She's got eczema, so I didn't to do anymore at once in fear of drying out her skin. Sigh.

Her hair is so greasy with Aquaphor (tried dawn alone 3 times, lathers nicely, but doesn't touch the grease! What about those birds in crude oil?) So I hope the baking powder trick works because now the lice treatment won't adhere to the hair! Fingers crossed! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9663562.post-33698775588834780242013-09-30T07:14:03.962-05:002013-09-30T07:14:03.962-05:00Thank you so much for this, I have 3 kids, and aft...Thank you so much for this, I have 3 kids, and after reading all the comments am shocked that it has not happened to me yet...(with the kiddos that is). I have had bouts of skin cancer and just opted to have laser surgery to remove all the precancerous from my face. I have to apply aquaphor every 3 hours. I have washed my hair 5 times with dawn and it has just evenly distributed the aquaphor throughout! Can you clarify if you are using baking powder or baking soda?? Cause I have both. Going to hide my tub of aquaphor from the kids immediately!!!

So into the tub we went and I was armed with Dawn dish liquid. After her hair should have been dry, it still looked wet and it feels gross!

I kept hearing him prance across the floor but didnt think much of it. Until I went up and saw him greasing his hair down!!! I FREAKED out. He had used up the entire container. He not only gave lubed himself up but left little "crumbs" of lotion along the floor. I have washed his hair a handful of times...now I am going to try this!

I got so sunburnt on my scalp this past weekend and two of my coworkers insisted that I put aquaphor in on my scalp to cure my itchy, flaky, RAW scalp. :/ So i did. (rookie move) I found myself this morning after three dawn washes with the greasiest hair ever and i have plans tomorrow and saturday. You have no idea how much I love you for this blog right now. haha.
