It took us 4 DAYS to do Mikko's hair!!!!

- Within the last year alone, Mikko's hair has grown so much! Though I AM happy about that, it has been a real challenge to maintain her hair at the length it is now; especially ever since she's been avoiding water. The first two days were a near mess, but we were able to find some products to help make things easier-going.

Mikko has the prettiest hair and she is ALL of us getting her hair dried. Bless her sweetness.
My son has long curly hair, that he insists he wants to stay on his head, and he acts like I'm killing him combing it. He's mixed so it's not that bad. All I have to do is spritz it, comb some leave in conditioner, and moisturizer, and dry it just a little if I have to wet it to work the conditioner in. The crown of his head does not like to receive moisture. But anyway, yeah, he acts like I'm killing him. Combing the hair on his head that he insists on keeping 😅
She is just a angel
@@franny5295 Even if he wasn't mixed it still shouldn't be "that bad" if one isn't yanking a comb through the hair.
Why not cut her hair short
? Is this long hair worth the suffering?
Who s obsession is it: Miko s or Mom s? Sorry just s thougt not to be nasty.
Imagine going through emotional trauma , then someone forcing more trauma on you - that’s what hair washing does to kids with autism or SPD it causes extreme pain in their brain - imagine your head pounding like it’s going to burst and I keep banging your head more saying just put up with it. So every parent with a child with autism to SPD or other difficulties - have no choice but to work differently at a slower pace and be gentle in these kids, yes it’s difficult, and time consuming and frustrating - but we don’t want our children damaged for life. Please understand that’s why we call them differently abled in the first place
I think you two are fantastic parents and Mikko's hair is beautiful.
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 😊
Main and tail detangler is the life!!! It works wonders on my 4C hair.
I hope she sees this
THIS IS THE PERFECT CONTENT!!! I'M A STYLIST AS WELL FOR OVER 25 YEARS. I DO THE EXACT SAME THINGS. BUT THE BUGGED OF THOSE IS STOP LETTING THE CHILD CONTROL THE SITUATION, AS WELL AS SITTING HER IN A HIGH CHAIR. PRODUCT USAGE IS IMPORTANT BUT SO IS ESTABLISHING CONTROL OF THE SITUATION. GENTLE BUT FIRM !!
Actually the hi-chair is a great idea!!! She such a little sweetheart❤
Ive always said she has the prettiest hair I've ever seen. She's such a beautiful little girl❤
Mikko is Gorgeous💖
Mikko Is Eating, Yet Paying Attention To Every Har Tool. She Is Very Intelligent!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😮😅
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❤
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.
I was gonna suggest this too❤
Washing your hair in twists is not something you should be doing on a regular basis as you are not getting the inner strands, thats unhygienic. Hair needs to be down and free when washing.
@@kleedasantos3236 Absolutely not true at all. Just as much soap and water can run through the hair in twists as if the hair was loose if you do it properly. This is common practice among naturals with way kinkier hair than hers. I guess you're one of those people who think locs are dirty.
@@catchyusername3083no, I don't think locs are dirty. Locs are locked all the time, the inside strands aren't getting dirty. Free hair on the other hand is constantly getting dust, debris, etc in it and so it needs to be Washed. If you twist the hair you're trapping all the dirty strands in the middle. Some hair types depending on porosity can get wet all the way through, but others can NOT. And even the hair that can is still not being cleansed 100%.
@@catchyusername3083I know because I have tried it on my own hair.
Amazing parents, Chris and Precious with an equally amazing little girl, Mikko. God bless you.
Thank you Glenn ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is she saying “I’m pretty” 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 OMG!!!! Yup I just started crying!!!
That’s what I heard too 🥰
I heard it too! Twice right?! Awesome!
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.
Yes that helps. I use to do that when my daughter was younger
Precious LOVES combing Mikkos hair. She uses many products and does back to back days handling it and puts in many braids.
You both deserve mother and father patience badges, this channel is named so appropriately 🥰
Absolutely agree ❤️❤️
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.
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!!!!🥰
Mikko's face in the beginning! She knew something was about to go down.
I admire the way you both work really well together, and how both understand and patiencely cater to her needs. ❤️
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 ♡
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!🙏🇯🇲❤
Meiko is absolutely adorable, and you and Chris work beautifully together. You all are doing amazing.
Mikko's hair is gorgeous! ❤
It really is! Her hair is so thick and pretty✨
She is so precious, she sucks both thumbs.❤❤I would have love to had these parenting skills. The patience, the care, the tenderness, the gentle touch of both parents. This little lady will do GREAT in this world. And even thou all kids are different, I think y’all can actually start a HOW TO PARENT book❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Thank you so much
I love the tag team action and she gets double the affection when it hurts. Miko you’re so blessed.
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
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.
Precious you and your husband did a great job. Little Miko also helped. Team work at its finest!!!!!❤
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! ❤❤❤
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. 😍🥰🥰🖤💚❣️😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!
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. ❤❤❤
Your patience and kindness are such an inspiration. You have a beautiful family. Sending love from Illinois.
