Goodness, I had to do that for my DD when she had shoulder surgery. Her hair is super thick and curly and she wears it straight. It was a really long, tiring process washing, rinsing, blow drying and straightening her hair. Did I mention she's a perfectionist and I have an ultra short pixie, lol.
Your husband must really love you!! ❤️

@Puggywuggy  I bet your pixie cut looks great! It certainly was a labor of love for you to wash, rinse, blow dry and straighten your DD's curly hair after her shoulder surgery! A+  Mommy score to you .

If there is a next time perhaps the kitchen sink would be better.

@SportyShorty07 Thank you, that's so sweet! DD has the whole process down to a fine art but whew, it took me a long time because I haven't had long hair since childhood, lol!

@Puggywuggy  Curly hair is such a pretty hair type and definitely takes a while to master in terms of rocking the curl or straightening it.  The fact that you did all that for your DD is really sweet ! I imagine that there was a lot of laughing and joking around while you were doing her hair. Also, I like your profile name- its super cute!

I’ve done it with one hand before. A little tricky but it can be done.

It may have been easier and a marriage-saver to have gone to a salon and had your hair washed and dried.

This is also the time for the hairdresser to cut that hair so it's easier to manage.  Hair grows out, so no big deal.   

Without full use of your wrist, until it completely heals, it's going to be a real hassle.

@Tinkrbl44.  That's a personal decision of course,  but you make a good point.  It definitely would be easier to care for.

First and foremost, I wish you a speedy recovery.  I have recently been in your shoes, and I am on week twelve of my healing process of a broken radius on my left arm.  

I was able to wash my own hair in the shower, but couldn't hold the blow dryer and the round brush.  Boy, as Kachina said, it was a test on the two of us!  I was trying to teach my DH how to style my curls and he was doing the best he could.  I didn't want to leave the house because my hair  will get frizzy if not managed correctly.  I was one happy camper when I could do it myself!

I am recovering from a broken wrist and needed my husbands help in washing my hair. Well not an easy feat, I have long thick hair. Lucky for the showr chair. It was a bit of a nightmare to say the least but we got it done, now on to drying it. Wish me luck

I'm a very practical person ....  and am also painfully aware how difficult self-care can be when you're sick or healing from a surgery or an injury.

I'm really curious .... why not have your hair cut until this is all over?   That would make everyone's lives easier.

Several years ago, I had neck fusion surgery and was restricted to using a hard collar 23 hrs. on. 1 hr. off.  I also couldn't raise my arms above my head.  When I'd shower, I could manange to get my hair washed, but blow drying and styling was out of the question.  I had to rely on my DH.  He did his best, but it was nothing like how I did it.  I appreciated his efforts anyway.

With my recent surgery, I couldn't get in the shower for a few days so I used SCRUBZZ to clean myself. I also discovered SCRUBZZ No Rinse Shampoo Caps.  You might give them a try, @I am still oxox.  In a pinch, they work pretty good.
