Finding the right inflatable hair wash basin may not be as easy as it sounds – there are dozens of brands in the market and you have to know what to look for or you will end up with a basin that you cannot use. The basin you buy will be largely determined by your budget and personal taste but there are some important considerations that you should take into account.
The first is where you want to use the basin. If you patient is completely bed ridden and cannot get out of bed you need a wash basin that can conform to the curves of the bed, but if they are able to sit up, like in a wheelchair the basin should be made of stiff plastic that can be clipped to the chair.
You need to think about the comfort features of the basin. If it too stiff it will hurt the back of the neck, and if it is too soft the head will sink too far in for a proper wash. It is a good idea to read a few reviews before you buy any wash basin that you have in mind.
Another important consideration to take into account is the length of hair to be washed. If you are dealing with a long mane you need to buy a basin that is designed to handle long hair or you will end up with a puddle of water on the floor. Some of these basins come with a detachable tray that you can place hair on for a wash and a rinse.
Lastly, look at price – just because one inflatable wash basin is more expensive than another doesn’t mean it is better – look at performance and durability instead.
