Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I wash my hair in bed every day and have found it much easier on me than showering. I have to replace my inflatable hair washer thingy (no idea what to call it!) every now and then, as it tends to get holes. But yeah, I like it. I've heard that the no-rinse products aren't so good for long hair on a regular basis, though they're better than nothing in some circumstances. ~e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know > ive seen these things but now cant seem to find them! Oh my gosh, I used to get my hair washed the same way when I was younger, until I grew too long for the countertop. It's amazing what you forget as you age. Anyway, I have been using those aluminum roasting pans for years now, the kind you can buy almost anywhere for under a couple bucks. Simply cut the bottom out of one end of it, the other end can be shaped to cradle your head/neck, and the entire pan is just long enough to extend from the back of the wheelchair to the sink. To get my hair wet, we typically use a very large cup, like 32 ounces, or a standard beverage pitcher to avoid having to refill/rinse a thousand times. I have tried so many different options, sometimes spending way too much money, and this has worked the best through the years. Amy M.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi, I've taken a bath once and showered once since my implant. Admittedly, when I washed my hair, I was a little tentative and tried not to wet the side of where the surgery took place too much. We usually just put the shampoo on top of our heads and let it flow from there anyway. Should I continue to be tentative on not wetting that side too much or what ? And for how long ? Thanks !

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hello Dan, congratulations on your successful surgery. You got there :-) I was told NOT to wash my hair for a week after the surgery.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Shame on you (english born)Ted,we poms now all own baths or showers, (and most of us use them). Having to go to the public baths, or drag in the tin bath once a week is right out of fashion. Moreover,since none of us are on tanked water,and god usually supplies our rain to the point of excess,we dont have to feel morally obliged to shower with a 2 minute timer running! david the pom > > > > > I've taken a bath once and showered once since my implant. > > > > Me too.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi I was told by my surgeon to try and keep the incision dry for at least 10 days and if I did get it wet, to just pat it dry (don't rub). Hubby helped me wash my hair about every three days after surgery and we did use a medicated shampoo. The shampoo was something the Dr. ask me to use for a week or so before the surgery just to keep the risk of infection down after surgery so we used it after the surgery, too for that reason.
