’s just beautiful and has such gorgeous hair!

She’s so adorable ❤️❤️

My daughter has been using these products in my granddaughters hair from the beginning. She is now 10 yrs old and her hair is waist length. I thought it was inheritance, but maybe it's Carol's Daughters. Walgreens keeps it on sale and open 24/7. Great job parents. She is beautiful.

I wouldn't put her through that I'd cut it first ,poor thing you can always fix her hair if it's shorter ,she doesn't have to have long hair less stress for both of you

I'm curious. What's the purpose of straightening her hair with the blow dryer? It seems like you're able to style it in its curly state just fine. Her hair is super cute in the twists.

Why?? Are you straightening her hair??

mom and dad you are doing an amazing job with the hair wash
