How do you get nail polish out of your hair?

Question

How do you get nail polish out of your hair?

Answer 1

Cut all the hair off lol

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

You could use nail polish remover, but don't "wash" her hair with it. Find the polish in her hair, use an old towel or cloth and pour the polish remover over her hair. Fold the towel over it and rub it or blot it. And you know what they say "Repeat as necessary." When you get done be sure to wash her hair with shampoo and water, it should remove any polish remover residue from her hair.

Good Luck.

Answer 4

Just use shampoo and conditioner

Answer 5

just scrub HARD with soap and water OR you can try an Anti-dandruff shampoo, they have chemicals similar to those found in nail polish remover.

Answer 6

hello i dnt think that your sister had polished her hair fully...... but after all you can use dilute acetone or alchohol to remove it. it will make no harm to the hair of your sister....... ok hav nice time and enjoy..........

Answer 7

Yuo could jus put some nail polish remover on a towel and rub it on the part of your hair that has the nail polish on it.

Answer 8

Just wash it a couple of times and comb with a fine tooth comb. Don't put chemicals in her hair. It will come out!!! When I was 12 I put peroxide in my hair because my friends did and my hair always goes light now. Nail polish remover could strip the pigment in her hair.

Answer 9

wash, rinse, repeat. got it?

Answer 10

A repeated wash may do the trick. Or even though I know this works best with chewing gum but try putting ice ON THE HAIR and maybe it will break up and peel off.

Answer 11

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

Answer 12

Nail Polish In Hair

Answer 13

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.

Answer 14

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!!

Answer 15

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.

Answer 16

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!

Answer 17

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.

Answer 18

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.

Answer 19

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

Answer 20

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,

Answer 21

Try a little bit of olive oil. This should loosen up the nail polish and then you should be able to just scrape it off with your fingernail. If that doesn't work, take her to an expert at your local hair salon. Just be glad that it is only in her hair. When my daughter was 2, she got into my clear nail polish and I found her trying to put it on her eyelashes like mascara! I wasn't sure if she got any in her eyes, so i took her to the emergency room where they cleaned her eyes out.

Answer 22

Nail polish remover won't change her hair color. Put some on a cotton ball and wrap it around the strands, slowly go down the strands. Repeat as needed. Use a good clarifying shampoo after it has been removed and then a light conditioner.

Answer 23

No acually i think that nail polish remover is the best way to go. Im not sure if it colors your hair, so you have to be careful (I think you know that) You just use a very little amount, enough to get rid of the polish only where it is. use a tissue or something and just rub it where it is and no where else.

Answer 24

Put nail polish remover on your hair

Answer 25

Place her in the shower, use the nail polish remover quickly, get it all out, then use shampoo to remove the polish remover 2-3 times repeated, rinse thoroughly, all should be well:) This has happened to many parents so don't feel bad:)

Answer 26

Just lather the hair or section with shampoo or conditioner. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, rinse and blow dry while combing and the polish will have chipped away.



You can also try removing it with hand sanitizer while coming or brushing the nail polished area. Good luck!

Answer 27

Use the nail polish remover. She is four and her hair will grow out if you are concerned about that. Next, it's time to put up the nail polish out of her reach. Better still, now it's time to go through the house and kid proof it. Anything that you may think she can get into, she will try. Start to rearrange your kitchen, bathroom and medicine areas of things she can get into and put them higher up. Kids do the darndest things. LOL Good luck!

Answer 28

Nail polish remover

Answer 29

Try acetone free nail polish remover, after brushing it to remove what chipped off. Use small amounts on a cotton ball and do not let it get in her eyes, shampoo and condition afterwards. If it damages her hair, you can always cut it later.

Answer 30

Use the nail polish remover and then wash her hair,right away with baby shampoo! Her hair won"t fall out! FYI don"t let her do her nails anymore she"s too young!

Answer 31

Try to use small amount of nail remover,followed by warm water,then repeat several times untill nail polish comes out.Don't get the polish remover on the child scalp it very well may burn her skin.

Answer 32

Nail polish remover WILL get the nail polish out of her hair and the worst that will happen is that she'll get split ends

Answer 33

yeah 4 year olds are good for that mine did that to me last week but she put it in her 3 year old sisters hair I used remover on her hair by putting it onto a washcloth then blot the nail polish with the washcloth,putting remover in her hair will discolor it !!! I was finally able to get the rest of it out today it will wear down to where you can comb it out !!! Hope this helps good luck !!

Answer 34

Use nail polish. No difference between hair and nails and you let her use it on her nails. Were you supervising her with the polish?

Just rub gently with a cotton ball and try to not rub the scalp.

Answer 35

i used nail polish remover on my hair to get nail polish out, acetone at that, and it was fine for me... but im 17, i dont know about a 4 year old

Answer 36

You don't have to be scared to you nail polish remover. It won't do damage to her hair. Furthermore wash her hair if you're that scared to use polish remover!! Good Luck!!!!

Answer 37

I think in time it will come out but nail polish remover is not good it will damage the hair. (Anything with alcohol will.)

Answer 38

About the best cleaning product that has ever been introduced to the market, and I don't sell it, is the old Amway L.O.C. (liquid organic concentrate) that has been around since the early 1950's. You would be amazed at the number of cleaning jobs it can do--and it quite gentle to your skin, hair, whatever. Dealers have been known to actually brush their teeth with the product just to impress their audience. It is quite safe and extremely effective with most any task. My family is never without a gal. of the product nearby.

Answer 39

Ok I want to know how the nail polish got in your hair to begin with.

Answer 40

acetone free nail polish remover. put her head over the sink and get a cotton ball and work it through the hair real fast that has the polish on it and rinse the hair out real fast and then shampoo.

Answer 41

You can try a mix of lime juice and coconut milk. It should help to get nail polish off her hair naturally.





You can also try this herbal nail polish removal containing only fruit extracts.
