Can yous become your incision wet? If someone can assist you lot with the the parts of your pilus that tin be washed I would have them wash with a shampoo that is for stripping production out of your hair ... like a clarifying shampoo, and then put some actually proficient conditioner and leave it sit on in that location for 5 minutes. Distressing it is kind of vague ... I can't think of what the clarifying shampoo is chosen.. I think Neutragena makes ane though. Use some Nexxus conditioner similar humectress that will help and so you can some through the matts while it is on your hair.
I hope you can find someone to help. I don't imagine information technology would be easy navigating around the incision.

comments about No Rinse Shampoo Cap, i ea:
Review: My husband was in the hospital recently and couldn't get out of bed to shower or shave. Nosotros used the shampoo cap, later warming it in the microwave and he felt 100% meliorate! Then I bought six to give to a friend in a remainder habitation because she always hated having the hair dresser give her a shampoo because it caused her to get so cold. The shampoo caps worked not bad and she doesn't heed having her pilus washed anymore! It is a wonderful product, except a niggling pricey for seniors on a budget.

Yep. Suave detangler for kids - one has an octopus (think that's apple, just a very dainty scent fifty-fifty for adults) and one is strawberry. I utilize information technology on my viii twelvemonth old daugher'due south hair which is very thick, very long, tangles like no tomorrow. Her hair is now very porous from swimming every day in the summertime, lots of chlorine damage.
It works amazingly and my girls spray tons of it on their pilus and it doesn't make information technology look greasy. And its inexpensive.
Just have whoever is doing it do a little spray at the ***finish*** of your hair, and comb (not brush) that little section. So move upwardly higher til you get to your scalp.
Don't give up and cut it. You will be able to practise a lot with it once your caput heals up, fifty-fifty if hair doesn't grow back in that place. My mom had huge baldheaded spots (genetics) and was able to put it up and have it really wait quite beautiful.

Brand certain it is okay to even shampoo your caput and if not in that location is a dry out shampoo available for you to use. If you can wash your pilus, how nigh using baby shampoo and conditioner which is very gentle. Endeavour to keep the incision make clean and dry and not leave information technology wet too long. I hope Jelly you lot are having a smoothen recovery and feeling good. Sending hugs to y'all. Dawn

Yes, I can get my head wet but am not able to wash it myself -- I tin can barely stand up.
English, it's odd about that product -- about a month to 6 weeks ago, I was in RiteAid and those shampoo caps were on clearance for about $2.00 each. I picked it up three times and put it down iii times thinking I won't ever need such an item. WRONG!!! lol I hope they're still bachelor 'crusade I'll buy what they accept left, or if not, I'll lodge from drugstore.com.
The conditioner to get out in is a skilful idea too. I have something similar to Wen that I purchased at Sally'south a while agone.
The visiting nurse is due here tomorrow for an assessment of my needs, and so perchance tomorrow my hair volition become unmatted. lol
Thank you all for being so kind.

Paul Mitchell sells a detangling (rinse out) conditioner. If that is as well costly you local beauty products shop (Sally'due south here) sells a generic version. Or y'all could simply get a tiny bottle. It works like a charm. My 3 daughters and I recollect it works great. Amend than anything else. We have long, medium and short hair. 1 extremely kinky, 1 medium kinky and ane little kinky.
