I would also try something like rubbing alcohol for that. Have you tried peeling it off her back? Some clear glue will peel off plastic easily. I would be carful peeling it from the hair, as it might damage it. Good luck with it :)

The back glue was really easy to peel off! Some on her head too!

Here is the progress:

I turned on the hottest water in my bathroom sink and have the pony head attached to a toothbrush end and secured the bristles with a cup to hold it in place. The pony head is soaking, hair only mainly, and I plan to leave it there for most of the day with checking on the hair periodically.

Another Update!

I found the acetone my mom has and added some on the shopping list for her. I am trying to separate RD's mane down the middle of it and sectioning the colors out. I have been using a cotton pad and taking a little bit of her mane and soaking the acetone on a cotton pad to her mane a little bit as of two days ago. I plan to work on her later today.

I think it is clear glue, not hot glue. Do you think clear glue will soften with hot heat from a hair dryer?

Quick Update:

I tried doing an acetone and toothbrush in a Pyrex measuring cup. It didn't do much, but I saw little chunks of glue coming out of her mane.

I would have said try hot water first, I think that what your doing is exactly what I'd have done too.  I'm sorry I can't think of anything else. Afterwards I'd also wash the plastic treated with acetone with hand soap and some warm waters, then maybe add a drop of mineral oil or baby oil to help re-condition the plastic.

Thank you! I might try that! :)

I am updating again!:

I gave up on the acetone and just decided to snip it all off. She has a buzz cut mane and I am trying to pull out all of the little excess hair in her mane plugs. I know it will take more than one day, and plan to be done by next week.
