NHS Shower Cap .

[Beachballs]

Has anyone tried this cap for hair washing ? If so , how did you get on ? Have long hair and hoping this will work , as oxygen levels fall on any slight exertion, but sadly unable to tolerate a traditional hair wash now . Would appreciate any comments. Thanks.

Hi Beach balls I often use them as I have the same problem. I've always found them to be alright. Hope this helps, have a good evening and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx 🌹

As a student with a freezing bathroom my daughter used to use a dry shampoo and found it brilliant, she had long thick hair then.

-9carole describes it well ! Looking forward to trying them, I definitely agree with simplifying things!!x

[CDPO16 in reply to corriena]

They are commercially sold shampoo caps rather than NHS shower cap. Amazon sell them as do E Bay, The Complete Care Shop and Boots chemist.

Hi yes . When I was in hospital a nurse told me about them. Very good. Just put them in Microwave for a couple of seconds. Put on head a rub. No need to rinse. You can get them on Amazon. Good luck.

[Beachballs in reply to _9carole]

Ahh thanks, they should be here today , looking forward to trying them out !!

[madonbrew in reply to _9carole]

That’s a really good idea isn’t it! I was wondering what one was too!!

[Beachballs in reply to madonbrew]

Yes , never thought I would be in this position , it’s been a really difficult time since Xmas , think I am just coming out the other end now. Hope you are ok . X

I was given a shampoo shower cap in hospital. Sadly I hated it. It smelled horrible. I hate dirty hair but hated the cap more. Other patients loved them.

[Beachballs in reply to wheezyof]

Interesting, they haven’t arrived yet, but really keen to try them.

In ICU I was given a shower cap hair wash. As I already had a temperature and had to have lots of fans to cool me I found it too hot. I'm sure it would be fine if your temperature is ok.

[Beachballs in reply to Karenanne61]

Yes , can see what you are saying, don’t think I would have been too fussed about my hair if I was in ICU and had a temperature!

[Karenanne61 in reply to Beachballs]

To be honest I wasn't but the nurses were lovely and thought a bit of pampering, even though I was lying down, would help to relax me.

[Beachballs in reply to Karenanne61]

Ahh ! Sounds like they really went the extra mile for you , how lovely!

[Karenanne61 in reply to Beachballs]

They were amazing! Not only did they help pull me through with their medical knowledge and expertise but were so kind and thoughtful.

Thank you, Beachballs for posting this and everyone for your feedback. These caps sound really useful for people with little energy and for husbands who won't wash their hair. Imagine me sneaking up behind him when he's engrossed in his laptop, whipping off his glasses and putting it on his head. Hee, Hee.😁😂🤣

[Beachballs in reply to Alberta56]

😂😂 !! That’s so funny!! Good luck !
