Whether you\u2019re playing with your kids or remodeling your home, paint is often involved. However, accidents happen as well and this leads to the question – How do you get paint out of your hair?<\/p>\n
Especially if you have long and\/or thick hair, getting paint on it can feel like a nightmare. And if you\u2019ve got to hurry to go somewhere, time can be of the essence as well.<\/p>\n
So, what should you do? The first solution most people think of is to use turpentine or mineral spirits, i.e. paint thinners. These can indeed work but are generally not recommended. The reason being that they are way too strong to apply to one\u2019s hair and can strip down your hair dye (if you have any) together with the pain and then damage your hair too.<\/p>\n
Plus, paint thinners tend to smell horribly so they\u2019re not something you\u2019d want to use anyway. All that being said, they do work but it might be easier to just cut off your hair\u2026<\/p>\n
If you want to avoid all that drama, however, there are a couple of other solutions that are much more sparing to the human hair while still working against paint. They do require some extra time in the shower, however, so you\u2019d do well to call off your afternoon plans.<\/p>\n
How to get oil based paint out of hair?<\/h3>\n
The best way to deal with oil based paints is to use olive oil. All you need to do is apply olive oil generously in the affected areas and carefully work out the paint with your fingers and\/or with a fine-toothed comb.<\/p>\n
For larger and solidly dried spills of paint, you can use even more olive oil and wrap your hair with plastic wrap for several hours. This will help the olive oil dissolve the paint and then you should be able to get it out more easily with a fine-toothed comb.<\/p>\n
