    Default ouch! i got wax in my hair! how do i get it out?

    I'm lucky I didn't blind myself because it got all over my face and burned my eyelid. Ugh. I put aloe vera on that, but there's still a huge clumpy tangle of microwave (no-tweeze - the kind with rosin in it) wax in my hair. How on earth do I get it out? I've tried rubbing it with oil and running hot water over it, but that just makes it softer & spread over more hair. yuck.

    oh god I've done exactly the same thing! I don't remember how I got it out. I seem to recall it was a gradual process, like getting it off bit by bit. My eyelids had sort of a funny texture to them for a while and my makeup looked funny where I burned them.

    yeah i think my face is going to look funny for a while, lol. i'm glad i'm not the only one who's done it

    oh oh and my solution: flat iron + a ton of spray oil sheen stuff + more flat ironing + running a paper towel over it. It really straightened the hell out of it - it's so straight and shiny there, and I think all the wax is out. although I probably should have waited until my hair was all dry. oh well.

    edit:
    btw - spray oil sheen? is 1 million times better than frizz ease on coarse hair. swear to god

    ^hmm, there's no wax in my hair, but I just may have to try that spray oil sheen. Sounds pretty good.
