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.

You can get witch hazel or sea breeze at any drug store or walmart or target. They are both Face and body astrngents. They carry them in the place that has soaps and face cleaners (like oil of olay and such) This should still work for you even though the glue is matted you might have to leave it in for a longer time and repeat agian after you wash your hair. If you can get someone to help you They can carefully comb the mixture thru your hair working out the hunks of glue (it is best to start combing from the ends and work your way up to the scalp. Once the glue is loosed and working its self out then you can recomb from the scalp to the ends. Be sure if combing to work in small sections. Best of luck to you.

girl I did not know that you were a hairdresser too!!! It is funny how we come up with things that work so well (that you would never think to put on your hair LOL) For the kids version of that I always use instead of shampoo dish washing liquid (dawn is the best) mixed with a little bit of seabreeze, and a little baking soda mix it till it gets thick and then I put it on the glue itself with a old toothbrush and gently scrub (my 4 year old feel asleep while I was doing it so not hard at all)let set for a few minutes (10-15) and lather shampoo and rinse...you will definetly need conditioner after that but it works great for glue, it also works great for too dark of haircolor and just a really good deep cleaning of scalp and hair.. I am going to have to try the aspirin one I bet it works great :o) if you are going to use this on children apply with toothbrush only on glue spots themselves as to keep it out of there eyes....
