Apparently, Xandy decided to sneak some of Katy's gum (she was chewing gum when he found her). While in the treat bag she came across the container of Flarp. Curious, she opened the jar. We're still not sure what happened after that, but it ended up all through her hair. After an hour of an angry sick mom trying to comb it our of her hair, without trying to be gentle I might add,we were no closer to having it out than when I had started. Her dad took over, and tried the idea he had suggested at the beginning, that I had ignored. Evidently, it rinses right out with water. So if you ever find a container of Flarp in your child's hair just stick them in the shower and it will rinse right away. Unless, you want to teach them a lesson they won't soon forget. After mom tugging a comb through her hair for over an hour, Xandy will think twice about opening a container of Flarp again!

Attack of the Flarp!
Katy attended a sleep-over and came home with a baggie of treats including bubblegum and a container of Flarp. The next day I got sick and spent the better part of the week in bed. Wednesday evening a friend picked Katy up and took her to activity days. I sent the other kids off to play and settled on the couch for a little nap. Xandy came and asked if she could have some gum from Katy's party bag. After explaining that she could not have her sister's gum without asking first and that Katy would be home in an hour, I sent her on her way to play again. As I closed my eyes and drifted closer to the sleep my body craved, I was awoken by Bella. She was rambling about Xandy having green stuff in her hair. The girls have green hair glitter and though I don't usually like them to play in it I was too sick to care. I figured, hey, if that will keep them busy until Jared gets home more power to them. I laid back down and drifted to sleep. Soon, I was awoken to the sound of Jared coming in. He sat and talked to me before heading back out the door to pick Katy and her friend up from Activity day. About this time I realized the girls had been to quiet upstairs so before Jared left, he went up to check on them. This is what he found..........

That is so funny! And I LOVE the picture!
Oh my gosh you don't know how thankful I am to find this post 4 years after your incident! My husband and I just discovered our 4 year old daughter with half a container of Flarp embedded into her hair, and I was afraid her beautiful long blonde locks were about to become history! I'm sticking her in the shower immediately!
This is my current situation 😢 my daughter decided to "wash her hair" with flarp. I just threw her in the shower with hot water and it was a lot easier than combing. Thank you 😘
We thank you so much!! I was thinking scissors before I found this!! The hot shower worked perfect. It removed an entire jar of Flarp (she had "squished" into her scalp)!
Thank you for this! I just found flarp in my 3yo daughter's hair and threatened clippers. This is much easier!
Use shaving cream it really works just work it in then rinse and repeat.

Thank the Lord I found this! My granddaughter just got a ton of pink Flarp in her hair!!! Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for this post. My nine year old daughter just came it with a glob of Flarp entertwined in the top of her hair. At first I panicked and tried to separate the hair from the Flarp which was pretty much futile. I realized I needed something to break down the Flarp, so I went to the Internet and fortunately found this post. Thank God. This "traumatic" event almost lead to cutting my daughter's beautiful, brown locks. Thank God I didn't cut it before I found this post. :)
I used this post today to get flarp out of my 2 year old son's hair! He has the sweetest little soft blonde curls and I was afraid I needed to cut his hair 😅
