Need Help From Freeper Females (vanity)

Some of the guys and I are presently at the camping lodge and we’ve got a problem that requires the help of a sensible woman. My brother-in-law managed to get something in his hair this morning, and he wanted to wash it out. I can’t tell you what that something was, because he’s refused to divulge that to us thus far (I suspect that he fabricated the “tainted hair” theory to save himself some embarrassment.)

My brother-in-law believes that his wife has, at some point, told him that peanut butter is a useful household hair cleaner / conditioner. His wife animately denied ever saying anything about peanut butter, and thinks that he must have confused it with mayonnaise. Anyway, this guy has gone from a docile gentlemen to a ranting idiot and he’s now in a state of full blown panic.

Please provide us with any suggestions that you may have for removing peanut butter from hair. If possible, we’d like to know of any “home remedies” that may work – we’re in a fairly remote location and nobody is willing to go to the store. Besides looking ridiculous, he smells horrible. Here’s what we’ve tried so far:

A) Tried to “melt” it away by pouring very hot water over his head. This basically resulted in mild burns to his neck and scalp.
B) Made a makeshift shower cap out of a Wal-Mart bag, taped it around his head to make it watertight, and poured beer in a small hole at the top. He let it soak for about an hour to no avail.

Anything that you can suggest would be most appreciated.

LOL, it would be helpful if you could tell us what is actually stuck in the hair. But try using ice (on the hair, not the scalp) to freeze the substance, then scrape it off with a knife. Any residue should was out with a good shampoo.

Naw her name's Irina.

If it is sticky the peanut butter will do (WD 40 would also work) and then wash it a couple of times with dish detergent.

Other than that I can't give you any advice unless I knew what it was.

We've got to stop meeting like this! ;D

SHAVE HIS HEAD!

After the detailed account of the various things, it sounds like the cure is infinitely worse than the disease.

Maybe after you shave his head, he will decide he looks good and macho and will even keep it that way.

If this thread is real, and you are not just putting us all on, any more "remedy" is cruel and unusual punishment.

As some pointed out, it could even be dangerous, be sure there are no open flames anywhere in the house.

I seriously suggest shaving his head right now.

Hey, bud........:) Any better, and it probably wouldn't be legal. :)

Listen you old f*ck - if you keep haunting me and my friend here, you'll be sorry.

Finger-nail polish remover?? This is a cabin of regular guys, not Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Looks like they ran out of everything except Beer...Drink it and Piss on his head.

[No Fool]

If it's gummy, try bread crumbs. If it's oily, try Ivory Liquid (dish soap), if neither of these works, drink the beers and get out the shears....

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh no..... The guy is gonna explode if anyone there lights a match.

Hmmmmm,

There are logically, not a huge number or type of substances that would be

toooooooooooo embarrassing

to admit to being in one's hair.

And probably, sadly, embarrassingly, several among the top ten most likely probably have to do with various bodily functions and substances.

I can imagine why one wouldn't want such to uhhhh leak out.