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
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 ❤️❤️❤️
Does everyone suffer from something nowadays? Y'all just be making up new syndromes just to be a victim and gain some type of attention
You have the patience and care of saints. I commend your teamwork 👏
Such a beautiful child and family. I'm praying for you. You and your husband are doing a fantastic job!
Awww thank you so much ❤️🥰❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋❤️❤️💋❤️💋
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
I totally respect and appreciate that you keep her groomed so well😊even with the sensory issues
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!
I too go through this with my daughter. We struggle a lot. Thanks so much for the video
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 💖
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
Her hair is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!
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. ❤❤❤❤
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 💛💛💛
Amazing parents. Love how Chris is actually involved.
Wonderful mother and precious Mikko ❤
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
She is so pretty and smart! And you are a Great mum!! With a capital G!!
She’s so beautiful
Being disabled is not a ticket to doing anything that you please!!! Discipline is vital!!
okay but if something is triggering you or hurting you, won't you react? Trying to be respectful, all I am saying is that in this video something or might even be the water is triggering Miko, and also having autism makes her see or say things differently, remember she is also a toddler, so a lot of challenges are going on all at once! Which is also hard on Miko as she doesn't feel comfortable, the best thing to do in that situation is calm her down so in future she will think that whatever triggered her is nothing to be scared of the disciplining should get stricter when she is in skl because of the rules they have. I hope you understood!☺
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 an amazing Mother!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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
They make bigger ones- even big enough ones for a grown up! I saw some recently on wayfair💜
You do an amazing job. Patience is a virtue. God bless you all. I hope you get your "me time" as well.❤
Great job Mikko, mommy and daddy! You're a wonderful team. Blessings 💛
I luv how patient mama and dad are with princess ❤❤❤
Good to see her eating 😁
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You both needed a break. You are the best!
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 ❤🙏
Mikko is precious! ❤thanks for sharing here with us!! ❤
Mikko is so adorable she will over come this milestone
I love that you all are working as a team. Yeah Team Mikko! 🥰🥰🥰
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.
Yep i agree with you. Because they should've had a routine with her from the time they brought her home from the hospital. And set boundaries for her from infancy. Then they wouldn't have such a difficult time with her now.
BINGO!!! Autistic or not, BOUNDARIES ARE NECESSARY!!! She acts out because she knows they're going to coddle her and give in to. All that body throwing and tantruming, and outright misbehaving is because there's no discipline. As long as she is controlling the situation and they're doing what she wants she's fine.... she had to learn there are things that have to be done and in not waiting months to do then.
Thats a very bright kid. I agree. She has learned "if I scream, i get hugs and cuddles. If I scream super super loud, i get all that plus candy. Yayy"
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.
I agree with what the haír dresser said, don't allow her to control the situation, put her in a high chair, and while your doing her hair give her love and explain that this has to be done. Allowing her to control the situation, she knows she can do whatever she wants to stop you from finishing her hair, never let a child control you or any situation she has autism and that can be trouble.
Bumping this up
I agree. Some of those "episodes" was a child being a child. Matter of fact I pulled some of them myself. Lol #hotcombememeories
If you’re autistic, you’ll understand that while yes, she can learn to be compliant, but at what expense to her nervous system? I was diagnosed at 39 and I have so many issues because I’ve been conditioned to ignore my own needs. Now, I struggle with everything because my central nervous system is beyond taxed. I struggle to ask my BF to stop whistling to this day. He finally realized that I put in noise cancelling earphones often because the whistling is literally painful to me, which I know sounds crazy.
If the child has a complete melt from being in pain over their hair, THAT is real trouble. For the child and parent. A child is not "controlling" a situation if the parent is finding something that works for them while teach them tolerance it's a learning experience for everyone. It's not a one size fits all
Try using a shampoo that doesn’t suds a lot and try something with a spray nozzle that u control to wet her hair. It could be the sound of the water or the pressure. Ur an amazing mom keep up the great work. Oh and dad is great too 🥰🥰🥰
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 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.
Awww this was so beautiful to watch! Great job Mikko's mom🥺🤍
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
I love the team work 💪🏽. She has the most beautiful ,healthy hair.
The way she kept looking back at you after y’all washed her hair and you were doing the ponytails had me 😂😂…she was over aware what you were trying to grab 😂😂😂
Started watching your channel not long ago and I was concerned about my son possibly being on the spectrum. He was diagnosed on Monday, but this reminds me of when I have to cut my son's hair. It takes us 2-3 days.
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.
My son has very similar hair to hers. At age 2 he didnt let me do his hair. I Couldnt wash it and took months at a time before i could. Until age 3 he lets me now comb brush and wash his hair. I know the frustration and patience needed to complete this task. Keep up the good work. 👍
We have some of the same issues with my granddaughter, her hair is thick and mid back lenght as well. To make life easier for all and especially my gd her ends are clipped often( less tangles n split ends) and it’s cut to about an inch below shoulder! It much more manageable and it blow dries quick and there’s a lot less crying, running away and most of all it takes less than 30 minutes as opposed to 3-4 hours! Hope this helps 🙏🏽💕
Wow. 😯 This is A LOT of work! I always hear about how special and delicate black peoples hair is but this video really put it into perspective. It makes me thankful to have easy, thin, straight hair because I know doing all this to my hair would be too stressful for me.
