Thanks for taking the time to read / respond to this.

There's a good product called 'Nair'. Rub it on, wait about 10 minutes then rinse.

[Overtaxed]

WD-40?

[Toespi]

Try.....oxi(MORON)clean. Seriously, OxiClean has been a lifesaver.

Is there any lemon juice at the lodge? Cooking lemon juice, like bottled juice or the stuff in the little plastic lemons? That might work. Something acidic might cut through the oil in the peanut butter. That's all I can suggest...Something like rubbing alcohol MIGHT cut it, but after that he'd definitely need a hair treatment for the dryness.

I hope it wasn't chunky peanut butter.

Peanut butter is used to remove gum from hair.

Remove peanut butter from hair ? sometimes using something with the same properties will work. try peanut oil.

My best friend was a hairdresser.
Do NOT add any more water to the PB. It is high in oil. Any oil can be taken out with Dawn or liquid detergent. I did mayo on my kids hair during a lice scare. Pure oil. Straight shampoo will take it out, but since the shampoo is gone, any liquid soap or detergent. NO water before you get alot of detergent on, sudz it up as much as possible then rinse and repeat until clean.

Honestly, PB is not bad in a pinch. It takes stickers and gum out of kids hair, baby oil works better.

Please ping me with the results.

I don't remember ever hearing of anything like this. While I went to beauty college and thought I had remedy's for anything to do with hair, this one throws me. If he has used all of the shampoo, surely you have regular bath soap? If so, I would suggest he just keep washing it using soap until it comes out. It is because it is oil that is making it difficult. Rub, rub, rub that bar of soap on it!!

Shave his head and start over. Problem solved.

Tomato juice does work for skunk odor.

I agree that a dishwashing soap like dawn would cut the grease.

But vinegar is also effective at removing stuff, or lemon juice might work to cut the grease from the peanut butter.

By the way, mayonnaise is what you use when your kid has head lice and nothing else will get rid of them.

What seems to be the major concern? What was the result from the hot water? Too oily? Try patting cornstarch on the hair. NOT into it, onto it. Then shampoo, Prell might work best but can be too drying so afterwards you might need a conditioner.

[FairOpinion]

I don't have a clue, but I did a Google search and what little I found also suggested, as some here, to use dishwashing liquid.

Put dishwashing liquid in a bowl, have him soak his head, wash, rinse, repeat. He may have to do this a number of times, depending on the amount of peanut butter in the hair.

[HairOfTheDog]

Ants.

Put ants on his head. They'll like the peanut butter.

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

It ain't PB in his hair - and that's as far as I'm goin'...

[MJY1288]

Vegetable Oil or Baby oil will break down Peanut Butter as well as Gum

[NonValueAdded]

Wasn't there a Simpson's episode about this? What ever you choose to do, capture it on video and you are sure to make a small fortune later. Meanwhile, try axle grease for its solvent properties ... no, wait ... WD-40 (I just noticed some stucco men using it to clean up the soffits of a house going up in the neighborhood). Just keep away from the woodstove when doing it ... unless the camera is rolling :)

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

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.

[LonePalm]

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.
