There’s just something about a love interest washing or braiding someone's hair that gets me every single time 🥹

Honorary mention for Deathball by WH Lockwood & TJ Rose. It has a long and sensual hair combing scene 🥹
I want to say one of the Rina Kent books (maybe vow of deception) has hair washing going on but I will have to investigate, it’s going to bother me now 😂


Ooh 👀 Please report back if you find out!
Not me scouring reddit for books with this exact niche trope in them the other day 👀. Perfect timing 🙌.


Hehe nice! I thought about it because of the scene in The Death-Made Prince 😄
I’m glad I found your list! I’ve sorta fallen in love with MMCs washing & brushing the FMC’s hair. I started tagging the books myself! suggestions: False Confidence by Sophie Snow When She Belongs by Ruby Dixon Shadow Heart by Morgan Lee (#2 in a series) A Twist of Luck by Jaymin Eve (also #2 in a series) Eyes of Devious Burgundy by Lacey Lehotzky (this was a spicy hair washing scene)


Thank you so much for the suggestions! I'm hoping to read Eyes of Devious Burgundy soon. And now that you mentioned there’s a spicy hair-washing scene, I’m even more excited 🤭
Havoc Killed Her Alpha by Marie Mackay (he uses his hand to block the water and shampoo from dripping into her eyes 🥹)


That sounds adorable!! 🥹 thank you!!
I’m baaaaack! There is a hair braiding scene in Divine Deception by Elle Mae (#2 of series). Between all the spicy scenes, it was a super sweet moment that I wasn’t expecting! Thought of the list!
(Laughing at myself because I just thought: “does she do spit too?” —you do have the spit list. This is also spitty kitty time)


yay thank you!! and of course I have a spit list 🙂↕️ will add your suggestion there as well!
