Rinse-free shampoo cap
Description
Nilaqua Rinse Free Shampoo Cap is a single-use, pre-saturated cap containing a mild conditioning shampoo that allows complete hair cleansing and conditioning without the need for water or rinsing. Designed for situations where conventional hair washing is impractical, it is widely used in hospitals, care homes, and home-care settings for elderly, frail or post-operative patients, and is also convenient for travel and camping. The cap can be gently warmed in a microwave for added comfort, then massaged over the hair to release the shampoo and conditioner; the solution is absorbed back into the cap and removed with towel-drying, leaving hair clean, fresh and ready for combing.
