Does anyone know of a shower gown I could use whilst trying to wash my Mother's hair?

Cut a neck hole in a Hefty bag, the largest size, and tell her it's her little black dress.

I would pay to have my Moms hair washed at a salon every so often. Dry shampoo in between. When Mom had her wound and was bandaged my RN daughter suggested Glad Press and seal to cover the bandage to shower. Sticks to itself and the skin. Worked great. Another thing u could try would be a rain poncho. They are cheap. I would put a towel around her neck to keep water from going inside.

As weird as this is, you can use a long bib. I bought long bibs online which are thick vinyl and waterproof . I was washing my moms hair up in her hoyer one day and slid it around into the sink and it worked like a charm keeping her dry. Once I wrapped her head in a turby twisty towel, I unsnapped her bib and dropped it into the sink keeping her dry. I use chux when I dye my hair and hold them in front of me with a chip clip. It gets really heavy when I wash my hair out but keeps the color of my back. Just a few thoughts,,, good luck.

Love the language variations! Whilst, in California= while.
Walgreens, a chemist= pharmacy or drug store.

Language is important to me because society is rapidly changing the definitions and usage of language, intentionally confusing the meanings.

Then, there is the predictive technology.

I agree with Maggie Marshall, the large trash bag idea. We get blue extra thick bags from smartnfinal bigger than the 30 gal. bags, 45 gal. Cut a hole for the head.

Oh jude, sorry, but I just don't think the inflatable hair shampoo basin will work for your brain transplant.

Send you little beast Ive only just seen that.

A lot of the American English is actually more accurate than the English English - gotten being a perfect example.

Increasingly the word whilst is not being used and pharmacy is becoming more popular with the influx of people from abroad. Nevertheless (another old word) I shall continue to use whilst and chemist. I do say while as in While I was waiting for the taxi to arrive but rarely in Whilst on one hand there is this, on the other hand is a glove!

Frances, try the no rinse shampoos. You can put a towel or protective plastic cover such as those used in hair salons over her shoulders, just in case any of the soap drops off her hair. But the dry shampoo is lathered in, towel dried and combed out. No rinsing required.

These dry washes can also be used in lieu of soap and rinsing, so they substitute for a bath or shower.

I'm assuming you're in England; I don't know the brands available there but here in the states the No Rinse wash is available at drug stores like Walgreen, a fairly common chain drug store.

Rain poncho? I wear one to walk my dog in the rain.

Cut a hole in a plastic drum liner for her head & tape it to her neck when you wash her hair.

How about just a rain poncho?

The easiest and cheapest thing to do is take a lawn plastic heavy duty trash bag for grass clippings and turn it upside down where the seam is and cut a hole in it around the middle. Make it like a half moon but not too deep. turn it right side out and put it over your head. no need to wear anything under it because you can't see thru it so the plastic won't be hot since you won't be wearing it all that long. Just wear it long enough to bathe her and get in the shower with her in a shower chair. you don't have to stand directly under the water either. Just take the shower wand and wet her down completely, hang it up and soap her down quickly everywhere. Then rinse her off and you're done in 10-15 minutes unless you do the hair as well. tell her you will take her somewhere and she needs to be clean and pretty. Most will allow you to clean them up if they think they're going somewhere. once you get her clean, you get her out and dry her off while telling her she's getting a rubdown. she'll feel good when you're finished then just throw the bag away or use it for trash later after it dries. buying a box of 10 or 20 costs about 5-6 bucks and lasts a long time.
