If you have a fine tooth comb, similar style to removing lice, keep it nearby. Otherwise just mix it really well and hope for the best

Unless you are complete masochists, flour and water should be avoided like the plague!
Have you ever heard of flour and water paste? It's a type of glue.
I have seen it used (despite warnings) on a warm day on a professional shoot, and several hours were lost while the girls struggled to get it out of their hair. Ask Gilly, she'll remember that one.
Please, please, use something else unless you want to really p*ss off your missus and jeopardise further sessions.

Mike.

I woiuldn't be quite as negative as that.

Ready-made cake matter (the mixes available in shops and C&Cs) are fine cos they have egg in as well so don't coagulate. Flour and water alone does tend to get lumpy and has to be kept wet so you can comb it out. Let it dry (as in using it outdoors on a warm day) and it is a nightmare. It certainly isn't the best, easiest thing to use in that form. The "Just add Water" sponge mixes from Cash and Carries are fine though.

Peanut butter does a pretty good job of removing it, but if it's just simple flour and water you are talking about then don't go there.

Is it me or is Clown Julie becoming the Nigella Lawson of Splosh? Just as long as she doesn't do a Delia and start singing drunk, then again that might be fun LOL!

Try Ready Brex and add food colour makes great gunge (see Messy Vampkins pics) and you just add warm water so its not too cold and can mix to the consistency you prefer. Good luck whatever you decide to use.

What i use is either Sainsbury, Tesco or Asda own brand batter mix at 10p a packet

Whisk one egg per packet into the mix with the water. I then add roughly 15ml of olive oil into the mix and whisk it in before adding any poster paint colour. This prevents any lumps in the hair.

If you are unfortunate an dont mix it right SMOOTH Peanut Butter rubbed into the hair, left for 15 mins then shampood out usually does the trick

I think miss B should benefit from Tesco's own angel delight in choclate and strawberry flavour, mixed with water make great pies Chaseylayne76 can testify to that and it was easy to wash out her hair for work on a monday morning lol
