My granddaughter put diaper ointment with zinc oxide in her head of hair how can we get it out she's only 3?

Oily hairdo: It won't actually cause any harm, so I certainly wouldn't do anything potentially harmful to remove it. A non-toxic shampoo is all I would recommend. Other than that, use barrettes or a ponytail band and add the story to your baby book. Best wishes.
