Has anyone found a reasonable way to wash a mostly bed bound person's hair with shampoo and water? I have tried the shampoo caps and they don't really 'wash' the hair properly. I have also tried the flannel wash, wetting, shampooing, and then rinsing with a damp flannel, but all the rubbing resulted in a lot of hair loss, so I stopped that. Has anyone tried some other way, like lifting back, laying out towels and then washing normally over a bowl? I saw a small inflatable 'bowl' somewhere recently on line and thought that might work as it's soft to lean on, but it might collapse, flooding the bed!
Mum has had a good 8 months or so of 'improvement' after her stroke so I have been able to lean her over the bath in the wheelchair to wash her hair, but we are moving to more time in bed now due to increased weakness. I know a nice hair do is not a priority now, but I'd love to be able to wash it properly now and again.
