Help with a project for a course
I’m a possible product design student and I’m in a course right now where I have come up with an idea for a hair protector for neurodivergent people with stims like hair pulling, tugging or twirling which can impede focus and cause bald spots
It’s a circular silk cap that goes over the bun/ ponytail and in cases of short hair a larger version to go over the head. And it gathers with a furry thread that passes through the outer border
It has faux fur for the stim of hair but its main replacement for the stim is that the threads used to gather it have furry stress balls or if the stim is tugging hair then slightly rubbery spiked balls for pain stimulation that detach and reattach with magnetic closure and if you do not want the sensation of the dangling threads you can detatch the stress balls and tuck the threads into the cap
I may add a picture in a while but currently I am working on a visual depiction of it.
