how do you get pomade out of your hair?

<p>So I had a brilliant idea to go as Alfalfa (Little Rascals) for Halloween, and bought some pomade to slick down my hair and spike the one part in the back. Worked great, but it won't come out of my hair!!!! I washed it 6 times, had my dad look up online how to get this crap out of my hair (after he stopped laughing at me), and then tried dishwasher detergent as recommended. It thinned it a bit but two shampoos and a blowdry later (supposedly the heat melts the wax onto the comb and you can wipe it off, but NO it actually doesn't)...this crap is still in my hair.</p>

<p>If anyone is still on here....help! Would peanut butter do it? We'd have to lock up the dog if my head is slathered in peanut butter, but I know it got gum out of one dude's head when I was in middle school.</p>

<p>I am so not going to school in the morning with this crap in my hair.</p>

<p>OMG</p>

<p>Alrighty...</p>

<p>Buy some Baby Shampoo.</p>

<p>Buy a nice, strong hair conditioner, like Queen Helene's Cholesterol.</p>

<p>Buy one box of Arm and Hammer baking soda.</p>

<p>Pour, like, 1/3 of one cup of Baby Shampoo in a cup and pour 1/3 of one cup of baking soda in the same cup.</p>

<p>Add the Baby Shampoo and baking soda mixture to wet hair which has been towel dried a smidgen. </p>

<p>Let that stuff sit on your head and when it starts smelling a tad bit "off", you hop in the shower and rinse it off very well. </p>

<p>Rinse it first with pretty warm water and then rinse it with pretty cool water. </p>

<p>Make sure your hair is squeaky clean after you rinse it. If it is not squeaky clean, then wash it again. But, one rinse should do it, unless you have a big old head of hair.</p>

<p>After all of that, set your hair with as much conditioner as your hair will soak in. Let the conditioner sit in your hair for a goodly while, then rinse it well. You can even let it sit in your hair overnight and just wrap your head before you go to bed. </p>

<p>You should be alright after all of this.</p>

<p>all right, merlinjones. I'm guessing there is a great story behind your wonderful step by step instructions for poor ol'futureprof. Care to share?</p>

<p>Why do they sell pomade if it is this impossible to get out?</p>

<p>because i think the people who generally use pomade...use it all the time..a la george clooney in oh brother where art thou.</p>

<p>ahaha sry i cant stop laughing.</p>

<p>so, how did it work out, futureprof?</p>
