Frequently Asked Questions
What are hair washing aids?
Inventive equipment to help with the hair washing routine, usually for use away from the bathroom.
Who uses special aids to wash their hair?
People with mobility issues may not be able to wash their hair in the usual way.
They may need assistance or be unable to make the trip to and from the bathroom.
Is it possible to wash hair without using water?
Yes, there are methods to keep hair clean without running water.
Specially designed shampoo can be massaged through the hair and then dried off.
Sometimes a cap is used which contains the shampoo, which is again massaged into the hair before the cap is removed and the hair dried.
Can my hair be washed without leaving bed?
The no-rinse shampoo is one method of washing your hair without leaving bed, but you might also consider a portable hair washing basin.
These have a cut-out for the neck, allowing the user to lie back on a flat surface, with their head in the basin as they face upwards.
Prior to use, the basin is filled with water. If you have a helper, they can wash your hair as you lie back.
Are inflatable hair washing bowls available?
Yes, these popular devices can be orally inflated and create an excellent portable bowl for hair washing purposes.
Again, they have a cut-out section which enables the head to rest and the head to slot in, with the back of it resting in the water.
Are there portable water supplies to wash hair in bed?
Portable water bags with a narrow hose outlet are available.
They are hung ‘drip-style’ at a height above that of the shower basin, providing some gravity driven pressure for the water to flow out.
This piece of equipment is ideal for use in combination with a portable inflatable hair washing basin.
What is a hair washing tray?
Plastic trays designed to make it easier to wash hair using a conventional sink.
A hair washing tray fits beneath the person’s head and neck as they lie back.
They have a wider section at the head end, along with a cut-out for the neck to rest.
The moulded plastic tray narrows as it slopes down into the sink, with raised edges safely channeling the water.
I can’t reach up to my head - are there long-handled tools to help keep my hair clean?
Many elderly people or others with compromised physical mobility find it difficult to reach certain parts of the body.
This can mean washing and hygiene routines become more of a challenge.
Simply reaching one’s head to wash hair effectively is one such common problem.
Luckily there are long handled hair washing aids to help.
These have a contoured long handle, attached to a head with protruding plastic nodules.
The nodules enable the user to effectively massage the scalp and hair.
