Before I knew it my head was washed and there was no water in my eyes and very rarely in my ears! Hth

It attaches to the sink, no tools. Ask the store about return policy if it doesn't fit well. Test it, turn water on & adjust water pressure to your liking... A BIG saver on my back & ears. She liked it, said it tickled. No mess, nothing in eyes or ears. Easy to control where I put water. I got it from Rite Aid on clearance.. One of the best finds ever!!! (Note: not made for shower...tested it & it was a very watery comdedic scene lol)

But check it out for yourself. I think it's a wonderful invention lol

She will feel like a big, important girl and will always remember helping Mommy from time to time. Let her help wash her own hair with you, too, in tub or shower. Childrren enjoy feeling their help is needed, participating in their own care and explaining things to adults (she will learn alot, too). You both can also wash a doll's hair. No fun always having to submit to everyone and feeling "little". If these tips work, she may actually begin asking for hir day! (just watch that she dies not sneak off to water souces alone to try her new skills/fun & harm herself with hot water which can cause 3rd degree burns -- btw, there are hot water guards you can buy)
