My daughter has sap in her hair. Don't know how it got there, and not going to ask. It's down at the end, at least. Any ideas how to get it out?

you can try Off bug spray, mayonnaise, or murphy's oil soap..these are all ideas I found by doing a quick search online just now.

Don't know if this will be a help for your daughter, but this is what we do for our dogs. (I know, it's not the same, but we don't have kids, it really works on the dogs, so what the hay...)
Butter.
We smear butter on the end of a hand towel and just work it around the sticky area, over and over. We add more butter as needed to keep it pliable. It works every time and it's relatively gentle. It can be a little messy, but it's been our salvation when our dogs go chasing into the cedar after a rabbit!
Hope it helps--good luck!

Just about any oily product will work for sap. I speak from experience, having raised a darling little farmgirl tomboy who would NOT stay out of pine trees!

Just be glad it wasn't duct tape! The only cure for that was a really BAD haircut!
Sap is pine tar which they actually put in shampoo, so try a little vegetable oil and it should just slide right out depending on how much there is. We used to have pinecone wars as kids and that's what got it off our hands.Heat will soften it up too so the blow dryer might help it budge!
with a happy heart |
