Removing ear infection wax from hair!

[tootiredtocaretoday]

Hello out there, my dd has lovely long hair, which is not fun mixed with an ear infection.
Anyone have any magic tips for removing said wax from her hair?! Soap and water isn't working alas ☹️ thanks

If it was clothes, I would sandwich it between sheets of kitchen roll, then iron the sandwich, moving the kitchen roll as it became saturated with melted wax. Could you do something similar with straighteners instead of an iron?

And plait her hair at night.

Thanks! It's really close to her ear so not sure I could get close enough but thanks for the idea 😀

What about putting a hottie on it, then? Might soften the wax enough to blot it out?

I will try, thanks! She isn't letting me anywhere near it at the mo, but will gently try when in her bath 😀
