A friend was telling me that there are hairbrushes that are ideal for kids with sensory issues. My daughter hates the sight of her brush. It doesn’t matter how slowly and gently I brush her hair, she ends up in tears. #dearugly

That’s right! The founders of Ugly Swan designed a range of brushes that were gentle enough to use on the sensitive scalps of children with sensory issues. The natural boar bristles are very soft against the scalp. But kids often have knotty bed heads so soft hand-dipped pins are used in combination with the boar bristles to detangle the hair very gently without the tears. We’ve heard many parents say an Ugly Swan hairbrush has made a huge difference to their mornings because their child is no long dreading having their hair brushed.
