How to get medical glue out of hair....

[gwod]

One of my kids cut her head last week and the wound was glued together at A and E at Kings. All is well, the glue did a great job, she is fine and healing nicely but her hair has a large area of hard clumpy glue in it - How do I get it out?

Sorry to hear about your daughter and glad to hear the wound has healed well. When we have had similar experiences we just waited for it to drop off and then washed and comb it out (gently) but we usually wait more than a week to do this.

The glue will dissolve in warm water (hence the advice not to get the glued wound wet) So, if it's bothering her, and she'll stay still long enough, you could hold a warm, damp flannel over the clump of glue carefully avoiding the wound itself.

Or comb it out as suggested or just leave it and it'll eventually drop out...

I have washed it twice since the accident and it didnt seem to budge at all....I shall leave it to soak longer next time before I give up...Thanks EDmummy and annaj
