How do I get this adhesive/glue/goo out of my hair?

My wife had the same sleep study and the same glue goo in her hair. She washed her hair once and it did not come out. Her second washing, she let the shampoo stay on her hair for five minutes to let it penetrate each hair folical. She said that did it.

Personally, I think she used Lava soap to remove the goo.

Good Luck.

@john65pennington Thank you and I’m trying that next.

Here’s a site with a few possibilities.

When I was a kid, my sister used peanut butter to get gum out of my hair. It was the one time I was actually glad she was babysitting; my mom would have cut it out. Perhaps peanut butter would work for this, too?

First things first… are you sure that it is adhesive?

It’s actually the oil in the peanut butter which does the trick so you could try olive oil instead if the idea of PB seems to goopy.

And hot oil treatments are not unusual as a hair treatment for people either.

Easiest and quickest solution: shave your head.

Peanut butter. No joke.

@erichw1504 I would shave my head, but I would look like an overweight man with HUGE breasts if I did.

@JustJessica As a kid I had a bunch of EEGs…same crap different study. First, take a warm bath and let your head soak in the water for a few minutes…get out and let a bunch of conditioner sit in your hair/scalp for an hour or so…or as @Buttonstc mentioned hot oil (you can buy VO5 at your local drug store).

Either method, you will have to do more than once to get it all out. If you do go to the drugstore, then may have a rubber scalp massager or a shampoo brush——get one. It helps to scrub in the oil/conditioner and lift the wire putty out.

@ everyone I got it out, it just took me 4 or 5 washes to get it. Thank you everyone for their wonderful advice!!!
