Shampoo tray for Hair washing

The Ez-shampoo hair washing tray from OJMedical comes with a four and half inch wide neck opening which helps to get superior support for neck. This is compact and light; hence will not cause strain and pain to the shoulders. This helps for easy shampooing from both ordinary chair as well as a wheel chair. Shampoo tray is used by individuals who are disabled and are confined to a wheel chair. This is because disabled persons will not be able to stand for long to shampoo their hair. The flexible rubber part at the opening for neck of Ez-shampoo hair washing tray helps people with physical dependency to shampoo their hair without much effort. This is free from latex so that it can be used safely by everyone without any fear of allergy or irritation. Nowadays even common people use shampoo tray to avoid problems of water in nose, shampoo in eyes, strain on neck etc.

The tray is usually made up of hard molded plastic and those who wish to shampoo can wear it behind the neck sitting in front of the sink. The wide part of shampoo tray is placed in the sink, while two sides that hold the neck is firmly kept on the shoulders of the user for rest. In between the sides there is a crevice at the middle which is a neck opening. The long and wide body that is kept towards the sink will hold up the hair of the user. This also decreases the flow of water to avoid spilling of water on the floor as well as on the clothes of the user. The neck adapter is usually extend-able, comes with rubber facings along or has raised edges so that the neck can be kept close to it without pain and water will not dribble towards the body or face.

Shampoo trays are usually of two types. Extendable type and neck adapter type.

Extendable shampoo tray

Extendable shampoo tray is usually made of hard plastic and in this type the length of the tray can be usually extended to a maximum length of six inches and more for ensuring maximum support for shampooing. Usually this type of shampoo trays come in white color.

Neck adaptor shampoo tray

In a neck adaptor shampoo tray instead of hard plastic, molded plastic is used and is made of soft foam so that it is easier to manage water flow. This usually is available in shades of white color, but light blue shades are also available at times.
