Hey all! New here, so sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I've been into WAM for a while and always have had a fantasy of completely ruining my hair (to the point where it takes hours to get out or need to be cut off) and now seems like the perfect timing to go for it. I'm cutting my hair short to grow out an undercut, so if all needs to go after, there's no better time. I'm okay with scrubbing myself raw after to get everything off if needed too. I want to regret it as I'm cleaning up. My ideas currently:

1) Scrambled eggs. Work them in good raw, take a hair dryer to it (or just turn the bath hot), and sauce/ bean myself good afterwards, breaking up some of the eggs with it. Curious if I could get the eggs to cook on the rest of me too.

2) Make dough in it. Love a good flour paste, but always found it a shame that I had to be careful how much I played with my hair with it on. Also a great excuse to use some spoilt milk and pretend I'm a little dumpling in need of stuffing. Not sure what else to do with this one after I make myself into dough. Thinking of going either full dumpling and getting some pet food, creamy soups, and gravy or "I am the pie now" with some filling and custard.

I can't really think of a way to do this with sweets since all it takes with those is some hot water to get it off. Even a thick fluffing or golden syrup just melts off. And anything non food I can think of seems like a safety hazard. Mud is my favorite, but can't see how to do anything this extreme with that either.

Looking for any other suggestions. Really just wanna play with some different textures and take the thick sticky mess to the next level while I have the chance.

I'm sure being new your not comfortable with at least a pic of your hair so we all know the canvas were working with... although I'm keen on the dough idea maybe find someway to make gum or just straight up use gum lol...im really at a loss with this and I'm a messy hair guy

" Looking for any other suggestions. Really just wanna play with some different textures and take the thick sticky mess to the next level while I have the chance."

Alright here's an ideal melted gummy bears!!!!

You can coat each color and boil them than plaster your hair with them. Not sure if it would hurt your hairline so please don't do it if it could other suggestions included


Paint (acrylic)
Gunge messysupplies
Coconut cream with lemonade
Gum that's melted (be cautious on hairline) this would be really cool
Mineral oil with honey first (thinking of pics I've scene from the past) Blake little style

I used old fryer grease one time and regretted it. I like gross shampoos too, and have received a few of them over the years. Dough always wreck your hair, and I love the scrambled eggs idea. The hair dryer will cook them eventually. Overall dough is one of my favorite substances to get messy with. If it wasn't so hard to wash off I'd use it more often.

Im pretty sure chewed bubble gum will destroy your hair, and I know from experience that the weird foam paint they use on car windows will force you to cut it off.

Have fun and good luck!

I think sadly melted gummy bears would be out. One too many burns doing sugar work baking. Not sure how hot they'd need to be and I'd like to get some on the rest of me too.

Gum is interesting. I have everything to make a beeswax gum, but I think that hardens too fast. I'd have to get some gum base first, but I'm wondering if coating skin with powdered sugar would be enough to have some fun before it hardens. Or if I could keep it sticky longer using more syrup than needed and work it off later with either a ton of powdered sugar or oil/ peanut butter. I want to be thoroughly wrecked too, but this might be too thorough lol. The others at least dry if I'm still picking little bits off of me a few days later.

Heavily leaning towards dough. I know how to play with the texture of it, and I know what I'm getting into with cleanup. And dough is just fun. I'll try the eggs if it survives. I have to be in the mood for savory, and I can't see myself doing this without topping it with some cheese sauce, ketchup, and beans.

Rancid fryer grease straight up would give me bad restaurant work flashbacks... I think that, ranch, and some skunky beer would be enough to break me, and not in a good way.

Not comfortable with pics, but it's a thick wavy long bob now.

marshmallow fluff will do the job well

Bill Shipton from Splosh used to recommend lard shampoos. Not sure if anyone's done one for real and if so what the cleanup was like, but it would certainly be very messy.

