Hello! I Need Some Advise. My Son Is 18 And Has No Problem With Good Daily Hygiene Except He Refuses To Wash His Hair 🫤 Any Ideas To Help?

He has high functioning autism and attends college. I've gone over all the reasons why it's important to keep his hair and scalp clean but I'm lucky if I can get him to shampoo his hair every two weeks or so....Has anyone had this issue and has any advise?

I used the Garnier kind really often when I broke my ankle 3 years ago. It worked a lot better than I expected.

Have you thought about dry shampoo?
