Suggestions -- Washing Hair

[Guest guest]

Now that I can finally take a shower and wash my hair, do any of you have

suggestions as to how this can be done easily? I have very long hair and am

concerned about getting the implant area wet/infected. Would it be best for

me to use waterless shampoo until the implant area is completely healed?

Should I wash my hair in the sink as opposed to the shower? Can I use a hair

dryer? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

While my incision was healing, I actually held a towel over the implant site and

washed the remaining hair in the shower but my hair is not long. I'm not sure

how it would be best with your long hair but I would suggest something similar.

LOL! Perhaps you could fly over here to Wisconsin to help? I wouldn't

mind... <grinning>
