Dealing with Sensory Issues with Hair

yes! other than dysphoria it's the main reason i cut my hair off

Honestly? A bandana helps me the most with that. That or it is thrown into a bun and I have lots of pins and clips for any parts bothering me. Usually it’s a loose bun but if I feel myself getting sensory overload or getting overwhelmed I immediately tie it all back to avoid that making a meltdown worse.

I also hate hair touching the back of my neck. I always keep it short. Sometimes I'll grow it longer with an undercut, but then I never do anything fun with it and I feel like it's not worth the effort to take care of it.

Ugh, yes. Had short hair for years for this issue. I'm growing it out now, it's just reached past my shoulders. Perfect for winter but I'm dreading summer. Suffered earlier this year and it was fine when tied up. I'd recommend a loose bun and just suffering with the hair up hair down routine
