Hi. My mother, who is 97yrs young and has mixed dementia, has her hair done every week by a qualified mobile hairdresser.
In the last few months mother’s anxiety levels increase during and after having her hair done. Can end up being quite challenging. We don’t know why. Has anyone experienced this? Do you think it’s the washing of hair, putting rollers in or the hairdryer?
The hairdresser works in a care home and is used to working with people with dementia.
Mother used to love having her hair done, made her feel good.
I appreciate any advice. Thank you
