how to get the glue out of your hair

Mon, 12/12/2005 - 22:30
As a hairdresser for 20 something years i learned a trick or to. To help you remove the glue from your hair after an E.E.G try this 5 to 7 asprin crushed Half a cup hot water dissolve asprin in water, 2 good size squirts of shampoo, 4 tablespoons whitch hazel or seabreeze mix well all together. Massage thru wet hair and let sit for about 15 to 20 minutes. You can comb thru after alotted time has passed. Rinse and shampoo and condition as usual. Can be repeated if needed. This can also be done once a month to remove traces of medications from your hair.DO NOT NOT GET IN EYES!! and I would not use on childern under 10.

I am having a 72 hour EEG

Submitted by CLRichards75 on Tue, 2019-12-17 - 01:15
I am having a 72 hour EEG right now and I am distraught because the nurse covered my head in dozens of layers of tape directlymon my hair. I have thin, fine color treated hair and I am distraught about the same person removing the tape and ripping  my hair out. I see lots of suggestions for glue but what about tape ? Is it normal to completely tape up a person's head directly on hair ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

ANOTHER THING THAT A EEG TECH TOLD ME TO DO WORKS GREAT ON ALSO GETTING RID OF ALL THE KNOTS AFTER A VEEG. TAKE SOME REALLY CHEAP CONDITIONER LIKE VO5 OR SAUVE AND GOB IT ON, WORKING IT IN TO YOU HAIR. TAKE A THICK TOOTHED COMB AND START AT THE ENDS, GENTLY, DOING A SMALL A SECTION OF HAIR AT A TIME, WORK YOUR WAY UP. IF YOU HAVE REALLY THICK, LONG HAIR LIKE ME, I REAPPLY MORE CONDITIONER AS NEEDED. AFTER YOU ARE ABLE TO COMB FROM SCALP TO THE ENDS OF YOUR HAIR COMB IT IT NUMBEROUS TIMES LOSENS THE GLUE AS WELL. THOUGH YOU COULD DO ROOTBEERS THING FOR THE GLUE. WASH YOUR HAIR A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND LIGHTLY CONDITION AND I USUALY COMB MY HAIR MORE TO MAKE SURE ANY MORE LOOSE GLUE COMES OUT AND RINSE.  HOPE THIS HELPS EVERY ONE AFTER VEEGS.

I had a friend of 25 plus

I had a friend of 25 plus years put epoxy on my scalp as she intertwined different strands of my hair and when she pushed or "stapled" my hair to my scalp, the epoxy had made her nails soft and mushy and that's the"staples" in my scalp that have made me very sick for 5 years and continues as I am picking, pulling, and trying thi un twist my hair off my scalp. Very hard patches on my head that looks bald but is actually not bald but epoxy, nails and my hair. I can't get no one to recognize my problem or antibiotics to help with infection. I feel your frustration. Feeling like a "bop it" in Iowa
