Is there someone with you that can help you out? Could you maybe take a trip to the hairdressers and treat yourself to a wash and blow-dry? My mum washed my hair for me when I had my BA (partials) as I wasn't comfortable using my arms. Personally I wouldn't try it myself for another few days at least xx

My friend washed it yesterday but I feel i need to give it a good scrub.....! I feel okay however perhaps I should get my mum or a friend over. I just wanted to know if I could do any damage and I don't like asking people for help.

should shouldn't do much damage unless you lean on them against the bath i guess. i didn't wash mine for 4 days and then couldn't bear it anymore so stood over the bath and crouched my head down as much as poss so i didnt have to stretch my arms up much, got my mum to do a last final rinse for me tho i think x

I washed my hair, which was silly, i used to have shallow baths then get out and wash it over the bath, my partner do it once, but it wasnt how i do it, a bit like the hoovering lol...
Im a bit ocd tho, i have to have a bath between 4 and 5 every day, and wash my hair every day, other wise i feel dirty, ive been like this since i was small!
I was worse when i was pregnant, up to 4 baths a day, (craving for baths lol)

I didnt have any pain tho, so i felt fine to do, which was very silly, no wonder i ended up with an infection!
It is horrible, how long do you have to wait for a shower? xx

by Little jen on 20th June 2011, 9:08 am

I have been bathing as I can't go without it. My friend washed my hair yesterday (bless her) and what a mess that was (water everywhere) lol, I just want to give it a good scrub, perhaps I should wait for my mum or mate to help me.
I was just going to try but thought i'd check with all you ladies first.

Thank you for your thoughts

you could try, but then if you try and find it to hard, it will be half done lol.. see if your mum can help you 2moro, just say harder please! lol... she will probably hit you on the head with the shower for being bossy lol xx

Hey hunni - Id say give yourself a little test run ... Bend over the bath n pretend to wash it to see if u think u could manage. My OH has booked me in at a hairdressers just up the road for this Saturday as it will b 3 daya after my BA n I'll deffo need it washing then. I just couldn't b bothered with attempting to try n do it myself.
Hope ur healing well

I used the kitchen sink because it has a long hose with a spray nozzle on it.Since the sink is up high,I didn't have to bend far and the hose really helped me get a good rinse where I needed it.I had a lift as well so I didn't want to stretch my arms to much.

That was a really good question and Ill remember that but if I dont please remind me !!! as the mind is the first to go right?... (no it was the boobs) LOL do you just fill bath 1/4 to 1/2 and not get bandages wet as I am having a nipple incision not under crease.. so that is ok? because I dont think I could go a week with no bath...

by Little jen on 20th June 2011, 10:14 am

Well i am going to do the school run and grab my mate to help wash my hair, again lol. I know i'd try tonight , get halfway through and then give up ha ha. I may even phone my hairdresser and see if she could squeeze me in, i could do with a trim lol.

Thanks ladies, we will see how far we get tomorrow, then there is the drying and straightening........ why was i not bless with film star hair????

My best pal came and washed mine and she's doing the same tmrw for me but she trained in beauty so kinda knows what she's doing. Batiste dry shampoo from boots is a godsend for in between washes. The pink one smells like a summery perfume,, lovely! xx

by Emme-Kate on 20th June 2011, 1:48 pm

I never thought of a dry shampoo.Terrific idea

by nimnomnice on 20th June 2011, 3:33 pm

i HAVE to wash my hair every day...lucky my wonderful boyfriend helped me...but the second day he had to work, so i managed myself...and after that i just did it myself, cos it didnt really hurt much. i bought some dry shampoo but honestly? its just not the same! if anything i felt even more dirty as my hair felt all luggy with the product in Rolling Eyes

by Flossy on 20th June 2011, 9:45 pm

My boyfriend did mine for me too..
I had a very shallow bath and kept my sports bra on and he just used a jug to rinse, but he was being really gentle in the end i was like JUST SCRUB IT!!!!!

xx

by jen86 on 20th June 2011, 9:51 pm

ha ha, my boyf was too! he was soooo gentle i was like, come on im tough!!! scrub hard!!! ha ha. bless, he was scared of hurting me! he even used to stand in fron of me going down the scares cos he was scared i would fall, n he wanted me to fall into him rather then down the stairs lol awwww Dr Lurve
