These BRUSHES Make Washing Mikko's Hair EASY 

Bless you for your patience. You're a good mom and a good person. And if you don't hear it enough, you're doing a good job.

You're so good with accommodating her without giving into her every whim. It's so important! She's learning that you'll always make her safe, but she can't just be fresh & disrespectful. I love watching you navigate that part because a lot of parents don't do that & it shows!!

My daughter (who is autistic) has similar hair and she hates wash day and detangling. When she was younger she had the same reactions and would just cry and cry. I found that she cried less when I took smaller sections and could manage more how bad the pulling was on her scalp. She’s 11 now and although she still gets upset about hair day she’s able to sit more and handle more styles. This video made me realize how far she’s come. 🙂

She's such a sweet little girl. Thank God she has you for a mother!

I remember these times with my mom. I remember when the water would touch my scalp; I would feel like I was drowning. It was all mental. However, I would gasp for air and have panic attacks. I was eventually able to go to a salon once a month and sit in one of those chairs. I don't remember having any panic attacks after that. However, at that age, my sensory issues were so out of control. Anything would scare me-wind blowing, loud noises, etc. It took a team of family members encouraging and helping my mom with my hair. I eventually was able to take some control and wash it myself but I was well into my teenage years. I think, I stopped the salon around 16 or 17. I was at that age where I wanted a more adult style, so I took over and learned how to perm, etc...As of today, I'm chemical free, but I rarely allow anyone to touch my hair. It's still a very big sensory issue for me. Please continue to give her the language and speech therapy. It WILL HELP sooooo much!!

3:35 it sounds like she said “whatever 💅🏾“ 😂 😂 I’m kidding lol but her speech is getting better every video!!

God gave Mikko a perfect mom. God bless you 🙏🏿 for your patience

Mikko and I have similar textures. The individual stands are fine but the density is great. I use the same first two brushes for the exact reason you stated. The unbrush doesn’t get down to the root if my hair is very tangled but it’s great for in-betweens and smoothing the hair. Mikko is beautiful and you are doing a wonderful job raising her. As a woman in her 30’s without kids yet, you are an inspiration to watch.

Your patience is amazing, Precious. ❤ 3 hours is definitely a good record.

IT'S HARD...... YOU MAKE IT LOOK EASY......GOD BLESS YOU!!!! THE HARD WORK WILL WORK..... BABY GIRL TRYING!!!

My son's on the spectrum and bathtime/hair washing time is a struggle.. he's gotta a little better but it's a struggle to get him to fully sit in the tub and i get nervous. I'm going to have to show him this to see if it helps (he low key has a little crush 😅) . Watching you and the family has helped me not be sooo hard on myself. Continue be ausome mom!

The Good Lord surely Blessed that baby with some hair! She gone be alright and it will get better. She's progressing at her pace 😊

Not all parents deserve kids but this mother deserves a milion❤❤❤😊

Hi my daughter,now 34, is blind and autistic, hair washing was always a major issue.Miko is doing so well and so are you! When we went through a phase of it being what we used to call a screamable offense we were recommended to use hair washing caps that are used for people who could not get in the bath. Not as through as a proper hair wash but good when all else fails. No water involved there is a cleaning agent inside the cap.We used them for a long time, with no adverse effects on her hair or scalp and great when time is short ,brushing was a nightmare we used a hairbrush called a tangle teaser and they worked really well. Just a thought for times when spending a long stressful time,which can be counterproductive, is short. We used them in between the major shampoo routine. I love your blow up bath,l remember having a small paddling pool in the lounge. Keep up the great work ❤❤❤

your gentle patience inspires me to do better as a teacher.

I think it might be a good idea to cut Mikko's hair to a more manageable level. That way wash and brush time might be easier and more comfortable for her too ❤ You are a great mum, very patient and understanding.

She has the sweetest voice! It's so cute! Makes me giggle! Mikko is beautiful!🥰😊 You're doing an awesome job being calm yet direct! These behavior will help her later on in life! Many give in, but that only will cause behavioral issues later on! Well done! You're very inspiring! ❤️👏🏾

You are such a great mom. Her hair is so long and beautiful. God bless your family.

