Tutorial - as promised

As promised here is a How To: complete with photos.

When one's child "accidentally" applies petroleum jelly as hair gel - you get this: (at least she was in the bathroom, but the gel was in the crib with diaper stuff)

 Of course it's dinner time, getting close to bed time and the baby will be crying.....

 And several attempts to just wash it out and a day later, you get "the wet look" and desperately check Google for help!!!  I found what I needed - at least the instructions. All I needed was Olive oil and dish soap.

Seems easy, but no olive oil.........what to do - walk across the street to my neighbor, whom I sort of know and occasionally talk too - every other month....explained the situation as she laughed and gave me some olive oil. Back I went to try it out - what's the worst that could happen - her hair couldn't end up more greasy. :)

 Cute isn't she?!

1. Soak your hair completely in olive oil.
   
   
2. Scrub the olive oil into your hair with your hands.
   
   
3. Apply dish-washing liquid; it should cover your hair. Don't use dish washer type, use the kind for manual washing.
   
   
4. Scrub the dish-washing liquid into your hair.
   
   
5. Wash your hair out completely.

 6. Apply conditioner to your hair if you like. 
 7. Enjoy your petroleum-jelly-free hair.

I tried at least 4 times, but I missed the first part about soaking the hair in the olive oil since I didn't have much to start with, I was trying to spare some for later. :) By day 3, we were back to this - just in time for a Halloween party and family pics of the kids.
