Need Help From Freeper Females (vanity)

Some of the guys and I are presently at the camping lodge and weve 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 cant tell you what that something was, because hes 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 hes 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, wed like to know of any home remedies that may work were in a fairly remote location and nobody is willing to go to the store. Besides looking ridiculous, he smells horrible. Heres what weve 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.

Peanut butter takes gum out of hair.
Use dishwashing liquid or something to get rid of the peanut butter.

Since none of you want to run out to the store(drunk) tell us what products you have available....(tell us before you try using it)........I would think repeated washing with soap is your best bet.

As someone who has raised six sons, let me tell you this:
When son #4 was 3 years old, his brothers threw burrs on his head. He had long blond hair halfway down his back. We shaved his head.

I'm not female but it sounds like he went to sleep with some gum in his mouth and woke up with it in his hair.
If it is gum, peanut oil (hence the peanut putter comment) will dissolve chewing gum but it does take an hour or so. I have had to do this with my kids several times.
If you want to have some fun, after rubbing the peanut butter into his hair, spread some jelly on it and have him hold it in place with a piece of bread.

It probably depends on how much. A friend in high school slicked her hair back with baby oil for a play. Shampoo wouldn't touch it.

That is an excellent suggestion. We need to know the original substance (at least its properties) and what items are available in the cabin.

There's a good product called 'Nair'. Rub it on, wait about 10 minutes then rinse. That's a hair remover! lol

I'm trying to compose myself enough to type. I loved the Nair suggestion. I've literally got tears running down my face.

I showed long-haired dogs for 25 years. Rubbing in cornstarch and brushing it out cleaned up anything.

hey if he's already scalp deep in peanut butter, the rest of you guys should just lob your chewed gum at his head. Just to see if peanut butter will rebel it. Let us know if this works.

RID is excellent for lice. It works better than the prescription stuff.

I heard a burlap bag with a really hungry raccoon inside does the trick. Oh, wait a minute...that was for something else.

I think before we divulge any more recommendations or hair care wisdom, we deserve to know what your BIL got in his hair, originally.
Time to fess up.
I have images of that Ben Stiller movie, "There's Something About Mary" playing over in my head.
Inquiring minds need to know.