I wish you could see how far YOU have come in the last few years...really...bursting with pride for you Precious...with nothing but love and respect always😊❤❤❤❤

AWESOME JOB MOM!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 2/3 hours is Amazing! My daughter is on the Spectrum as well and we struggle to do her hair too. We have to do her hair in parts. DAY 1:TAKEDOWN, DETANGLE, WASH AND BLOW DRY >>>DAY 2: ACTUALLY DO HER HAIR…I.E… BRAIDS OR WHATEVER PROTECTED STYLE WE DECIDE ON. She dreads wash days and it’s a struggle for sure. She will go two months or more before she will let me get near her head. So, I commend you for your patience because it has to be difficult for someone who is also Neurodivergent. I’m Neurotypical and it’s hard for me. God bless you! Keep up the good work! We love your content because it brings awareness to the world seen through a child’s perspective, as well as a parent’s perspective.

You are an amazing mother. Thank you for for sharing your struggles AND your wins!🙏

Omg you do soo well to make little Miko comfy! I had a suggestion that may cut ur was time down and thats to have her hair sectioned in at least 4 twists before wash day. So regardless of what ever style it was in (fro, puff , twists, braids) spend a day detangling with water and oils as you do when you style her hair, then section into at least 4 twists. Then wash each section one by one, popping them back in to twists after you've rinsed them. Hope that helps, sorry if it doesnt!

Lol the snack sound effects are Too cute

Mikko's hair looks beautiful. Great job momma Patience!!

Wow she is really growing and you are such an amazing Momma..all the patience in the world 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Much love and respect for you, Precious! You're an amazing woman ❤

The process seemed a little easier today. I’m sure we didn’t see it all. I love that you are so patient and loving with Mikko. 💕💕💕

Your patience is everything ❤

You are her Mom for a reason :-) Awesome Mom award goes to you. Miko is adorable.

I just love you guys!❤❤❤

Glad the process has gotten easier for you both!

Amazing work with Mikko’s hair!

Oh my gosh! How didn’t I think of a hair washing shield before now!! This is going to make wash day sooooo much easier with my Isabella! What a wonderful find ❤

You are a very patient mother and a very good one. Kudos to you. You’re an awesome mom.😊

Mikko’s has beautiful hair! Although it’s not easy, it’s a blessing. Good job Mom!

Ohhh Gurl! That is a lot of beautiful hair to wash! ❤

She doing so good!!! Yeah Mikko... great job mamm

Blessings Precious way to go Mikko!!!!!🐥👍🫵

Happy you post you are giving others good instructions how to be patience Great job mom❤

I love that brush. It’s great for detangling hair.

Great job, mom. Her hair looks great, and Mikko is cute taking her doll with her into the tub.

Such a great mom

Try Castor oil shampoo and conditioner. It's great for tangles!!!

Precious, you are an amazing lady and your family is amazing too. Mikko looks adorable.

Girl, I see you and I am right there with you. My little girl is 5 with ASD and she has coily hair. I dread doing her hair as well. Just keep doing the great job that you are, remember to breathe, and give yourself and your little some grace. ( my little montra while I'm doing my littles hair) much love and peace to you all

You both did awesome!!!!!

You have come so far from my first video of yall. It gives me hope with my 3yr autistic boy

I'm tenderheaded and what helped me get through the pain of combing my hair out is kaleidoscope detailer! It cut down the time drastically. BUt I know you get tins of advice. But Chile, bless you for dealing with thick long hair. And your braids are gorgeous by the way.

Awesome job 👏🏾💕

Hey mama 😊 We've been watching your channel for a long time. Im so grateful for you and your content, as you dont find content with black girls at this age. I appreciate you being open and vulnerable with your journey. You're doing such an amazing job. Where did you purchase your tub. My daughter just turned 4 and needs a larger tub as well.

Wow Precious your so patient 😊.

Good job Mommy amd Mikko.

I love Carol's Daughter products, after having COVID, my hair was very thin and weak, the products along with vitamins help to make my hair stronger 💪🏾.

I used to try different brushes and products all the time because my daughter has long very thick curly hair! My faves have been the denman paddle bush and the unbrush!!

