Its no longer alright to harm a toddler no rely no rely what his age is. you are able to restrain him yet you won't have the capacity to heard him in any way, shape or type, you ought to offer him an afternoon out. It does not must be too long, only 5-20 minutes. If he strikes then only carry him decrease back and save doing this until eventually he keeps to be there for the time given. The pulling of hair ought to end notably promptly after that! desire this helps!! for extra information watch the countless Jo Frost television exhibits on parenting for a sprint suggestion!!

Oh no! I've seen this one before - I'm a beautician. There's not much you can do, that stuff is so hard to get out, it just has to slowly work itself out over time. You can try Dawn dish soap, it may help a little, but nothing is going to get it all out. Just continue to wash her hair once a day.
Don't use veggie oil or peanut butter! Vegetable oil is an OIL, oil is hard to get out, it will make the hair even greasier. Peanut butter is too thick & sticky, it will do nothing, it can't absorb the vasaline or anything.

Cornstarch would probably work, but baby powder might take out the grease also. I remember reading somewhere that if you had extremely oily hair, to use baby powder.
I did a bit more research and found this website - they suggest the cornstarch or even baking soda....

Good luck.

I would try vegetable oil, I know that sounds really gross and that vaseline is already greasy but it's a sticky greasy not greasy greasy. Or peanut butter, either way those will clean out of hair a lot better with shampoo or dish soap would be better. That's my suggestion. Otherwise you could try to blow dry it on the cool setting and get it to dry up a little then comb it out and wash after that. I think vegetable oil would work really well though.

Believe it or not, my mother told me I did this when I was young. The only thing that worked was vinegar. She told me when I had kids (just in case). She said it took several days of calling all over before they found something that worked. Good luck!

Try using Corn Starch(argo cooking type) and rub it in good. let it sit a few minutes and then shampoo her hair again with hot/warm water.
Edit: I just found more information on the site linked below.

LOL I'm sorry but that is FUNNY!! Honestly, you may just have to wait it out. But if all else fails, at auto places they have a degreaser soap... it will work. My son has done the same thing more than once. LOL too funny.

I know other people already said it, but cornstarch actually works. Mine have done this a couple times. If it is really bad you may have to use it more than once.

Try a regular bar of soap.