I used to do something like this as a legitimate part of my haircare routine when it was long lmao. Crisco and coconut oil, not lard, and probably not in the same amounts. Weighed down the ringlets, but it was a small price to pay for keeping the whole frizzy blonde afro thing at bay and made it a lot easier to detangle. Probably leaves it greasy if you have straight hair, but a wash or two is all you need if you have the right texture (after you get the excess off of it). Sure it's very similar with lard.

I gave model Isla a real lard shampoo in 2019 (Isla White Jeans and Lard Shampoo) it was an attempt to outdo the previous shoot's use of 1kg of margarine. I don't think she found it any more tricky than margarine or butter to wash out. There's so much other stuff involved in my shoots I think a mountain of lard is a drop in the ocean.

My models and previous partners have all endured some level of hair destruction at my hands. Variously to both their delight and disapproval.

Crisco is a good substance because it is super smooth and it gets very creamy if warmed up (try sitting the can in hot water from a faucet). It washes out with some effort, but is easier to get out than my favorite, Vaseline, which I warm up the same way.

Nutella is very nice looking, but difficult to get out. The same for peanut butter. All these thicker substances flow better with a slight warming. Jayce is the expert on using the latter two.

Honey is beautiful if photographed right. I kick myself once every few year because I misplaced a video I took of a woman with great black hair who loved having honey poured in her hair. I have the model release and everything.

Melted gummy bears can be fun, but not what you want - a warm shower takes them out. (You do it safely by microwaving them for 10 seconds at a time, stirring each time, and using them when they are just melted. They then harden, and it's super sticky - it left both of us with little bruises all over from pulling on each other.)

Melted wax is a mess to get out. I've done it both with someone dripping candle wax all over my head and beard (but you need someone with a good height), or melt jar candles in the microwave, just 10 seconds at a time until loose, and play with that. You can also do a lot of jar candles at once putting them into a hot water bath, like a slow cooker. The temp of the water will cap the temp of the melted wax.

As others suggested, if you really want to make a disaster mess, bubble gum will do the trick.

a handful of peanut butter...

I got a nasty case of lupus on my head when I was 15 and I had to remove all my hair and start wearing wigs. I actually did the exact same thing as you and tried to completely ruin it with mess. I did find however it was impossible with everything I tried. Like literally. I soaked in mud and didn't wash for three days but it was fine, I did used motor oil, nothing. Machine lubricant, nope. All the paint I could find in the shed, nothing. Ink from calligraphy, washed fine. I honestly tried about everything I could get my grubby hands on and nothing worked. By the time I got my hair shaved off a month later it was as healthy as ever.

As a girl who's been messy her whole life I've found everything is much more resilient than others say. Leather shoes are very difficult to ruin, I've soaked formal dresses in mud and machine washed them on the heavy duty setting and they came out fine. I've gotten my wool skirts messy with everything imaginable and machine washed them and they have no damage. Hair is even more resilient. If you can find a way to do it I'd love to hear what you did.

Definitely agree. Kinda why I had to ask the experts. I've gotten freaking epoxy out of my hair before when I used to work with composites. Though acetone is not very kind on your hair. If mine was dyed or heat damaged, it probably would have broken off. Used to use wood glue or gelatin to spike up a mohawk and that didn't really screw it up either. I've also gotten bubblegum out a few times. Granted, it was only ever a piece or two. When in doubt, peanut butter and a wet comb fixes everything. Except dried epoxy from trying to push back your already tied back hair.

I honestly can't think of anything. Talking about glue wjen I was in elementary school I dumped like two liters of that white craft glue on my head and let it dry and as far as I can remember my hair was fucked up for a little, but I don't remember any major damage.

My recommendation from my 22 years of being the messiest girl in Japan, I'd put as much stuff in your hair as possible and let it dry. I'd recommend grease, oil, paint, glue, wood stain, silicon, and other non food items. Food washes away but this stuff will not go without a fight.

A couple of other suggestions: liquid bitumen; butyl rubber; moisture curing wood adhesive; expanding insulation foam. I'm recommending these only because they are absolutely the last things I'd recommend using for WAM. Just be careful when you get into construction materials about skin burning/ poisoning via the scalp or other areas of skin.