I'll say again it is so much easier to tackle her hair if you do not take it all down at once. It is hard to switch if you put it all together in one ponytail. Speaking from experience. Always use sections. At least four. When her hair is all together in a puff. Start by sectioning and detangling first. It can be days before. Actually wash her hair in sections. Meaning taking one section a loose at a time. Wash it, rinse, twist and clip. Then on to the next. Same for conditioner and deep conditioning. Much easier to pause in between if needed. This is also bomb for regular hair combing. First it makes the process quicker. Take one ponytail down at a time. It also helps you not to feel defeated or push yourself. If you need to rush iut the door or quit for the day. Her hair will still be done in ponytails. Braiding vs twisting is your friend. When we had meltdowns. I could simply freshen her hair and brush baby bangs and out the door we went. She has such beautiful hair and it makes a difference when the task is quick & easy.❤ She will get use to the routine after a while. Again try to limit taking all of the hair down at once. From another Ausome Mom. Mikko is doing a Great job while getting her hair done. She is quite the little sweetheart😍 Continue doing and sharing what an Awesome job of gentle parenting you are doing.🤗❤ Best Wishes~

GOD BLESS YOU EACH AND EVERY MINUTE OF YOUR DAY MOM!!!! PHENOMENAL WOMAN! ✨✨💖✨✨

Hey Precious and Mikko! In your previous hair video I made a suggestion to help during wash day. I am super tender headed and I have the same hair type as Mikko with a little more length. The only thing that saves me time, my arms, and back from hurting and less pain... is too do th entire wash day with my hair already sectioned... You should try washing her hair while its already in about 6 jumbo twist and going through each step while its twisted... You will stll clean all strands and avoid all hair being tangle and loose and needing to be combed through each step...

Sweet Mikko, you are such a big girl and a pretty princess!!🎀 Mom, you are the best!🙏🏽💛

My family uses the Aunt Jackie's Knot on my Watch Detangler and it's AMAZING. My youngest sister especially has a sensitive scalp and we've brought her hair back from the worst imaginable tangles to detangled.

Her hair is so beautiful love your beautiful family god bless always ❤❤❤❤

You are so amazing ! God bless you and the entire family…..

Thank you so much ❤

Your bond is so beautiful. I love how you include Mikko in the process. Have you ever considered parting her hair into sections and washing it that way?

God bless your patience

She did well for 1 day with all that hair 🥰

Mikko has lovely hair and your patience is 💯 percent up...u can wash it in sections tho, just a suggestion😊

Beautiful ❤

I have wondered about Carol's daughter products!! I've seen them on Amazon and I've wanted to TRY THAT one but wasn't quite SURE! I think I AM gonna give her a try NOW! MY hair is VERY similar to Mikkos, and when I FIND a product I usually stick with it for YRS!! It's SO HARD to FIND a Great product for curly hair EVEN with as many things as they have, it's STILL A STRUGGLE!! But SEEMS it's MIKKO approved then that's a YES OVER HERE ALSO ❤😂 U are Mikkos BEST friend Mama and I love Ur videos ❤ It's beautiful to see the relationship U two have ❤ On MY way to Amazon to order some New products now 😂 Much love frm the Gulf Coast of Florida 💜🌴💜

That Carols Daughter line is the exact same one I use in my daughter’s hair. It’s so good with her texture too. Have you ever tried a wide tooth comb for the first go at detangling? That’s been the easiest strategy for us. My daughter has from visual appearance a similar texture I think. Loads of hair on their little heads equals lots of work on wash day for sure.

Miko have a lot of pretty hair and she doesn't want you messing with it🤣🤣🤣 I ❤ me some Miko and family ‼️

She's so cuteee🥹

Omg her hair is gorgeous 😊😊❤❤ Mom

I enjoyed watching! One day I would love to know which hair products you use.

My favorite family ❤. Beautiful princess ❤

You are so very good with her, and so patient and gentle, but firm. You're doing perfect, Mama! Thanks for sharing! By the way, I recommend changing that wooden brush out! You are so right about the ends but being right for you! Please check out SHASH. It's a very good (slightly expensive, but she's worth it) German brand. I LOVE mine, absolutely, and I recommend the paddle style, just like your other two brushes. 😊❤

Thats the brush I use the black with slots and it works great with our wavy hair

I've been using paddle brushes for detangling while hair is drenched. It was hard at first because water would get caught under the paddle and it would get moldy 😮. Then I went to vented paddle brushes. And now this new brush with the holes is a game changer! It's so easy. Lots of water and lots of conditioner. Detangling is easy and minimal hair shed. Thick and long hair tip: part hair down the middle, saturate both sides with water, wash, condition and detangle(paddle brush), rinse and keep detangled, braid and let air dry.....another game changer. Lots of water and conditioner prevents snagging while detangling.

