Help me with the logistics of using prescription shampoo

[Anonymous]

My instructions were to wet my head, put the shampoo on, and then let it sit for 15-20 minutes before washing it out. I have a tiny bathroom with a tiny sink, and tiny stall shower.

How do I wet my head without being in the shower? My sink is too small to stick my head under the faucet. If I stand outside my shower and stick my head under the spray, the water will drop down and my bathroom floor will be a huge, wet mess. How do I get the shampoo on my scalp without it dripping everywhere? Do I just stand in the bathroom naked for 15 minutes holding a towel to catch the drips? HELP!

A few ideas - my shampoos used to require only 5 or 10 mins on, so I'd get in and do everything else - and then rinse at the bitter end of the shower. Could you try a bath? Put it on at the beginning and luxuriate for 15 mins - final idea - turn on shower - stick head under and get it wet - put on shampoo and then come back and shower 15 mins later.

I almost feel like you didn't read my post barely at all. I have a shower stall, not a bathtub, so no, I can't take a bath. Normally, I get in the shower, wash my hair, put the conditioner on, and let the conditioner "sit" while I wash my body. So I could put the shampoo on and let THAT sit while I wash my body, but that won't take me even five minutes, let alone 15-20. And as I said in my OP, I am concerned about creating a huge mess on the floor by sticking my head into the shower stall under the spray to wet my head, plus that still doesn't address having water (and then shampoo) dripping down all over. Ugh, I want to cry.

This snotty response make me think you just aren't the type of person I would like to try and help. Good luck.

Put your head over the sink or in the shower stall. pour water over your hair to wet it using a cup or scoop like device. Put shampoo on. Wait. Rinse your hair when you get in the shower.

Put a chair in the bathroom or put the toilet seat lid down. Get a book.

Get in the shower, wet your head and put shampoo on.

Get out of shower, wrap in a towel, sit on chair or toilet and wait.

Get in and rinse.

Wrap your hair up in a towel after the shampoo is in and another towel or robe for your body? Then get back in to rinse off? or use a shower cap?

Is this really that hard to figure out? And I don't get why you are so upset about it. You must have trouble with many things in life.
