I've done the odd one or two. I like them, but I dont do them regularly because my hair doesnt seem long enough and I always get it wet.
I put a bit of oil (coconut) on my length, but only a bit - then I secure it in a crown ponytail, and cover it with a grocery bag (plastic bag). You could also use saran wrap I guess. Then I mix some water and shampoo into my squirt bottle, shake it up and squirt the resulting foam onto my scalp. The bottle has a good nozzle which gets under my canopy.
My scalp got clean and my length got wet but not soapy. I then air dried and once it was totally dry I brushed so the oil was nicely spread.
Once my hair is past BSL I can imagine doing these regularly. I would rather do this than a full head wash any day. Even though the bagging part is a bit of a faff.
ETA: I just read Amoretti's article. I am SO going to do it that way from now on! Genius. and no icky faff-worthy plastic bags.