She loves that brush. I think because it smoothing the soft of it is nice💕💕💕
This is a whole lot of work! You guys are so patient ❤
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 ❤
Man, this requires a lot of patience. God bless you all! ❤️
Her hair is so beautiful. My daughter had long hair for years. She wanted it long like a Disney princess. Combing it out & styling it were a nightmare with her sensory issues too. We finally decided all the battles were just too draining on top of everything else we had to handle. She initially didn't want it cut shorter, but once she realized how much lighter it felt & that it was still feminine, she didn't mind it. It didn't stop her sensory issues, but did make shampoos & styling quicker & less traumatic for us all.
I think it's important for parents to respect their child's wishes as much as they can. We held off for a long time because of my daughter's preference. Later I came to realize that it was partially my preference too. She had beautiful curly hair that people gave compliments on everywhere we went. She didn't get a lot of positive attention for other things & I didn't want to take that away from her.
If I had to do it over again, I'd have had it cut sooner. The battles were taking too much time & draining us of energy we needed to tackle more important things. And we liked each other more of the time too ...
While that is our story, every family has to decide these things for themselves. I'm so grateful for this channel. It helps people who may have good hearts but lack personal experience get an idea of how complicated things can be.
I admire your commitment to doing all you can do for your child. Every time things got so bad that I totally lost hope, I told myself that I had to keep holding on until we hit the next stage of her development. Sometimes it was a long time before things got better, but they always did. Hope things get better for you soon! 🙏
What a beautiful angel. You are such a patient and gentle mommy. 🙏❤️
Mikkos hair is amazing. What wonderful parents she has, lovely family ❤❤❤
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😔
ruclips.net/user/shortszYijWCm0ozA?si=QKxsGFE70jAjw5wD
Hope you all continue to find a beautiful way and carve a bright path for her to live in.
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! ❤
Mikko has beautiful hair. You are so patient with her.
Oh my goodness!!!! Precious, she is precious!!!!
Mikko and her hair are stunning❤😊
She looks like she loves it mama! My daughter has similar hair and I have to stop to give many hugs and you said it…. Take your time! You can’t rush this process… I also use a hair dryer paddle brush made by revlon that my daughter allows me to use to help dry her hair.
She melts my heart ❤️ Beautiful Girl with beautiful parents ❤
Amazing how you wash her gorgeous hair ❤
You're such amazing attentive parents ❤ bless you both 💖
She has think adorable hair and she seems tender headed just like me! Ive learned to do the following: i detangle first too. I section, then saturate my hair with a lotta water and add a lotta (!) conditioner. Let creamy conditioner be your friend. Use gobs of it! It softens and helps detangle. After i detangle section by section, twisting after each section’s detangled. After my whole head is sectioned and detangled (btw, i twist ends around my finger onstead of rubber bands, if my ends are clipped and not knotty, that hold), i shampoo scalp with twists still installed. I shampoo twice and slather more conditioner. I put bag on my head for 20 -30 mins for conditioner to absorb, then rinse, with twists still installed. Sometimes i then apply leave in conditioner. If i blow dry, i take down one section at a time. Leaving twists in, slatering in conditioner and clipping my ends as necessary has allowed me to manage i thick hair even as a tender headed girl!! Its worth a try
I raised 5 daughters and 4 sons. I have 1 daughter who is probably on the spectrum but not diagnosed as well as a granddaughter who is on the autistic spectrum undiagnosed. When my daughters were young, I kept their hair in braids and cornrows. It minimized daily time maintaining and grooming their hair. I homeschooled then, so time was precious. I kept it braided with beads and sometimes shells for as long as the style looked neat (2 weeks), and then I would have a wash and condition day, usually on the weekend. I also would do my grandbaby's hair, and I would usually braid her hair after I fed her. I would put a pillow on my lap to lay her down for a nap while I braided her hair, and I would put on a learning program to help relax her (PBS). I would always wash her hair in the tub and put a conditioner on her hair to keep it from tangling. I gave her 1st set of braidlocs when she was 2.5 and then another new set at 5. I say this because much of what Mikko does reminds me of my grandbaby when she was her age, and with nurturing, patience, and constant routine and of course learning her language of communicating, she has progressed tremendously❤ Keep up the good work 👏 parents, take your time and get all the helpful support you can find, it will pay off❤ Blessings to you and your family. Thanks for sharing part of your life with the YT community. It is needed.❤
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. ❤
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, you did such a great job!!! ❤❤
At 18:11 it sounds like she’s saying “I did” or “again” so precious hearing her little voice!
Mikko is such a lucky girl to have you both ❤
lol Mikko’s face when you handed her back to the juice to see if it was safe 😂😂😂❤
It’s totally gorgeous! You all did a great job! Mikko have wonderful parents. God Bless!
