We tried warm water and then Coconut oil per another website. We were sure we were going to have to lop it off and then we tried your suggestion as a last resort and it worked! Not only did it work but it was fast and painless. Thank you so much for posting. PS for those in a similar situation I used raw apple cider vinegar, poured it into a deep bowl and just dunked her hair in as she watched tv. Afterwards washed her hair in the shower and it was totally gone. Thanks again.

She snuck it into bed to play with, fell asleep and rolled into it. It was covering most of the back of her hair. I found your vinegar trick and we were able to rinse it out and have her back in bed in an hour. I am eternally grateful! Thanks so much!!

My daughter recently got some gluey goopy substance stuck in her pretty, long hair. I didn't realize how bad it was and didn't try to get it out right away because I was in the middle of something. Last night by the time I got to it it was hard and totally stuck to her head and scalp. It was late and I didn't know what to do, so she went to bed and I sent her to school this morning with a bow covering the area, thinking I'd have to take her to a salon today to get this taken care of. However, after googling for solutions and finding your post I decided to try vinegar before giving up. I can't believe how easily (and painlessly) it came out. I just kept saturating the hair with vinegar using a microfiber cloth and working it down the hair as I went along. It took me less than an hour, which is no where near how long I thought I would be working on this today. THANK YOU so much for this post:) I wouldn't even bother with the other suggestions -- just go right to the vinegar...you won't be disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731252772356274347.post-47674138555404123962009-05-23T11:43:56.931-04:002009-05-23T11:43:56.931-04:00I had an undisclosed substance in my 4 year olds h...I had an undisclosed substance in my 4 year olds hair this morning. Assuming that is was gum, we tried using peanut butter. I all came out rather easily with a little patience. After a quick shampoo to remove the peanut butter, all is well without a large chunck of hair missing. The truth came out later when our 6 year old found the partially empty silly putty container.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731252772356274347.post-81307469609474508662009-01-15T10:04:00.000-05:002009-01-15T10:04:00.000-05:00I sprayed PAM in the spot and rubbed it in and let...I sprayed PAM in the spot and rubbed it in and let it sit for a few minutes.

I got out as much as I could and then we had to go to lunch so it did dry some in his hair. He just lay down on the counter at day care with his head over the sink and we washed and combed with the soap still in his hair till it came out. This was easy. For clothes I just soak them over night in the hottest water possible with regular laundry detergent and it comes loose enough to scrape. I have never tried to get it out of carpet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731252772356274347.post-29284586484630143312008-05-17T13:12:00.000-04:002008-05-17T13:12:00.000-04:00I tried the rubbng alcohol method on clothing..
