Playing with, stroking, or twirling hair is a common self-soothing behavior. The headband provides an elevated alternative to this type of coping while protecting your hair from being ruined by prolonged, repetitive touch. This project aims to increase the ability to soothe oneself by offering different tactile experiences coupled with an audible output that adapts to your interaction.
The headband can be designed in different ways and a variety of tactile experiences can be de- and attached to match the headband to your own personal style. It allows you to better your self-soothing behaviour in the form of an accessory that can be worn in your everyday life.
