How to use a shampoo cap


Shampoo caps are a fantastic accessory for people who aren’t too mobile anymore. Getting to the shower or bath isn’t always easy for everyone. But with a good shampoo cap, you can cut out all the hard work and still have a luxurious and clean head of hair. 
 
Alternatively, shampoo caps are amazing for festivals, campers, or anyone on the go who doesn’t have access to hair-cleaning facilities. They’re designed with simplicity in mind, for a quick and easy cleansing experience. 

How to use a Vivactive Shampoo Cap

Shampoo caps are really easy to use, whether you’re applying it yourself or to someone else. You simply remove the cap from the packaging and then pop it over your head. Make sure you get as much hair as you can inside the cap in order to get the best results. 

Once you’re happy with how it’s sat on your head, you can begin to massage in the formula. Gently massage the head area for a few minutes or until you feel the formula has been fully applied. When you’re finished, remove the cap, dry your hair with a towel and voila! You can then enjoy the rest of your day confident in the fact that your hair is clean and cared for.

The increase formula means you get a complete wash. Achieve cleaner and better-conditioned hair, without the big price tag.

 

Quick and easy

If you’re disabled or looking after someone, getting into the bath or shower to wash your hair can be difficult. What’s the alternative? Holding your head over the sink?

The Vivactive Shampoo Cap takes away all of this effort with a clean and thorough washing experience. In just three minutes, you can shampoo and condition your hair without any need for washing or rinsing. It’s an ideal choice for hospital patients, elderly people, people experiencing dementia, or just about anyone who finds it difficult to use regular washing facilities. 

 

A shampoo cap for all types of hair

Long hair, short hair, thick hair, thin hair, we have you covered. We understand that different hair types have different needs when it comes to cleaning. They’re usable straight from the packet with no prep required. If you’re not keen on a cold wash, these caps are also microwaveable for a warm, luxurious experience. Simply pop them in the microwave for 20 seconds (adjust according to your desired temperature) then it’s ready to use.

How to use a shampoo cap while performing a bed bath

Shampoo caps are commonly used when giving someone a bed bath so it’s probably a good idea for us to talk about how to perform one. A bed bath is a term used to describe the act of cleaning someone in a bed or chair. This is usually performed if there is limited access to water, or if the person is immobile, a patient or in care settings.
 
When giving a bed bath, make sure the person is securely in their bed or chair. You want to make sure they’re not going to fall if you need to step away for any reason. It’s probably best to start from the head down, so start the bed bath process with the shampoo cap.
 
Once the hair is clean and fresh, you can move on to the body itself. Start by getting a wet cloth, or better yet, some XXL cleansing wipes. Using the cloth or wipe, begin to clean the face, neck, and ears.
 
You might find it easier to clean one side of the body from head to toe, and then repeat the process on the other side. Make sure you get into any folds or wrinkles as you go. Start with the shoulder, upper body, arm, and hand, then move to the hip, legs, and feet. Once everything is clean, make sure you pat dry each area, you don’t want to leave any moisture unchecked.
 
Use a separate wipe for the genital area. For women, clean from front to back. For men, wash around the testicles and clean between the buttocks by rolling the person onto their side if needed.
