Petroleum Jelly - In HAIR! HELP

[Blackduck]

Yesterdays parenting lesson was 'just how far can a jar of petroleum jelly go'?
Have cleaned the window, salvaged the carpet, thrown out a coupld of books, figured some kind of natty boarder will save the ruined curtains
BUT how the hell do I get the stuff out of ds's hair!!
Have washed (twice) and combed it, anyone got any further suggestions...

My dd did something similar and it took quite a few washes for it to come out. I think in the end I had some cradle cap shampoo at her for the time and that seemed to work a bit better than ordinary baby shampoo.
Not much help I know, sorry. It just took time.

Try putting the shampoo on first, before you wet his hair, hopefully that should do the trick.

Thanks C and M...will try....knew ds wouldn't have been the only child to have done this
anyone else got any tips?

my DS covered himself in sudocrem one day and that was hard to get off too!
