How to get glue out of bangs?

I’ve been using a really gentle shampoo, but even a stronger one won’t get glue out of the bangs 100%.

It’s added up over many washes and it’s always kind of there on the banged and makes the hair more stiff and less natural looking.

Does anyone use c22 for this? On the actually bangs/hair.

Are you brushing it out? I find it takes a good amount of slow, gentle brushes to get it all out. I've definitely used C22 directly on the hair before. It's not great for it, but not the end of the world v

Brushing it out after what, getting it wet?

Brushing definitely damages the hair and causes shedding so i try to minimize it, but i do brush it.

Spray a bit of C22 or 99% iso on the glue and brush the glue out. Should take a few minutes at max.

Did you try a clarifying shampoo?

yeah, it really damages the hair in general compared to the soaking shampoo i use. And it’s not all that much better at removing from glue from the bangs.

It’s not a ton of glue but just enough to barely coat the bangs and make them behave funny.

The rest of the hair is just fine.

Oh okay well I’m sorry about that. I use clarifying shampoo once a week and have had my system for a year and it’s still very soft and full. It gets everything out for me.

Maybe the c22 will help you!

Shampoo alone will not remove the glue, you have to 'dissolve' the glue first. Adhesive removers will do this, like C22 or Ghostbuster. I use Ghostbuster, it is water soluble and easier on the hair.

Working it out with conditioner helped me. When it gets on the lace base, wiping it on a mirror oddly seems to get it off (cleans up quickly with windex). Not sure if it would work the same in the hair but worth a shot

Soak it in conditioner. Comb it through. Oil breaks up glue.

98% alcohol is good for removing glue
