Our doctor's office recommended using Vaseline. You apply it all over the head and hair, wrap with Saran Wrap for twelve hours and then wash the hair. Of course, you will need to use dish soap to get it out. Everyone who did this said it worked. Also helps when you get them clean is to put a little vaseline along the hairline as the little buggers can't attach themselves with the Vaseline there. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Try vaseline as well sm
A derm guy once said not to waste money on fancy stuff, so a few nights with socks, gloves and Vaseline helps. I know about the heels, ruins my blankets, etc., not to mention socks or stockings! Not too romantic but who cares!
You can see if they will like Vaseline off your finger.
Yup, regular old petroleum jelly. Some animals will lap it up like a treat. Or you can scrape it off your finger onto the roof of the mouth and they can just deal with it, LOL. (The guy who invented it ate a tbsp a day and lived to be about 90).
There are also cat foods that are specially designed for hairball elimination.

Use Dove bar soap to get the Vaseline out.
My daughter got into a jar of Vaseline when she was two years old. My pediatrician suggested Dove bar soap. It worked like magic! Hope this helps.
