@ittybitty, I moved your question about managing your hair and washing to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can get helpful tips from fellow members who have had brain surgery like @gerrica @jeanneoc @dbicher @catv7 @mkoch and others.

@ittybitty, how are you doing?

Part of my head but not the entire head was shaved for the surgery. After I came home, I was ok with how I looked but my son said looking at me was driving him nuts. So he took me to get a really short haircut (not shaved, but close). And I liked the look. I still keep much shorter hair than I ever did prior to my surgery. I was forced to reinvent myself and liked the change. Good luck as you go forward.

Hi I would use a shower spray to rinse hair I did have some tangles and added a little bit of co conditioner to the baby shampoo I was told to use. Once my hair dried I put it in a loose ponytail and put a bandana to keep it from getting tangled. Maybe once you get the initial dry blood it won’t be a problem good luck
