Hair & gum

what gets gum off hair without damaging it

I found this on a website.

First seperate all the hair that does not have gum in it, if it is long hair use a rubber band to hold the unaffected hair out of the

way. For short use clips.

Rub a generous ammount of peanut butter onto the gum, try not to get any more hair into the gum, working just the gum, gently rub in circular motion, you will feel the gum begin to get stringy as it begins to disolve.

Gently pull the gum strings out of the hair, if they dont come out easy rub more peanut butter into it,

Using your fingernails grasp a few hair strands between your fingers and slide them down the hair, the gum will slide right down if it has had enough peanut butter to disolve it

When you feel like you have removed all of the gum put a few drops of shampoo on the piece of hair you have been working with, rub gently and wipe off with a wet cloth or a baby wipe.

my friend once told me that this happened to her and she used peanutbutter I think it was.strange method but it worked out for her.

Peanut butter softens the gum and breaks down the stickiness.
Ice helps to make it brittle and then it will break out in small pieces.

I heard peanut butter helps

Apply peanut butter for few minutes and remove the gum from the hair using a comb

You can also use olive oil, canola oil.

another method is to apply ice (in a plastic bag) for about 20 minutes. The chewing gum can be easily broken off

Yes, I did hear from a random person that peanut butter helps get gum out of your hair. I dont know why she told me that, but I pondered it for a while. Not like I am going to try it though, I'm allergic! XD
