Help! hair's been buttered!

Think that tomorrow I would be inclined to just comb her hair through with a wide-toothed comb and plait it (if long enough) and then work the fairy liquid in when she comes home from school!

If this fails then try a 'clarifying' shampoo. These are designed to remove gel deposits from hair. I know my son used to use it now and again when he used to use a lot of gel. [sorry, think they are quite expensive].

oh dear! lol

i feel your daughters pain! I suffered many brutal days of hair care as a child, after my dad poured toothpaste all over my head instead of shampoo! And i agree with all of the above!

Fairy liquid, if you can stretch to the pink flowery one then the kids at school won't be able to tell! Lather, rinse, repeat 3 times!!!!!!

Then slap on conditioner, seriously don't be afraid to use half a bottle! And wrap her hair in cling film!!!!! It's like a salon deep conditioning treatment, and leave it on for atleast 30 mins!!!!!

When you take off the cling film, the hair should be soft enough to comb, and should detangle easily. Only when her hair is properly brushed, then take her back to the bathroom, and rinse out the conditioner.

I had this wash x3 + condition while corrie's on method applied more times than i wish to remember!!! lol. But it worked, and with very thick hair, that was long enough to sit on, it was the only thing we could do!!!!!

Best of Luck

Boots sell their own brand clarifying shampoo and its pretty good.


Try applying the shampoo to the all over hair and working it in before lathering it up with water(the hotter the better, but not scalding )-should do the trick.

Thanks for all your replies and advice.
We didn't have time to do hair before school run, so just plaited it.
We carried out the whole shampoo/fairy liquid mix worked into dry hair, left on for 15 minutes, and rinsed off...then...shampoo and rinse all over again..and it's still stiff and greasy :mad: :mad: :mad:
It didn't seem too bad when it was still wet, but once I started drying it, I could hardly get the comb through!!!
Tomorrow is my DS2 birthday, so I might not get to Boots for the clarifying shampoo that has been advised. I hope her scalp will be okay until Wednesday. She won't be doing that again
Thanks again,

Hi -

Sounds like you need to absorb the grease still, try baby talk powder and really rub it through her hair and scalp and leave it in for a while before the next wash. Also you could try adding some baking soda to your normal shampoo for first wash. Doh poor you Hope it works out soon.

When you try and comb it through, start at the end of the hair and gradually work your way up to brushing further up. If you try and brush/comb from the root you'll end up matting it further :eek:
