How to Get Petroleum Jelly out of Hair?
Ask a Question
How do you get a petroleum jelly based product out of your hair?
I have used Kuza Hair Treatment not knowing what was in it and that it wouldn’t wash out.
This is the culprit -
I have tried normal shampoo, baby powder, corn flour, and fairy liquid.
Any recommendations as my hair feels like it has glue in it trying to comb it and looks like I have tried to style my hair with Vaseline 
Peanut butter leave for 10 minutes and wash out
Normal dish soap wash with warm water comb and comb and wash out
Cornflour

Thank you! I have tried the cornflour and washing up liquid and had no joy 
I will have to see if there is any peanut butter in the cupboard for me to try!
Have you tried Baking soda: Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with a regular baby shampoo, then wash and rinse out. Repeat if necessary. Baby oil: Saturate the hair in baby oil, rub it through the hair completely and squeeze out as much as you can. Make sure to use warm water in the shampoo, since cold water congeals the Vaseline. Worked many years ago when toddler daughter got into baby box.
I have just found some baby oil in the cupboard and I’m going to try that, abit worried that it might make it more greasy! I will wait until my partner is in so he can help me make less mess! Thank you 
lilyflower ah no I haven’t to be fair, good idea. That’s might be worth a shout too, thanks hun!
AliceBell64468 I googled How do you get Indian hemp out of hair? and got this ...
Heat up some olive oil (not HOT but warm) and then dip a comb into the olive oil, then slowly comb it through the hair. Let it sit for about fifteen minutes, then put shampoo on BEFORE you get it wet... lather up and rinse
Who would've thought that your Sunday afternoon could quickly change into a cookery session? I am ashamed to admit I had a little laugh although it would have been the same even if it was my own hair. 
You really need something to cut through the grease like apple cider vinegar or a something that strips out product build-up. I have heard of washing up liquid being effective, probably because it has a grease cutting ingredient. (it is also kinder than most people think so don't be put off by it's purpose)
I know kinda scrapped the plans for going for a dog walk, sent the partner out to do that by himself lol! I did laugh to start with but now I’ve tried that many different things its more that I’m starting to cry! I have tried two lots of fairy and that hasn’t worked. I’m about to try the baby oil see if that works. I also have some swarfega scrub soap which may be worth trying, I don’t know, anything would be great really it’s just not shifting.
thank you, I hope it comes out soon as I start a new job a week tomorrow! I will let you know if the baby oil & more washing up liquid & swarfega scrub does the job lol!
lilyflower yes I think if none of the home remedies will solve it then it will definitely be a trip to the hairdressers, there is no way I can start my new job looking like this lol!
lilyflower & angemski it has finally come out!! I’m so happy 
I used half a bottle of baby oil on there soaking it and massaging it in, wrapped it in a towel and left for about 20-30 mins. I then used Tesco own brand apple washing up liquid tough on grease on the front lol, seeing as it tried fairy earlier.. and I put that straight on to the hair without wetting it first, rinsed that out. Then used the swarfega heavy duty scrub lol, rinsed and another lot of Tesco Apple liquid, rinsed and finished off with my rituals of Sakura shampoo! It has done the job so that is what you need if it ever happens to you!! 
thanks for your advice x x
Yipee, pleased it worked and the offending product is in the bin. An interesting Sunday 
Good luck with the new job now you're ready to go
lilyflower thank you, yes looking forward to starting the new job so thanks. Hopefully I will have sparkling hair!
I am so pleased you've got a better result. Please remember you wouldn't treat a rug with the chemicals you have put on your head so play nicely with your follicles for the next 7 days. x
AliceBell64468 How is the hair this morning, shinning and still attached to the head?
Nothing beats apple tescos I use all time though not for hair haha glad got sortied x
lilyflower yes still shining, smelling abit strange I suppose a mixture of washing up liquid and shampoo. I decided not to wash my hair today to try and give it a break!! Still attached though thank god lol!!
Loislane yes hun the Apple Tesco washing up liquid is the best lol, it smells lovely and I think it is better than Fairy. My boyfriend still uses Fairy for his window cleaning lol x
AliceBell64468 I've almost forgot this tip. I had to check with a stylist friend because this product used to be used for stripping out product build up but now it's promoted for itchy scalp. Get some Soap Spirit or Spirit Soap. It's reasonably priced for a large amount (around £7) and worth having a bottle in the cabinet for all those other little experiments......
I will have a look online and read up on it thank you, could come in handy! x
