Just wash it over and over, and scrub it good.

Nail Polish In Hair

Hey - I found this for ya! Hope it helps!
This one is rather straight forward. First isolate the hairs with polish on them from the non affected hair. Soak a cotton swab in nail polish remover and gently stroke the affected hairs until the polish is gone. Once the polish is removed, keep the hairs isolated until the polish remover has been neutralized with water.
After you shampoo the hair, be sure to use a cream rinse or a good conditioner to close down the hair cuticle from the damage caused from the polish and the remover.
It is possible that the polish remover will slightly discolor the hair and if the area is large and visible, may require a professional color job to mask the damage.

Boy oh boy!! So many of the answers here are mis-information. Use nail polish remover or even acetone. Dampen a clean rag, terrycloth is best, and wipe the polished hair until the polish is gone. Do NOT pour the liquid on her head. Neither will color her hair nor bleach it. They both have a drying effect on the skin (skin will turn redish) so it is important to wash her hair thoroughly afterward. Try a kid shampoo. You might even try a hair conditioner or hand lotion to replace some of the lost oils. Good luck!!

I would try nail polish remover...I can totally understand your hesitation, but what you could do is either try it on a small spot of her hair...or some hair that has already fallen out (e.g. from her hair brush).
If it doesn't work, it's possible that acetone might work...but you may have the same issues.
By the way, I don't think it will sting her scalp...that's just like the rest of the skin we have, so if it doesn't sting her hand/arm (which also has hair), it won't sting her scalp.

Just use the nail polish remover, it's just hair. Either that or cut it out. As long as she doesn't drink the nail polish remover it's not going to harm her. You let her paint her nails at 4 years old, and you're concerned with toxic substances? It's on her nails too, or did you forget?
Nails and hair are made of the same substance, you can't say you don't want to use remover in her hair, if you've allowed her to go and paint her nails.
Additionally, you know that nail polish chips? Right? What if the paint starts peeling and she decides to eat it?
Nail polish used to come with a disclaimer on the bottle, not for use by children under 7 or something like that.
At 4 years old, when that paint starts peeling she's going to try to eat it.

It depends how far up the nail polish is. Use the nailpolish remover until you get close to her scalp. That might have to just grow out. It'll probably come out after a couple of showers anyways. Good luck!

I would try a sensitive type nail polish remover on her hair and not her scalp. Put some on a cotton ball and let it sit for a second in the hair - then try to peel the polish with your thumb and index finger along the hair shaft.
Then - wash her hair. Hopefully it will still be pretty. If not - cut it.
It's only hair.
After I would perhaps try putting nail polish and other fun
big girl stuff out of her reach.

You could try using baby oil and see if the dried polish will slide out - like you would to remove gum. Using ice might work, too.
Or a non-acetone nail polish remover if all else fails.
Once the nail polish has dried it actually shouldn't be too difficult to remove - in fact, unless it is a big knotted up mess, you *might* be able to slide it from the hair without using oil or chemicals.

1. Wet hair
2. Apply copius amounts of cheap hair conditioner.
3. Rub conditioner 'into' nail polish and try to slide it off the hair.
4. Rinse and repeat.
5. When all that's left are little stubborn bits then use an acetone free polish remover sparingly.
Good Luck

First let it dry. Don't use nail polish remover. Like regular paint, it will eventually chip out, but if you can't wait that long, take a brush and gently brush it out. It will probably take some time, so don't try to do it all in one sitting or you'll make her hate you brushing her hair, or you could hurt her scalp temporarily by making it sensitive, that kind of thing. Beyond that, if you have to go out very soon and you need to hide it, try a pretty, well-placed bow.
Hope this helps,
Rebecca
