Washing hair means reaching the crown and the back of the head, holding the arms up, and doing it in a wet, slippery space. For clients with shoulder pain or limited range, that combination is often the point where showering becomes a two person job.
A long handled hair washer puts the washing head where the hands cannot go, so shampoo can be worked through the scalp with the arms low and the elbows tucked in. Keeping the client upright, with no need to reach over, also helps anyone whose balance is poor in the shower.
It suits clients recovering from upper limb surgery, living with arthritis, or managing fatigue, and it pairs well with a shower chair.
