Make-shift shampoo bowl?

[bee]

Hi, ladies! I've been having trouble washing my daughters' hair lately. They are both taller than I am and lately, they've been complaining about having to hold their heads down in the kitchen sink, to get their hair washed.
Can any of you tell me if there is a product out there, that braces the neck and allows the hair to be washed sitting down, instead of standing up?
Something like that would be ingeniuos! Should I patent this idea? Hopefully, someone has already thought of this and has it available for purchase.

There are those funnel things that salons often use on elderly women. It's like a open showercap that has a funnel that flows the water and shampoo into the sink allowing the person to sit upright. Or you can have them lay on an ironing board like I did when I was little! lol I moreso suggest the former, not the latter.

Find a store that sells home medical supplies. A friend of mine broke her leg and had to buy a tray thingy so her husband could shampoo her hair.

Carol Wright Grifts has one in the Dr. Leonard's catalog for $24.99 plus shipping and handling.

I have one of these. Works very well. Check with your local medical supply stores - they should be able to get one for you. I think I paid about $40 for mine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. And my daughter thanks you too.

ETA: The shower cap funnel things don't work on a little kid's head. I laughed at that thing but my daughter didn't think it was too funny and neither did the floor.

Or you and those girls throw on some swim suits and get in the shower and go for it

Oh my goodness! SG125, I could kiss you! My girls are going to be so happy when I get ready to wash their hair this weekend and whip this baby out!
It had been a few days since I checked out the site and I'm so glad I did it before this long Spring Break.
Thanks again, SG125, and to all the ladies, w/your wonderful suggestions.
BTW, Supergirl, my girls think they are too big for everything (14 and 12)! I'm barely getting good night kisses anymore
