Shampoo support apparatus and method for use of same

A shampoo support apparatus comprising:

• a body having an upper end, a lower end, a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side, and a second side;
• the top surface including an inclined plane and the top surface tapering from the upper end to the lower end;
• the body including a longitudinal axis from the upper end to the lower end, the longitudinal axis having a longitudinal length;
• the longitudinal length including a midpoint and a mediolateral axis bisecting the midpoint creating an upper longitudinal length body segment and a lower longitudinal length body segment, the upper longitudinal length body segment and the lower longitudinal length body segment forming the body;
• a flexure bearing hinge joining the upper longitudinal length body segment and the lower longitudinal length body segment at the mediolateral axis;
• the upper longitudinal length body segment including a cushioning material forming a neck support at an intersection of the upper end and the top surface, the cushioning material forming an upper back support on the top surface from the neck support to the mediolateral axis;
• the lower longitudinal length body segment including the cushioning material forming a lower back support on the top surface from the mediolateral axis to the lower end, the upper back support and the lower back support, in combination, providing a continuous transition therebetween;
• an outer cover providing an envelope over the cushioning material, the outer cover including a water-resistant polymer;
• a support structure consisting essentially of a vertical support member supporting a horizontal support member, the horizontal support member being supported at a smart device working distance from the neck support, the smart device working distance being about 10 inches (25 centimeters) to about 15 inches (38 centimeters), the horizontal support member having a connector securable to a plurality of positions along the horizontal support member, the connector configured to accept and secure a smart device thereat;
• and
• a line-of-sight viewing corridor extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis from the neck support to the horizontal support member, the line-of-sight viewing corridor providing unobstructed visibility of the horizontal support member.
