Peanut butter. Then, of course, you just have to gt the peanut butter out, but a regular washing will take care of that.

Cut your hair. Or you could shampoo it for like an hour.

Try baby-oil. Usually oil will break down anything. Lf you have ever seen products such as "Goo-Gone," its main ingredient is oil. Good-Luck

Penut butter!!1

1. Put ice cubes in a plastic bag.

2. Apply ice cubes to gum until gum freezes and hardens.

3. Gently break gum away from the hair.

4. If the freezing method fails, apply a small amount of nontoxic oil, such as canola or olive oil, to hair around gum and to gum itself.

5. Massage oil into hair and gum; leave for 20 minutes.

6. Gently comb out gum. It should slide out easily. If it doesn't, repeat the process.

Peanut butter

Personal experiance

peanut butter works well.

try putting peanut butter or Chips ( potato ) and squeeze it on the gum. it will melt.

try chewing it out ;)!

Acetone (nail polish remover)

Be very careful with this method since it it is highly flammable (catches on fire very easily).

You get peanut butter and rubb it all over the spot that has the peanut butter. The only bad part about it is that it takes a while and you ahve to rubb it in all good.

"swarfegar" is a hand cleaner used for getting grease and all sorts off your hands.. i have used this to get chewing gum out of clothes and hair .. it even works on delicate fabrics.

If it's a little bit, it might not hurt you to cut it out but if you go t it all over your head or its a big piece, try peanut butter and I heard that shaving cream helps if the peanut butter doesn't.

ice, freeze the gum and it should slide right out, or i've heard peanut butter? i'm not sure how that works but thats just what i've heard.

Peanut Butter works. But it might be better just to cut it.

Some peanut butters seem to work better than others. The more natural ones work best. I think all the extra preservatives and hydrogenated oil dont have the same effect as old fashioned peanut butter.

I got a HUGE wad out that my daughter fell asleep chewing with Skippy Natural. It worked WAY better than the last time I tried with the other kind.

try rubbing crisco or peanutbutter into it. and pray! lol gl