The sound effect with the berries 🤣🤣

I just have a question have u ever tried to use the no rinse shampoo. It great for keeping ur hair clean without having to place Mikko in her tub. I also use a spray water bottle it works great.

I have 4c dry hair I swear the unbrush makes my life easier less breakage and no pain at all

That is the same brush for my tender headed grandchild. The black one is my start then I got a grey one same as first but with thick bristles in each arm.

I'm here for it family

Sally beauty supply has a brush, ITS CALLED A WET BRUSH SO GOOD

She has long ans beautiful curls. Any products that you used consistently that helped with that??

Finding a good gel (non-drying) to keep the curls separated after detangling would really help for next wash day🙂❤

I was wondering this may sound strange, but have you thought about putting the little tub into the regular tub

Reminds me of the hairsalon i always had 3ppl at a time doing mu hair because they would say its alot even now in adolescents atleast 2xppl never just one i completely understand mikko texture its BEAUTIFUL with my mums patience it thrived till this day i just couldn't 😅 MOTHER'S ARE MIRACLE WORKERS thank you❤

Do you think this brush will work on mixed hair? My daughter has 3a-3b hair and my sons is 3c-4a but they both get sooo many knots no matter what i do and scream and cry when i have to brush. We have so many different brushes and they all hurt them. Should i try this one? (The blue one)

Heyy Mikko ❤❤ heyy Family ❤️❤️

Have you tried braids and twists and keeping ends trimmed for less tangling

Pretty Girl!!! QUESTIONS PLZ! That was amazing! My son gives me a hard time at different points in the process. His hair is like Mikkos but thinner. I've cut it several times. Only bcuz he's a boy. 😊 anyhow, could use please share where you found that tub and headband protector? I'm not sure if he'll leave it on but it's worth a try. Thank you ❤

Which do you find easier for her hair Carols daughter or beyonce brand.. seemed like she did great with Beyonce brand

Kind patient Mom and Dad Precious child Warm loving household Perfection

You are a great mom and you have the patience of a god! I don’t know if you have ever used dry shampoo on your daughter. It’s great for in between and extended washings. Freshens the hair and neutralizes product buildup. My family and I also have course, curly hair and it has been godsend for us because taking care of all of that hair is not for the weak.

❤ Youre doing a great job Mom! I know you are always looking for ideas. I saw this device and wondered if you and mikko had tried it. Its a hair washing device you put on your sink called shampootime. The yt family the Schollers use it for their little girl. The child lays on their back on a thick pad and it has a holder for a video device above it so they can watch while you wash their hair over the sink. Just suggesting in case it could help. It might b a little easier on both of you if it works. And of course thats if mikko likes it😊

I love your channel and appreciate you sharing your lessons and growth with the world. I tried to like every comment with hair tips that I thought were helpful to easing the hair care process for you both. Some tips that have worked for me: I highly recommend sectioning the hair before washing to ensure every strand is cleansed, even if you have to wet it first, that step will make cleansing, conditioning and detangling a lot easier. I also believe conditioner is your friend and using as much product to help the detangling process is key, I've used Aussie's Miracle Moist conditioner, Tgin Rose water conditioner and leave-in, and even Trader Joe's Tea Tree Conditioner for detangling my 4a and partners 3b/c hair. A nice alternative to the denman brush would be Felicia Leatherwood's Detangler Brush or the Tangle Teezer. I hope this is helpful!

Don't cut her hair!! It's beautiful and your doing an amazing job!!!

This is my little girl's reaction, too. Good job, Mom.

👏🏽 MiKKo!! 😊

The Denman paddle brush without the balls are better than that wooden one. The wooden one is gonna break her hair. The Denman brush is a little expensive but it's gonna be worth it I promise.....Denman Power Paddle Hair Brush for Fast and Comfortable Detangling, Blow Drying and Styling - Combination of D3 Styling Pins & Paddle Brush (amazon). Also Mikkos hair looks to be 3c.
