Abstract A helmet has ear plugs to cover the ears of a wearer and an watertight band lining the helmet to prevent fluid leakage therefrom. A flexible inlet hose opens into the helmet for supplying water under pressure into the helmet. A flexible outlet hose extends from the helmet for draining fluid therefrom via a drain valve. A spray device in the helmet at the opening of the inlet hose sprays water into the helmet via a water valve. A reservoir of hair shampoo fluid opens into the helmet via a shampoo valve. A plurality of scalp massaging brushes are rotatably mounted in the helmet. A motor is mounted in the helmet and coupled to the brushes for rotating the brushes. A rechargeable battery is mounted in the helmet. A control device is electrically connected to the motor and the battery for selectively operating the water valve, the shampoo valve, the drain valve and the motor in a predetermined sequence to wet, shampoo, brush, rinse and drain the hair of a wearer of the helmet.
A hair washing device, comprising a helmet having ear plugs to cover the ears of a wearer and a watertight band lining the helmet to prevent fluid leakage from the helmet; a flexible inlet hose opening into the helmet for supplying water under pressure into the helmet; a flexible outlet hose extending from the helmet for draining fluid therefrom via a drain valve; spray means in the helmet at the opening of the inlet hose for spraying water into the helmet via a water valve; a reservoir of hair shampoo fluid opening into the helmet via a shampoo valve; a plurality of scalp massaging brushes rotatably mounted in the helmet; motor means mounted in the helmet and coupled to the brushes for rotating said brushes; rechargeable battery means mounted in the helmet; and control means electrically connected to the motor means and the battery means for selectively operating the water valve, the shampoo valve, the drain valve and the motor means in a predetermined sequence to wet, shampoo, brush, rinse and drain the hair of a wearer of the helmet.
