Hi to all. I want to put a couple of theories out there to rest. First, acetone will not burn the hair. It is used in many centers/hospitals to remove the glue. The person that said that the oil-based nail polish remover works too is very accurate. Acetone based will remove it the fastest, but the smell is bad. Non-acetone is much easier on the scalp and no smell with it. Either way, after you have washed it you will have what looks like a bad case of dandruff. As long as it is up off the scalp, it will wash out. The witch hazel theory sounds quite extreme and unnecessary.
I want to apologize in advance that some of you were left with excessive amounts of glue in your hair. I am a neurodiagnostic tech (and also have had seizures myself- had successful left temporal lobe surgery in 2004) Any tech that allows their patient to leave without making a good attempt to get a majority of the glue out provided you with poor patient care. I am sorry for that.
