Research reveals key parenting  behaviors occur during hair combing interaction (HCI)  lively verbal interaction, sensitive touch, and  responsiveness to infant cues. This book explores how the  simple routine of combing hair serves as an emotionally  powerful, trauma-informed, culturally valid therapeutic  tool for use by mental health helpers. HCI offers a  low-cost opportunity for IECMH helpers to engage families  and sustain attachment relationships. In this book, case  studies illustrate the use of HCI with diverse families of  color. Each chapter includes questions for reflective  supervision to understand sociocultural factors that may  shape behaviors during HCI.
