overcoming hairdryer fear

When Hair Drying Feels Scary

For some children the sound, sensation or unfamiliar airflow of hair drying can feel overwhelming.

If your child is frightened of hair drying, you're certainly not alone. AirHeads was designed to support hair drying in children with sensory sensitivities. 

Start before you switch it on

Start by taking the pressure off. The first goal isn't to dry your child's hair, it's to help them feel comfortable.

Let them explore the AirHeads dryer while it's switched off. Hold it together and let them discover that it's friendly, lightweight and designed just for them.

When they're ready, switch on the Gentle Breeze setting from a distance so they can become familiar with the quiet sound and gentle airflow. They might prefer to feel the airflow on their hands before trying it on their hair.

Some children will be ready the very first evening. Others may take a little longer. Every child is different, so follow their lead and celebrate each small step. Confidence grows over time, and before long, hair drying can become another calm, cosy part of the bedtime routine.

A gentler introduction

The AirHeads dryer includes a quiet Gentle Breeze setting designed to introduce children to hair drying gradually.

Combined with lower airflow, gentle warmth and lightweight handling, many families find it helps create a calmer first experience.
