Great product.
This product is excellent. I used it on my mum when she was ill. Very easy to use, lovely fresh scent. Left hair clean and tangle free. This really works very well and you do not need a lot of the product. Would be ideal for camping, festivals etc as well.

A Dignified Solution for Bed-Bound Care: No Residue & Truly Clean Hair
This hospital-grade, rinse-free shampoo is a total game-changer for dementia care and palliative settings, providing a mess-free, dignified hair wash for many differently-abled people. As a caregiver for a bed-bound person, I’ve found the Nilaqua Rinse-Free Shampoo (500ml 2-pack) to be an absolute essential hygiene item. If you are struggling with the mess of traditional basins, the recovery hurdles of post-surgery care, or the chalky residue of standard dry shampoos, this is exactly what you need. Why it stands out: • Safe for Sensitive Scalps: My loved one has a very sensitive scalp, but even after daily use for months, he has experienced no irritation. The alcohol-free/paraben-free formula is incredibly skin-friendly. • Effective on All Hair Types: My loved one has short, thick, wavy hair, and this liquid handles it perfectly. I can confirm it is suitable for all hair types, including colour-treated hair. • Dignity & Comfort: Washing hair in bed used to be a stressful ordeal involving wet sheets and tears. Now, it's a calm routine. ☯️ • Professional Results: My loved one’s professional carers were so impressed by the lack of residue and the fresh "apple" scent that they now recommend it to all their other clients. 🧼 More Than Just a Medical Product: While the obvious use is for critically ill and palliative care patients, those recovering from surgery or living with neurodivergence and neuro-degenerative conditions, this is also a fantastic alternative to dry shampoo. If you simply find you are sometimes to pressed for time to wash your hair, this provides a "true" clean feeling that sprays just can't match. 🚿 Application and Pro-tips • Single Carer Friendly: This process is far less physically demanding than a traditional basin wash. A single carer can easily wash a loved one's hair without help, provided they are sitting up in bed. • Place the bottle in a bowl of warm water for 5-10 minutes before use. This is crucial for anyone who gets cold easily or who has sensory issues. • The product is very watery. To make it easier to manage, I transfer mine into a 150ml foaming dispenser. This turns the liquid into a rich, but light foam that is much easier to massage in and prevents it from running off before you can work it through your hair. It also helps the product go further, which is great for value. • Towel Drying is key: The hair must be thoroughly towel dried to physically remove dirt and excess product. Once this has been done, a hair dryer can then be used for styling and comfort. 🧼 True Cleanliness: Unlike sprays that just mask oil, this liquid lifts dirt into a lather that you simply towel away. The hair is left soft, bouncy, and genuinely clean, just like a traditional wash. FEBRUARY 2026 UPDATE & GETTING THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY: I recently compared this to single-use microwavable shampoo caps (which cost about £2–£3 each). In January 2026, I bought a single 500ml bottle for £13.55, which felt expensive. However, the 500ml 2-pack is by far the best value at around £15.49. We’ve used almost a litre in 5 months with daily washes for a person with short hair, which equates to roughly 10p per wash based on the price of the. 2-bottle pack. People with long hair could also use it at these rates for a quick root refresh. 🏆 Verdict: This is genuinely a 5-star product for quality, dignity, and performance. I cannot recommend it highly enough for home care. Just make sure you note the single bottle price and get the cost-effective 2-pack for long-term care!

NILAQUA: BRILLIANT TOWEL OFF SHAMPOO
Excellent product if unable to wash hair in the convential way. I warm the amount I need in microwave first. Wash and towel dry. If hair is very greasy apply again. Leaves hair and scalp really clean.

Best of the rest
Since becoming bedbound I have been using this product for some 3 years now and i have to say it is so quick, easy and effective that I would not use anything else. I have shoulder length greying hair and i just brush it all forward apply the shampoo in squirts massage in, then towel dry and style. My hair is clean, shiny, and smells nice. Just one thing as my hair is really fine i water it down a little which means it lasts twice as long! Recommend.

Realy works
I gave this five stars because I was really impressed with how clean the hair and scalp was compared to the dry shampoo. There was no musty smell like dirt covered up but you can still tell hair is dirty. Only issue is ...its not friendly to use .it spills everywhere would have been better in a spray bottle

Very Impressed!
Bought the small 65ml bottle to try it out before committing to a bigger bottle and I'm pleasantly surprised. I figured with festival season fast approaching I needed to get ahead and find a better way to refresh my hair while i'm living in a tent unable to wash it. I got about 3 uses from 65ml which I think was pretty good, though I will say I wasn't using it super liberally because I wanted to try it a few times so if I had more I might've used a bit more, but even just using a small amount on my roots worked great and smelled really good as well! I was skeptical seeing the no sticky residue claim but enough reviews convinced me this one would be better than some of the other products like this and it was a good call. The only residue I felt was there for around 1-2 hours after using it while the product hadn't completely dried on my hair yet (this may have been due to me not towel drying my hair as thoroughly as I should have which I learned after the first couple uses, but every time my hair definitely did not look wet at all about 15-30mins after towelling it off) But once it was properly dry my hair felt great running my fingers through it, it felt soft, smelled really nice and looked clean too. I ended up trying this product 3 times in 3 different ways. First time trying it I decided to see how it'd work on 4th day hair since this is probably how I'll be using it at festivals, I'd already used dry shampoo on 2nd day and talc on 3rd day, so i was using this on 4th day hair and it was great, I even managed to push it to 5 days by using a little more dry shampoo. This pretty much sold me on getting a bigger bottle already but I still wanted to try it a couple more times. So the next time I tried it was on 2nd day hair having no products in after washing which as you can expect went even better than the first try since this time it wasn't having to work with any other products, and then I also tried it another time on 3rd day hair having used dry shampoo the day prior. Safe to say i'm very very impressed. Have already committed to a big bottle of this stuff and decanted into a small spray bottle (might make application a bit easier and more even). I am now ready to enjoy festival season without being stressed about looking and feeling greasy and having to wear my hair up the whole time!

Premetto che i miei capelli sono piuttosto corti,carré che arriva al lobo dell'orecchio,e che devo lavarli una volta alla settimana,quindi non ho problemi di sebo etc.detto questo,mi sono trovata bene con questo shampoo.Fa schiuma,ma strofinando energicamente i capelli con un asciugamano di spugna,la schiuma scompare lasciando i capelli umidi per cui ci si può fare una piega.Inoltre i capelli rimangono morbidi,lievemente profumati di mela verde.Bella invenzione! E' ovvio che lavarsi con acqua e shampoo è un'altra cosa,ma se non si può,questo è un efficace sostituto dello shampoo tradizionale.

Smells nice and fresh, i do think it works better when "rinsed" off with a wet or damp towel. The hair, and especially the scalp is cleaner this way. Overall a good product.
