I got online to google "how do you get Gak out of hair" and found this....we tried the Goo Gone and it worked in my daughter's long hair. Thank goodness!! What NASTY stuff that is, we won't be buying it again. Yuck.

Gak out of hair
We just took a huge amount out with a lot of warm running water and a comb and a lot of patience. Nothing else necessary!Comment

Getting gak out of hair
Butter people. The trick is butter, it comes out.....I swear. My daughter got gak in her hair yesterday. I rubbed butter in with the gak and scraped little by little. Took about a hour but it finally came out yay!! I just couldn't cut her hair off.Comment

My granddaughter had dried slime in her hair, and her mother tried everything she could think of. I had a sample of industrial hand cleaner called Bombshell (company is Sunrise), that I tried on it. I left in on for about five minutes, then combed through it in small sections. It did a great job. Bombshell, and other similar products, can be found at any pipe supply store.Comment

I know this is an old thread but my ds just went to a Mad Science birthday party where he made his own "Gak" (slime). They recommended glycerin to remove it. It can be found in the health and beauty department.Comment

It might just be startch and water, thats what we used in my curriculum class to make cheap gak/gunk (only $3). It dries really fast when left alone but melts in your hands.
I think it would probably be the same as getting dried gum out, some home remidies for gum out of hair:
Cocoanut, veggie, olive or baby oil
Butter
Peanut-butter or peanut oil (if she is not allergic)
Mayo
Toothpase
Ice
"Goo begone" (its used to get sticker/gum resedue off of hard services)Comment

Solution found- u need running cold tap over the gak and tease it out with your fingernails - it takes a little while but works especially well with wet gak and doll hairComment

Old post, but ideas are always good!
Don't know if this would work on Gak.....but years ago I worked for a store that sold sculptured glass. Some of the pieces were hot glued onto mirrors to make them shine. If we wanted to change a piece of glass and mirror, all we did was spray Windex on it and it came right off. I wonder if Windex would have the same effect on Gak as it does on hot glue blobs?!Comment

Solution found
So this just happened to my niece and we used scented Finger nail polish remover pads and it stripped the goo out of her hair. works fast too.Comment

Dawn dish soap and patience. I started from the side and slid the gook slowly down the hair while it was lathered in Dawn dish soap. Took a little while but we were able to get it all out.Comment

How to remove gook without abrasives
Eureka!
It goes against logic, but squeeze the gook INTO the hair and strain out to the ends. It comes out, saving hair, clothing and skin from chemicals. And relatively quick and efficient.Comment

I applied almond butter to the gakky stuff, and it didn't work. Then I poured white vinegar over the almond butter/gak, and it melted away.
combed it out, washed and conditioned, and GONE!
Be careful of the stinging effects of vinegar dripping on delicate skin or scrapes, ouch.Comment
