Any experience or advice of how to remove?!?!
I have googled and some people suggest dish soap. I am loathe to do anything too irritant to eyes as he is a nightmare when I wash his hair anyway (full on screaming and hysterics). The most favourable thing I have come across so far is putting talcum powder in to help absorb the grease and basically repeat! Arghhh!!  ------------- Caroline, SAHM to 2 boys, S (4 years old) and J (2 years old)

Steps For Removing Vaseline From The Hair
STEP 1: Take a paper towel and blot as much of the Vaseline from the hair as possible onto the paper towel. Do not rub as this can damage the hair. Blot and pat carefully. STEP 2: Apply a little cornstarch or cornmeal powder (do not use baby powder as it can be harmful to the lungs) to the sections of the hair that contains the Vaseline. Blot or pat the cornstarch onto the hair. Again, do not rub. Make sure that the entire area of Vaseline is covered with a light amount of the cornstarch or cornmeal powder. STEP 3: Once the hair has been completely covered step into a warm, not hot, shower. Apply a good clarifying shampoo to the palms of your hand and then apply to the hair. hehe me and my brother used to put vaseline in our hair for a styling product  ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
