Step 1
Wet the hair and apply conditioner to the glue-covered area.
Step 2
Cover the hair with a towel, and allow the conditioner to soak into the hair for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Comb through the hair with a fine-tooth comb, dislodging the glue from the strands of hair.
Step 4
Rinse the conditioner out of the hair.
Step 5
Use baby oil if the conditioner does not work. Repeat the same process as above, and allow the oil to sit for 20 minutes on the hair before combing.
