A while back, I accidentally got a fair bit of foot cream in my hair (don't ask), which is the WORST thing to get in your hair EVER. As foot cream (I use Soap and Glory heel genius; highly recommended, but not for the hair) is very greasy, it is a total pain to try and get it out. However, after many trials and tribulations, I finally managed to find a method that worked wonderfully!
You may think just to wash your hair with normal shampoo. This doesn't work. Instead, I used (brace yourself) washing up liquid. This sounds odd, but the fact is that it contains chemicals that latch on to (therefore removing) the nasty grease.
Even though I haven't used it all too much, I would imagine that this works for any very greasy substance.
To use, lightly massage the 'problem area' with the washing up liquid like you would with a nomal shampoo and make sure a big lather (bubbles) is created, then rinse. To get foot cream out, I did this a few times until it felt lovely and soft! Then I used my normal shampoo skipping out the conditioner to avoid more grease.
Things to remember:
- If you are in a hard water area (generally southern in the UK) you may need to use more washing up liquid to create a big lather
- Don't 'massage' too violently or you could damage your hair folicles, stimulating more grease to be created
- Use a good brand like Persil or Fairy, as these have the best properties in them for removing grease
- Don't use too much washing up liquid or wash it too many times as this can make your hair pretty dry, removing the natural oils in the hair.
You could do this, or just not get foot cream in the hair to start off with (I'm an idiot). Hope this was helpful!
Bye!!
