I know I'm probably in the wrong place but my 2yr old has wax in his hair from a pumpkin lantern. What is the easiest way to get it out?

Cut it out (carefully [hsmile])

I would agree with cutting.

On fabric ironing it through brown paper works. Had it been an adult would have tried brown paper plus ghds.....

if you put greaseproof paper over it and use straighteners it will prob take it out.

i just realised she's 2 and that's pretty dangerous. Haircut?

kitchen roll + hairdryer?

Thanks all will probably just cut it. :)

I'd say hairdryer too.

Best way to get crayon off the wall anyway!
