How to Get Wax out of Your Hair

I've always wanted to have dredlocks... just like this guy.



Liz and Anna had a pirate Valentine's day party. And what's more Jack Sparrow than dredlocks? So last night was my chance. I made dredlocks.

And what's the most difficult hair styling product to get out of your hair?

We used wax and glue to make dredlocks. Well, I looked hot like this guy last night, but even after washing my hair three times last night in the shower, I woke up with a very waxy head and pillow.

So I phoned Nikky, my friend that also made dreds, to see how she was doing.

Her concotion was eggs, peanut butter, mayo, and vegetable oil. Rub it in, wait for five minutes, wash it out. My head was still waxy.

I found an internet site that said vegetable oil would work. I tried it, my head was still waxy.

Finally I found a site that said to get wax out of carpet, you should use an iron and wipe up the wax as it melts with a cloth.

So I went to the shower, pretty determined. I scrubbed my head with every random product there was in our shower. And I thought, well, what about the carpet method. The iron provides heat, and the cloth adds a mechanical way to remove the melted wax. So I turned up the heat in my shower, stuck my head under, and scrubed with a cloth.

My head is feeling less waxy, but still not normal. It might take a few days. I think I've washed my hair nine or ten times now. hahahahaha Oh what we do for dress up parties....
