Does anyone use a hairwashing head ring thing?

[LeoTheLateBloomer]

I think that's the technical term.

DD and I need help with hair washing and I've decided this is the only thing that will work. I found one on amazon but several reviews said it was too small for their toddlers and since DD is 3, I doubt it's worth getting.

So can anyone recommend anything wonderful that works?

TIA

It depends why you need it. We use a special hair washing scoop with a handle and a rubberised edge, which you lean against the child's forehead as you pour, so the water doesn't go in their eyes. They do them in Boots or Jojo. I'll try to link to one for you.

The hair washing scoop jug above or a shower stuck to the taps are best, with a flannel over the eyes for extra protection.
Tried several types of shampoo shields with DS1 and they were all too small or just flimsy and broke.
I got our hairwashing jug from Asda Living, it's brilliant even though DS2 and DS3 merrily chuck the water all over themselves.

Thanks. Flannel over the eyes just isn't an option and I tried the jug a while ago to no avail. She really is incredibly hard work when it comes to hairwashing. I could try the jug again I suppose but I'm not holding out much hope!

What about the shower? DS1 used to hate having his washed too until we moved and there was a shower head with the bath taps, we used to stick things to the ceiling to get him to put his head back.

The shower is all I use at the moment. She absolutely refuses to look up, lie on her back in the water, use a flannel to cover her eyes. Honestly you should see the bathroom after a hair washing session. And me for that matter. I always end up soaked.

What about taking her in the shower with you? My dd1 (age 3) finds that very exciting!

We used a boots shampoo eye shield. It wasn't really what I was looking for but worked well, cheap too. Sorry I can't link but you can google it.

Swimming goggles??

I used to tell my girls to point their chins up to the ceiling. It makes the head tip right back, and I could pour water over their hair without it going over their faces.

you really dont need this tilt your dc back ward with your arm supporting their head and rinse,

simples.

Sorry I keep sounding negative, but I really do need something. Shower with me deosn't work, encouraging head tilting doesn't work. Honestly, you should see the tantrums

Thanks for that Jinty I'll have a look. Ann I might just try goggles too. Thank you.

I used to wash DD's hair in the bath by supporting her neck and leaning her back. I used jugs of clean water for the final rinse. She learned to wash her own hair in the shower when she was having swimming lessons when she was about 8 or 9.

We have the jug, the ring (£2 from the local chemist), non work for us. Just rinse the hair and wipe the face with dry flannel. My LO still screams but i can't make her to put her head backwards.

I found that if I ran a really shallow bath so that DD could rest her head on the bottom without her face being covered with water she didn't mind.
