How To Remove It From Your Hair?
There are a few different ways you are able to remove putty from your hair without all of the hassle of pulling it out and maybe losing a bit of hair in the process.
These ways are not expensive and you will most likely have these in your home already.
- Baby oil – This has many different uses and for solving many different problems. For getting it out of your hair, you might need some assistance from someone else to get it out of the back of your hair. You start by pouring a good amount of baby oil onto the area when the putty is stuck in.
You then need to massage that area really well to soften the putty. You will be forcing it to break apart and remove the stickiness so it can be removed more easily. When it starts breaking apart, you can start to spread it through your hair which will seem really annoying, but effective.
If it is proving to be a bit difficult, you can always add some hot water to the affected area to give it that extra soft feel.
- Conditioner – this one has some similar steps like the baby oil. You need to put a very good amount of conditioner on the area where the putty is stuck. You need to add some hot water again to help it move through your hair. It is important to know that combing your hair through with the conditioner is also very helpful to getting it all out.
- Coconut oil – Many people love to put coconut oil in their hair if they have quite dry hair as well as using it to get putty out. You will be using your fingers a little more for this one when separating your hair bit by bit. This might not be something you already have in your home but there are also some other items you can use too.
If you don’t have any of the ingredients above, there are also some other options such as vaseline or peanut butter. You can use the same steps that are stated above for each of the options and make sure you really massage that affected area. It can be a little bit more difficult to get those out of your hair after which is why the top options are probably the best.
What To Do After?
There are also some steps you need to take after massaging the products into your hair.
Your hair will need a good wash after putting certain products into your hair.
It is ideal to use a wide tooth comb to make sure you are combing out your hair properly and you can get everything out and brush your hair in the process.

You will need to wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo and maybe even add a little bit of baking soda if you have it to break down the oil.
You need to wash it all the way through to get your hair back to feeling normal.
You need to make sure you condition your hair really well after too to make sure you have the same feel to your hair and to make sure it is all out.
