Vaseline in hair...UPDATE
My 3 year old put almost the whole small container in his hair, as "gel." His hair is caked in it. I tried combing it out, washing it, used dish soap. I think I may have to shave his head. Any suggestions on how to get it out?
Update: 2 washes with Dawn dish soap has taken almost all of the Vaseline out, thank you everyone!!

-Facial Tissues: Use soft tissues to blot the hair to remove as much of the Vaseline as possible.
-Cornstarch or baby powder: Apply a little cornstarch or baby powder to the hair and pat it in to absorb the petroleum jelly. Then shampoo once or twice with a clarifying shampoo. Be sure to use warm water in the shampoo, since cold water congeals the Vaseline.
-Baking soda: Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with a regular baby shampoo, then wash and rinse out. Repeat if necessary.
-Baby oil: Saturate the hair in baby oil, rub it through the hair completely and squeeze out as much as you can. Then wash the hair three times with liquid dish soap and warm water, each time leaving the dish soap on for a few minutes to allow it to work.
-Liquid dish soap with degreaser: Shampoo hair up to several times with dishwashing liquid with a degreasing agent, such as Dawn.
-Liquid laundry detergent: Shampoo hair up to several times with a liquid laundry detergent, such as Wisk.

Which dish soap did you use? I used Dawn when my DD thought it would be a hoot to put A&D ointment in her hair. It came right out.

Dawn really is the best for greasy stuff, even for stains on clothing.

It'll break down and wash out easily if you give it some time.

You're actually the second person I've heard of this week whose child put Vaseline in their hair!
