Have you tried cleaning it with alcohol? That usually works well on hair
products.

I use Bon Ami when my soleplate gets gunky.

("Bon Ami is a brand name for a scouring powder that "Hasn't
Scratched Yet".)

Hmm . . . if they don't still use that yellow chick on the
label, it might explain why I haven't been able to find it
lately. Since I use it only for fine cleaning, the last can
still has a little in it, so I haven't been looking *too*
hard.

Bon Ami is easily found here, if you need some let me know. Have a can
under my kitchen sink used for scouring out delicate cookware and other
jobs that need "muscle" but not a sledge hammer.

They still use the chick:

I have a bar of BonAmi that must be 30 years old. Like you, I use it
rarely, but I'm always glad I have it if it's "just the thing for the
job".

Next time she visits... tell her you want to help her with her hair...
Bring out the SHAVER, ironing board, rubber swimming cap and super glue .
Let her know if she wants to use the iron, she has to do it right!

See how big her eyes get...

JUST KIDDING!

However, shaving my son's head prevented him from experimenting with any
more of his sister's dolls... 'But Mom, I thought it would grow back!"
Bald in November... what a shame.

Have you tried vinegar?
