how to get the glue out of your hair
Mon, 12/12/2005 - 22:30Topic: Corner Booth
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.

You don't want to use nail polish remover, that's got acetone in it, you'll burn up your hair!! When I had my ambulatory EEG done they used stuff that was LIKE nail polish remover (smelled like it) but didn't have the acetone in it . . . did a great job at getting the glue out but left my hair feeling real oily . . . . so of course, right away I went home and took a shower!!
