Hair bonding glue is usually used when applying “tracks” directly to the head or on a wig cap.  Although it is one of the most inexpensive methods of applying a hair weave, the cost to natural hair can be detrimental, making the use of hair bonding glue potentially not worth it.  In addition to the glue being a pain to remove, if not removed properly the glue will leave a sticky residual on the hair, which can cause hair damage, and possibly cause hair to fall out.  To prevent this outcome, there are several ways to ensure hair bonding glue is completely removed and to gaurantee that natural hair remains safe and healthy. 

Hair bonding glue remover shampoo is sold in most stores, and is applied just as a regular shampoo would be.  Wet hair and massage the remover shampoo into the hair focusing mainly on the scalp until the tracks begin to loosen up.  When the tracks are loose enough they will slide out gently with a small tug.  Once all of the tracks are out, rinse hair, then shampoo and condition hair with whatever other products are available.  After the conditioner is out, all hair glue should be removed.  If there is still some residual hair glue left on the hair or scalp, use oil sheen or hair oil to saturate the area.  Then, whatever residuals are left should comb out easily.

If hair bonding glue remover shampoo is not available, or if just looking for an inexpensive option to remove hair bonding glue, there is a product that can be helpful that is found in most kitchens. Olive Oil is very helpful in removing hair glue, although it can be messy.  For this method of removal, in addition to the olive oil, a towel should be draped on the shoulders, and a comb should be handy.  Saturate each track one by one in olive oil, massaging along the way.  Once tracks are saturated, they should slide out quickly. For the tracks that are a little harder to remove, just add a little more olive oil and continue to massage scalp.  Once all of the tracks are removed, comb hair thoroughly.  If there residual glue on the hair or scalp, it should all be out after a shampoo and conditioner treatment.

A lot of people stay away from hair bonding glue because of the effects on the hair when not taken care of and removed properly, but, by following these tips, removal of hair bonding glue should never be a problem again.

How to remove Vaseline from your hair at home – safely and effectively

Somehow, you’ve managed to get a little (or maybe a lot) of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) in your hair. Whether you were attempting to create faux (fake)dreadlocks or were using the product to protect your skin from hair color, it really doesn’t matter. You want it out and the sooner the better – but aren’t sure how to go about it.

Don’t panic – there is a simple solution to getting it out at home without further damaging or ruining your hair. Here’s what you’ll need:

Box of cornstarch or cornmeal powder
Paper towels
Clarifying shampoo
Detangling hair conditioner
Wide tooth shower comb
A good friend to help you

1. Using a paper towel, soak up as much of the Vaseline as you can from your hair by blotting or pressing the towel to the affected area(s.) Don’t rub or scrub – just gently press the hair and continue this process with additional clean paper towels until you have gotten as much of the product out as possible.

2. For short hair, apply a small amount of cornstarch or cornmeal powder to the areas of the hair that still contain Vaseline. Again using a paper towel, pat a light coating of the cornstarch or cornmeal power onto the hair. Fully cover all areas where Vaseline is present. A helpful tip to avoiding a big mess on your floor is to stand in a tub or shower while you do this – then you can rinse the powder down the drain after you are done.

For shoulder length hair or longer – lay down on the floor with your head on a towel, unfolded vertically from the top of your head. Gently arrange your hair away from your head, so that it extends the length of the towel. Have a friend or family member apply the light coating of cornstarch or cornmeal powder to the areas containing the Vaseline until all strands are fully covered.

3. After the hair has been successfully covered, get into a warm shower and wash your hair with the clarifying shampoo. Don’t apply the shampoo directly to your hair – put a generous amount in your hands and gently shampoo your hair. Work the clarifying shampoo throughout your entire head, rinse thoroughly, then repeat with another shampoo and rinse until all of the Vaseline and cornstarch is removed.

4. Follow up the shampooing with a conditioner that has both detangling and deep conditioning properties. This step is key, as your hair may become dry from the Vaseline-cornstarch-shampoo process. Garnier’s Fructis Sleek and Shine Fortifying Conditioner would be an excellent choice. Rinse completely and use cool or cold water as the final rinse.

5. Use an absorbent bath towel to squeeze out any excess water from your hair.

6. Apply a separate detangler – Garnier’s Fructis Sleek and Shine Weightless Anti-Frizz Serum will work wonders. Using a wide tooth shower comb, carefully work out any tangles from root to tip. Allow your hair to air dry after this step.

7. If you were not successful in removing all of the Vaseline, you may repeat the above process the following day. After the second treatment, all of the Vaseline residue should be gone.
