Safe Ways to Remove Glue from Hair

There are various ways to remove glue from hair such as using commercial products specifically designed for this purpose. However, simple household materials such as comb, shampoo, rubbing alcohol and conditioner can safely remove glue from your hair. Try the remedies below.

With Conditioner and a Comb

You can easily remove dried glue on your hair by applying a small amount of conditioner on the area that contains the glue and combing it down with a narrow-toothed comb. Gently comb from scalp to the hair ends. Use a clip to separate the combed hair section to prevent the glue from sticking on the combed section of your hair again.

Rubbing Alcohol

Soften the glue on your hair with mild rubbing alcohol. Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the concerned area and allow the alcohol to sink into the glue for 5 minutes. Use a wide-toothed combed to remove as much glue as you can, and then use a narrow-toothed combed to remove the stubborn pieces.

Shampoo and Conditioner

The safest and the easiest way to remove glue from your hair is by using shampoo and conditioner. Take a bath and apply a generous amount of shampoo on your hair. Rinse down the shampoo with water and remove the excess water from your hair. Apply conditioner on your hair and leave it on for 5 minutes. Rinse with water. When your hair is dry, comb and determine if there is still glue on your hair. Repeat the process until all the glue is gone.