This is also fetish of mine. I know you aren't destroying your hair for the pleasure of others, but I love to see a head of hair that has taken years of growth, cumulative days of care, and tons of money to maintain get obliterated.

If I were ordering a video, I would love to watch some gradual destruction first--maybe something that strips the shine and makes it frizzy--in a separate video before the final destruction begins.

I'm fact, if somebody is up for this, I'll pay to have your hair and color done very expensively the morning of the destruction.

I always wanted to try working gobs of taffy into my hair. Probably washes out with soap and hot water like you say, but I bet it feels pretty destructive. Haven't been able to wam lately though

Anyone tried fish oil?

...or tallow?

Some years ago I saw pics of a girl with long hair who had it coated with pine tar. After that, she'd no choice but to shave completely bald. I gather she'd known this and did it willingly.

Actually destroying hair is going a little too far for me. It's not so much about the outcome as the process.

The thrill is walking a tightrope between two skyscrapers and making it to the other side by the seat of your pants

rather than just jumping off one of the buildings

The best way to ruin your hair? My suggestion is water and oatmeal. That is practically glue!! I know since I've bathed in it!!

If you use water/oatmeal you probably have to cut off all your hair! If you mix a lot of oil in the mixture, you will be able to save it. (...but then your hair isn't completely ruined.)

Hhhmmm. I don't know what oat meal your using but me and the mrs have done this a few times end washes out fine. Might have a couple pieces left over in her hair but these brush out fine.

When I did it I really had to struggle to get the hair clean, since I had small glue-balls between my hairs, sticking it together. Stronger substances than oatmeal is not something I would like to try.

Any links or pointers?

In spite of its reputation for odour, it's not that bad and easily counteracted with acidic foods like lemon juice and even ketchup. So it's not going to ruin anyone's hair. It will ruin most clothing fabrics though - there's some kind of natural colour fixative in there:

I have a (bad?) habit of eating fish like tuna and sardines straight out of the can. Now, I've made some miraculous WAM shoot clothing saves in the past - but one drip of oil from the fork on a shirt or tee shirt and it's there forever. I've literally whipped them straight off and got the stain digester on and in the wash with the best bio detergent money can buy. But once dry - there it is - forever

I also remember that scene, but think it might even have been pre-UMD days!

Shaving off a full head of hair is a pretty radical step. Like Trouso, I really love taking messy hair to extremes - the challenge being how extreme it can be, while still being able to remove and revert to 'normal', without (significant) hair damage. Of course, many of my salon customers like that exact same approach!

But I can't deny that there's also a lot of appeal in a mess that's so catastrophic, the only option is to remove the hair.

I remembered a previous post from a UMD user, where liquid latex was deployed to that end:





There's also a video: https://umd.net/videos/sacrificing-the-hair-for-a-full-liquidla

I love the look of liquid latex on skin, but it wouldn't be my first choice for 'messy' hair, I have to admit. Cool pics (and game model) nonetheless

Some time ago, Messygirl posted a thread about one of her models being up for a messy head-shave scene - but I don't think anything ever came of it.

I believe these are the pics being discussed:

http://www.sploshuk.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1420&p=15982&hilit=pine#p15982

No pics post shave, so we'll have to take their word for it that it's legit, but that is supposedly pine tar.

Some things are perhaps best left as a legend.

Head shaving might form a crucial part of the 'event' for those who are into that - but it would rarely actually be necessary with anything safe to use. The logic being that if you can remove it from your face - particularly around your eyes - and body then you can almost certainly remove it from hair. Most women would probably rather sacrifice a day on a painstaking hair remedy than sacrifice their actual hair.

The 'tricks' to removing stubborn oily or resinous substances like pine tar are counter-intuitive. The most effective ones involve diluting (mobilising) them first with more oil - but a different kind of oil (like cooking oil) that can be more easily broken down by detergents.
