Let's go brush (your) hair.

If I want to say "Let's go brush your hair" to my child, how would I change mid-sentence from "let's" to "your"? "Vamos a cepillarse tu pelo" ?? Or would I not use the reflexive in this case? "Vamos a cepillar tu pelo."

If you are going to help her to brush her hair you should say "Vamos a cepillarte el pelo" o if you aren´t going to help her you should say "Vamos, cepillate el pelo" o "Vamos a que te cepilles el pelo" - Jessi1707, Apr 11, 2012

Puedes decir:

Vamos a cepillarte el pelo.

I am not certain but here is my attempt:

Desde el reflexivo se puede utilizar para describir las acciones de su propia persona, no recomendamos que utilice el reflexivo porque la acción es el de cepillar el cabello de su hijo y no el suyo propio.

Por favor, corrija mi español.

Since the reflexive can be used to describe actions on your own person, I would suggest not using the reflexive because the action is that of brushing your child's hair and not your own.
