Dry cleaning hair?

[Paisley]

Does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning hair without water? My mother is in the hospital and cannot wash her hair. Thanks!

There's a product at Sephora (Fekkai brand i believe) that you use to clean hair without the water

I've heard of using baby powder or cornstarch and there are dry shampoos that I think do essentially the same thing.

There are dry hair cleaners available at many drug stores and certainly at Sally Beauty. We used to use it on my grandmother before she passed away, and having us clean and do her hair was a great pleasure to her.

I use cornstarch when I have greasies and no time for a shower. Just rub it in and brush out with a natural bristle brush. I think a dry cleaner would probably work better though.

Best of luck to your mother!

This is what I see all the time in drugstores:

How effective it is, I don't know, sorry.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I saw some spray-in cleaners on the Sephora website--I think those would be easiest for my mother to use. For some reason, I've never seen these at the beauty supply store I shop at, but then, I never looked for them.

There is a very good shampoo and conditioner called appropriately enough, "No Rinse". The shampoo lathers like a regular shampoo, but uses absolutely no water, just towel dry. The conditioner is very good too. The bottle says they are used by NASA.

I buy them for my mother who is in a nursing home. But I bought myself a bottle of each too, and in a pinch, especially after swimming in the summer, they are great!
