How to remove crystal mud from hair

If crystal mud gets on your hair, you can apply alcohol, rub and comb it, and the crystal mud will fall off after a while; you can also squeeze some toothpaste on your hair, so that the crystal mud will lose its stickiness and fall off when it comes into contact with the toothpaste; applying some Vaseline on the hair stained with crystal mud is also a good way.

If you don't have any of these, the simplest way is to soak the part of your hair with crystal mud in hot water. The crystal mud will soften, and then use a comb with denser teeth to slowly comb the crystal mud off. It's best to rinse the comb in water after combing, because the crystal mud becomes slippery when it comes into contact with water and will not stick to the comb. It will be clean after combing it a few more times.

Finally, wash your hair with shampoo, hot vinegar or ginger, and then rinse with warm water. However, if the crystal mud sticks to the hair too much, you can only use scissors to cut off the hair with crystal mud.

What is crystal mud made of?

Crystal mud is made of sodium alginate, calcium chloride, preservatives, and pigment powders of various colors.

Put a certain amount of sodium alginate, calcium chloride, preservatives, and pigment powders of various colors into a container, and pour in water with a temperature of about 60 degrees. After adding water and stirring thoroughly, let it soak for 24 hours, it will dissolve into a paste. After the water is dried up, put it into a plastic bag to get crystal mud.

How is crystal made?

Tools and materials: 10 grams of borax, a bottle of Deli 7303 glue (120ML), blue and purple food coloring, silver and other colored glitter powder, a cup, two plastic bowls, and disposable chopsticks or spoons for stirring.

How to operate

01. Prepare the materials.

02. Put borax at the bottom of the cup, pour a small amount of warm water into the beaker, and stir thoroughly to dissolve the borax as much as possible.

03. Take some glue and put it in a plastic bowl. You can use the glue bottle cap as a measuring container. Then, pour in an equal amount of water (still using the glue bottle cap). Remember, the ratio is 1:1. Don't add too much or too little water. Stir.

04. Add a drop of blue pigment, a pinch of silver and blue glitter powder to the mixture of glue and water. Stir, stir again, to make sure the pigment, glitter powder, glue and water are evenly mixed together, and do not let them clump together.

05. Slowly pour the borax solution into the glue mixture. When the borax solution is slowly poured into the plastic bowl, the glue in the plastic bowl changes. Keep stirring until it is absorbed.

Will crystal mud harden?

1. If the crystal mud becomes hard, you can use a hair dryer to slowly soften it with hot air. The operation is relatively simple. The reason why the crystal mud becomes soft is that the hot air blown by the hair dryer reaches the softening temperature of the crystal mud, so it makes the crystal mud soft.

2. You can use the hot water soaking method, pour boiling water into the hardened crystal mud, wait for a few minutes, and the crystal mud will become soft. This is because a large amount of heat causes the water molecules to move violently, and after soaking, it is easy to enter the gaps in the crystal mud molecular chain, making the crystal mud soft.

3. For ordinary crystal mud to become hard, you can directly soak it in cold water or tap water, so that the hardened crystal mud can be softened. However, it is best to flatten the crystal mud or make it uneven when soaking, so that the surface area of ​​the crystal mud can be increased, which will make the crystal mud soften faster. This is because crystal mud is generally some materials with strong hydrophilicity or water absorption, and it is very easy to soften when it comes into contact with water, so this method is very feasible.
