[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would it help if you washed it for her in a sink vs the shower? Amazon has a bunch of options for “portable salon” set ups. [/quote]

Thanks!  I was reluctant to say this on DCUM because I was afraid to get blasted, but I give her a bath once a week. I know she's old for it, and it's one of the (many) things I feel I'm probably doing wrong, but she likes it and we have our best conversations at bath time, so her hair gets really clean once a week.[/quote]

If you both like it, and it works then she's not too old.  It sounds like a lovely thing to do for her.

I have been in situations where I need to help a kid wash their hair, and I don't have a shower set up, and don't want to be helping them when they are unclothed (think kid with disability at sleep away camp kind of situation).  One thing that works is to dilute shampoo a lot, put it in a spray bottle, and comb it through, and then the kid hops in the shower to rinse it out.    I wonder if something like that could work?  Not to replace the bath, but for other nights, or if something comes up midweek where you need it clean?

I have no experience with dry shampoo so I can't help there. [/quote]
