My kid just used glue as hair mousse

[sangria]

I’m at work and H was in the shower when she decided to style her own hair.



They are currently in the bath. Will it wash out? Is she destined for a pixie cut?

What kind of glue?

[JLV]

Oh no!

Pretty sure it was regular elmers.

The H isn't responding right now, but he said it had started to dry already.

I mean...I follow the logic. It SEEMS like glue would hold together a hairstyle best.

She's advanced. I know.

I had a friend in college that used elmer's glue for his liberty spikes. Your child is a punk rocker in the making.

C put petroleum jelly in her hair. That took over a week to completely wash out of her hair. lol "I look pretty mama!"

wow... I just don't even know where to go with that one... I am just hoping my kid doesn't do something like that...LOL

ETA - at least you'll have a funny story from all of this and it's JUST HAIR - not something super important...?

Lol. 

DD2 put petroleum jelly all over her arms and legs like lotion. That was pain in the ass enough, I can't imagine in hair.

Oh man cleo29, DS covered himself and his floors in petroleum jelly. Disaster. It took forever to get out of his hair.

If it ever happens, do not wet it. First, you put cornmeal the hair which will stick to the jelly. Then wash multiple times with q clarifying shampoo.

Elmer's type glue? Or glue stick?

That comes out pretty easily. Run a warm bath and let her get her hair wet for a bit. It'll soften and you can comb it out after putting conditioner on her hair. Then finish with a shampoo.

a friend of mine in high school used elmer's glue to dreadlock her hair. she said it washed out with warm water and patience.

and my nephew once covered himself and his room (floor, walls, tv, bedding) in shaving cream. my sister was laughing so hard she couldn't really be mad.

I once let a friend try to mohawk my hair in high school with elmer's glue. It washed out in hot water and a lot scrubbing. I don't recommend doing it on purpose but it does come out!

Confession: I carry a glue stick in my bag for various reasons, but one of them is to make my hair behave when it's being lame. It works, but there is a technique to it.
