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.

A PICU nurse told me fabric softener works great to get out the glue.  We have never tried it, I think we will the next time. I always seem to run out around the time we get an EEG.

Witch Hazel, or Sea Breeze helps!  Baby Shampoo helps!   Baby Shampoo has a subtle conditioner in it and a few shampoos will loosen it and eventually all will come out.

Nail Polish Remover is the form of Acetone used in the lab.  It gets out the fastest.  It dries the hair out too.

We can have varieties of oils in the market. Oil can also be use to get rid of glue. It can be use along with tooth brush or fine come. Baby oil is the effective to soften many kinds of gum. As I say varieties of oil like olive oil, cooking oil etc can be used. We can use all type of oily material which can be applied in the hair. Applt oil in your effected part of hair, scrub with light hand. and wait for 15 to 20 minutes. After that shampoo your hair.
