Peanut butter

Thanks a friend just suggested olive oil. If that doesn't work it's on to peanut butter. Thanks again.

I once tripped going up the stairs with a can of polyeurathane in my hands and it splashed onto my face and hair. My hair was as hard as a rock. I used baby oil to get it out. It took a few baby oil washings, but it came out. Then it took a few shampoo washings to get the oil out.

Because it is an oil based paint, you have to use oil to get it out. That's why people are suggesting things like olive oil and peanut butter. It may be easier to apply something like vaseline that won't drip, but plain vegetable oil will work too if you don't want to waste good olive oil or peanut butter. Good luck!

Okay, this is gross. but I once splatted oil based paint all over me. Dh has me use diesel fuel. I don't know that I'd want to put it in my hair, thou.

Can't tell you how many times I've done that! Oil paint is easy to get out - paint thinner would be my first choice, then turpentine. Then wash the heck out of it and condition like crazy. And if you color your hair, be prepared - it will strip a lot of the color out, too. I wouldn't waste my time using olive oil or peanut butter, I'd want it out - now.

Probably too late for you, but try putting shampoo on DRY hair, work in, then rinse clean

Sorry...Meant to say to after you get the paint out, to remove the baby/olive oil try putting shampoo on DRY hair, work in, then rinse

Remember in chemistry like attracts like

so anything oil based will be removed by oil

and water based by water

and so on
