Nail Polish Stuck In Your Hair

by: Damien R. von Dahlem / Hairstyles Magazine

This one is rather straight forward. First isolate the hairs with polish on them from the non affected hair. Soak a cotton swab in nail polish remover and gently stroke the affected hairs until the polish is gone. Once the polish is removed, keep the hairs isolated until the polish remover has been neutralized with water.

After you shampoo the hair, be sure to use a cream rinse or a good conditioner to close down the hair cuticle from the damage caused from the polish and the remover.

It is possible that the polish remover will slightly discolor the hair and if the area is large and visible, may require a professional color job to mask the damage.
