How can you remove linseed oil from your hair and scalp?

Answer 1

Honestly I don't think you CAN get linseed oil off of anything. I know people who have found dried linseed oil paint in their hair 2 months (and dozens of showers) after leaving a jobsite. Linseed oil does one thing very well- it permiates and infiltrates most any surface it comes into contact- that is why it is such a good preservative for wood, masonry and even metal. Geting it off your skin is tough enough using paint thinners, turpentine, etc, and really you're just diluting it (oh, and it's being partially absorbed into your skin too).

Answer 2

You can try a heat gun, but linseed oil is very difficult to remove. It depends on your surface, but I know people who have found dried linseed oil paint in their hair 2 months (and dozens of showers) after leaving a jobsite. Linseed oil does one thing very well- it permeates and infiltrates most any surface it comes into contact- that is why it is such a good preservative for wood, masonry and even metal.

Answer 3

youd have to use a solvent such as turpentine, white spirits or other similar product.

Answer 4

Linseed oil is often used as paint brush cleaner or as a medium for creating lotions and body oils. If it is spilled, simply wipe it up and then clean the area with soap and water.

Answer 5

Wash Your head with water
