Mobile Salon, Portable Inflatable Hair Wash Basin for Washing and Cutting Hair at Home or in Bed for Elderly, Bedridden and Disabled, No Need for a Salon Chair

This inflatable basin is such a good item. My partner has had extensive surgery on his shoulder and can’t raise his arm to wash his hair. He hates having dirty hair, so this has been an absolute game changer. The two breaths to blow the thing up are absolute rubbish and it took a lot more than that, but once it was inflated, it retained most of the air, and it literally took two breaths a few days later to top it up. I used it in front of the bathroom sink, with my partner sat in a camping chair. All he had to do was lean back slightly into a position that he was comfortable in, which was the natural position to sit in the chair. I put a towel around his neck and fixed the inflatable basin over the towel. The neck straps are fiddly, and it was necessary to twist one, as the press studs have been fitted back to front, but once in place, even a single stud held in place well. It did a great job of funnelling the water straight into the sink, and there was no spillage on to the floor. The first time I used it, I didn’t tighten the neck band enough, so the towel around his neck did get damp. The second time was much better. It's amazing how much difference something such as clean hair can make to someone. Although this does feel a bit cheap, and it does have its flaws, such as the press studs, it’s still a great bit of kit, and I’m happy to recommend it.

Awkward to use at first but it does serve its purpose. It’s priced a little dear for what it is but I guess this is because of the niche market for this type of item. Just make sure to have a large bucket we connected a siphon and funnel to be able to transfer easily. We also use a portable shower for washing the hair.

This is a good width and length and is easy to inflate. The only fault is that water still leaks down my back when using: some kind of collar to sit firmly in place against my neck would definitely improve this.

I'm sad to say this didnt work at all for me. I have to wash my elderly mothers hair and she struggles over the bath so I thought this would work. I set her up against the sink as instructed and put it on. The water went straight down her back and soaked the chair and she was totally soaked through. It is too flimsy to stay put or blown up. Wouldnt stay firm against her neck and water went everywhere. We did have a giggle as was such a disaster. I dread to think how it would work as a bed hair wash. I think it is over priced too for what it is. Maybe it would work for a younger person but my mum cant put her head back well enough so I cant see it is suitable for a very elderly person.

excellent product which enabled me to wash my mothers hair and make her comfortable

This portable wash basin makes my work very easy! It's simple but does the job. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Poor design. It is impossible to use without water running down soaking the back of the person having their hair washed. Added to that it is almost impossible to fully inflate the device so that the part supporting the neck is not inflated.

Lockdown with all the ramifications for cutting and dyeing hair at home led us to take a punt and invest in this. We tried to think of various ways to use it to create a backwash for getting hair dye out safely. Our mixer sink taps aren't an easy type to fit a showerhead style attachment to, so we settled on trying to use the actual showerhead (which mercifully isn't a fixed one), and a combo of a chair and this contraption to attempt a rudimentary version of a backwash. Oh dear. I admit we are not hairdressers but at the end we felt halfway between swimmers and contortionists. The item simply doesn't stay in place as soon as there's weight of water on it. Cue water everywhere, and (in our case) resultant hilarity. I do think it would work well over a sink, as you'd have that stability underneath it. But I'm a bit on the fence as to how well it would work for other scenarios eg bed bath or using a chair somehow. It's not entirely the fault of the product of course, since gravity plays its part. I just wish it had the ability to create a chair/backwash as it comes so close to being ideal for that... But just isn't.

Es muy útil; además como es hinchable es cómodo para la persona a la que le tienen que lavar la cabeza. Otra ventaja es que no ocupa espacio. Es fácil de hinchar; no se necesita ningún aparato; es cómo hinchar un globo o un flotador. Es un plástico resistente. Es recomendable poner una toalla debajo (principalmente a la altura de la nuca) por si cae algo de agua.

works a treat

Il prodotto è un'ottima alternativa ai lavatesta classici (quelli con bacinella di plastica rigida, su montante) ed ha un prezzo ragionevole. Si gonfia con pochi "soffi", si sgonfia dopo l'utilizzo e occupa pochissimo spazio (si ripone piegata in una busta di plastica, fornita con il prodotto, di cm 24x20). La consiglio a chi, come me, deve lavare la testa ad una persona molto anziana: per ora la posso utilizzare, come mostra la foto, utilizzando il lavandino del bagno. Per chi avesse bisogno di un lavatesta per persone costrette a letto, è invece consigliabile un'altra tipologia di bacinella gonfiabile.

Confortable et utile

Very useful item. Great above kitchen sink with a cushion or two for comfort. Comfortable for clients and easy to clean.
