Abstract

The machine is for shampooing and cleansing a person's hair and is constructed with a sink in front of which the person preferably sits and means associated with the sink for receiving the head with the face directed substantially downwardly. Once in position a hood is pivotal to cover the hair and has a nozzle array associated therewith. This nozzle array includes individual nozzles for dispensing a shampoo, creme rinse, or rinse water. The machine can be operated manually to apply shampoo, creme rinse or a water rinse, or can be operated automatically in a pre-programmed manner. The machine is provided with control circuitry including a binary counter and associated decoder logic, temperature regulation circuitry and temperature sensors. The shampoo and creme rinse are contained in individual containers at least one of which is provided with a mixing chamber for mixing the incoming hot and cold water prior to dispensing through the nozzle array.
