Sticky Stuff

Hi Friends, Since I came home from the hospital I have noticed some "sticky stuff" in a small area of my hair at the hairline. I really only notice it when my hair is wet, and am assuming they taped something to my head during surgery and it left behind this awful residue. Yesterday I went to get my hair trimmed, and while the stylist was combing my hair, she noticed it too, and it looks like my hair was even cut or broken in that area, because it is much shorter there than it used to be. They must have ripped off tape and taken my hair with it! Anyone else have this stuff in their hair?? It's been a month, so I don't think it is going to wash out... guess it will just have to stay there until it grows out or I decided to cut it. Just curious... it's kinda funny and irritating at the same time. And, if anyone has any remedies for getting this stuff out, please let me know! Stacy

Wow that sounds yucky. You could try goo-gone to get it out. You could use finger nail polish remover if it was just on your skin but that might dry out your hair too much. Good luck. I was getting tape residue off me forever. I still have marks (scars) on my arm where I was allergic to the tape. Michelle in SoCal

I didnt have anything on my head but I had a zillion sticky spots on my arms chest back etc. I used goo-b-gone and it took it right off.

Thanks guys! I never thought of using goo-gone, but I have some, so I will give it a try. Stacy
