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've had 3 VEEGS and also have long hair, what worked for me with success was using a hot oil treatment in the shower and leaving it on for a few minutes.  It worked great!  I only had to do it twice and everything was out. Good luck.  Mary Beth

Estreit,

thank you for your comments!  Here! Here!  If a Registered Neurodiagnostic Tech. removes it, the patient should not have a complaint!  I was one for 15 years! 

I also have had surgery.  I have had 2 surgeries and a VNS.

Your suggestions I back you up on!

Thanks!
