Oh Glue-by, Glue-by: How to Escape a Sticky Hair Situation Like a Boss
So, you've found yourself in a bit of a sticky situation. Literally. You embraced your inner arts and crafts enthusiast a little too enthusiastically, and now your hair is sporting an unwelcome guest – a stubborn glob of bond glue. Don't panic! This isn't the end of your luscious locks (though it might be the end of your crafting career in the bathroom). Fear not, fellow follicular fashionistas, for I come bearing the secrets to untangling this gluey mess, all with a healthy dose of humor to keep us from crying into our conditioner bottles.
How To Get Bond Glue Out Of Hair |
Step 1: Acceptance (and Maybe a Lil' Laughter)
First things first, take a deep breath and acknowledge the absurdity of the situation. We've all been there – the rogue glue stain on our favorite shirt, the superglue incident with a prized Lego model (don't judge, we all have our crafting kryptonite). Let out a good chuckle, because hey, at least you have a story to tell at your next hair salon visit (prepare for some serious side-eye from your stylist though).

Step 2: Assessing the Sticky Foe
Now that you've composed yourself, take a good look at the glue situation. Is it a small dot or a full-on Medusa situation? Important: Resist the urge to just rip it out. This will only lead to tears, frustration, and possibly a bald spot. We're going for a gentle removal, folks.

Step 3: The Oil of Redemption (or Your Kitchen Cabinet)
Our secret weapon in this glue war? Oil! Think of it as a hair superhero's cape, shimmering and oh-so-effective. Coconut oil, olive oil, even baby oil (hey, desperate times call for desperate measures) will work their magic by breaking down the glue's hold on your precious strands. Massage the oil generously into the affected area, treating yourself to a mini scalp massage while you're at it. You deserve it after this ordeal.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.![]()
Pro Tip: Warm the oil slightly for extra glue-dissolving power. Just don't microwave it – a quick zap in a pan on the stove will do the trick.

Step 4: The Great Detangling Adventure
Let the oil work its magic for a good 30 minutes to an hour. Patience is key, grasshopper. Once time is up, grab a wide-tooth comb and prepare to embark on a detangling adventure. Be gentle! Treat your hair like it's made of spun gold (because, hey, it kind of is). Start at the ends and slowly work your way up, removing any stubborn glue bits with your fingers.
Extra Stubborn Glue? Don't despair! Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the glue is a distant memory.
Step 5: The Post-Gluey Glory
Finally, free from the clutches of the evil glue, it's time to wash your hair with a gentle shampoo and deep conditioner. Think of it as a post-traumatic stress treatment for your hair. It's been through a lot, so give it some extra TLC.
And there you have it! You've emerged victorious from the glue wars, your hair (hopefully) still intact. Remember, this experience can be a valuable life lesson: keep your glue far, far away from your fabulous mane. But hey, if it does happen again (because, let's be honest, who hasn't had a second crafting mishap?), you'll be a certified glue-removal pro, ready to tackle any sticky situation with grace (and maybe a little laughter).
