Gesture & etiquette
Sit at their height, mirror visible to them so they can see the process. Comb gently with wide-tooth comb. Hand them the mirror when finished — let them confirm satisfaction.
Daily hair grooming is part of dignified senior care — neat hair affects self-image and visitor interactions. Ask preference rather than assuming ('いつも通り' usual style is fine). Use a wide-tooth comb, gentle strokes from ends to roots to prevent breakage. If they want a special style (visitor day, family event), allow extra time and offer hairspray or pins.
