Poor Sam ... so not happy! I know what you are alluding to. I had to wrestle my Godson down in my tub. Poor little guy didn't like me until I brought out bubbles. Lol. Seriously, though, really warm water and dawn works wonders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878334 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 19:26:44 +0000 Sams Mom 2878334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: I tried the blue Dawn first (it's in the shower for the dog 😂), I think I got most of it, but he became resistant/soapy wet toddler doesn't mix </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878330 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 19:14:43 +0000 Dahlia 2878330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a metal nit comb? I wonder if you could just comb it out with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878327 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:57:20 +0000 erinbaderin 2878327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve heard peanut butter works for getting gum out, I would try that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878323 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:46:21 +0000 Jennibenni 2878323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try an oil same as you would approach gum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878322 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:45:07 +0000 Kaohinani 2878322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this happen when my bestie's kids were playing with the cheese wax (* mind you, as a clean freak, I WAS NOT HAPPY.). I was able to wash a 3-year-old's hair (her son), as well as, have my bestie clean her 11 yrs old DD's hair with VERY warm water (not hot enough to burn the scalp) and Dawn dish soap... after the wax was out, a second scrub with regular shampoo led to soft "wax-free" locks. Her DD snuck some wax upstairs in my DD'S room to play with and got it all over her carpet... oxiclean, hot water, and Dawn before I ran the spotbot did wonders </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878321 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:41:58 +0000 SweetCaroline 2878321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Yes...that's more than fair. I'd say do it when he goes to bed, but DD is a wild animal, never know when she'll roll over. I think I'd have DH give her a big bear hug while I quickly go for it. BUT my girl perhaps a bit less feral. Those kids...what next?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878320 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:35:49 +0000 Sams Mom 2878320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: I have both, I think I'm more scared about a hot implement near a semi feral toddler's head that can sense my fear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878318 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:32:42 +0000 SweetCaroline 2878318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a hair straightener or curling iron? Is his hair long enough to use those to melt it and then wipe off both the tool and his hair? I don't know if that is clever or crazy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-wax-out-of-hair#post-2878317 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:31:12 +0000 Sams Mom 2878317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>🤦🏼‍♀️</p> <p>My son runs up to me as soon as I walk in the door telling me he has candy in his hair. The baby sitter wasn't sure what it was, but got a lot of it out. It didn't smell sweet, and isn't very sticky.</p> <p>After bribing him with a couple gummy robots, he showed me. </p> <p>It's the red wax from babybel cheese. From what I can tell he chewed on it some? Then stuck it in his hair? (They're in one of the lower drawers in my fridge, so he could have done all of this in the time it took her to go to the bathroom.)</p> <p>It's not water or soap soluble as far as I know. </p> <p>Any suggestions? </p> [attach=8928/19/pozz3j.450x600.MVIMG_20190326_172156.jpg]
