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'm glad I read this.  I am going to have to have an 72 hour EEG done on myself soon and the tech told me that the glue shouldn't bother my hair at all that it should in her words "condition my hair".  Now that I have read this I am starting to wonder about what she said.  :-|

I took this advice yesterday after having the electrodes on for only about 4 hours, but it worked like a charm!! I thought I was going to have to spend the rest of the day scrubbing and picking so thank you!!
