Please do it the way you usually do.
Gesture & etiquette
Show the comb or brush before beginning. Work gently, starting from the front and working toward the back. Have a mirror available so the senior can see and guide the process. Comment naturally: 'Kirei ni narimashita ne' (Looking lovely).
Asking how the senior wants their hair styled, rather than deciding for them, preserves personal agency and dignity. Hair and appearance are deeply tied to identity and self-worth. Taking care over grooming — even for a quiet day at home — signals that the senior's self-presentation matters.
