To most people, the amount, color, and style of their hair is important. Hair styles have changed frequently during the centuries, but your CNAs don't have to be professional stylists to arrange their residents' hair in a way that makes them feel confident. Below are tips for CNAs to use when arranging residents' hair while they lay in bed:
* Cover the pillow with a towel or drape the towel around the residents' shoulders if they can sit up
* Remove the residents' glasses and put them in a safe place
* Brush and comb one section of the residents' hair at a time, working on one side of the head, then the other
* Turn the residents or lift their heads to comb and brush hair at the back of the head
* Arrange the residents' hair attractively
* Remove the towel
