Gum, we chew it and throw it away, some people swallow it YUK. Sometimes we step on it or worse get it stuck in our hair. Most everyone has been through this dilemma. Your first temptation may be to cut the hair, DON’T!
The BEST way to remedy this situation is actually quite simple.space
All You'll Needspace
1. Peanut butter - smooth not crunchy
2. Hair clips - ignore this for very short hair
The Step-by-Stepspace
Step 1 Getting the rest of the hair out of the way
Pull the unaffected hair away from the area and secure with a hair clip. This will allow you to focus on the area with the gum in it.space
Step 2 Getting Started
Apply a liberal amount of peanut butter to the effected area, extending out about a quarter of an inch, making sure to cover all of the gum.space
Step 3 Loosening The Gum
Gently rub the area between your thumb and fingertips. The gum will begin to loose its 'stickiness' and, depending on the gum type, may begin to pull apart or 'crumble'.space
Step 4 Removing The Gum
Slowly begin pulling the gum from the hair. It will remove fairly easily.space
Step 5 The Clean Up
Wash the effected area with shampoo to remove the peanut butter. No traces of the gum should remain.
Tips
• For more stubborn gum, apply more peanut butter, gently working it downward - always work from the problem area out to the tips.
• Also works for removing some other candy products
• Works well removing gum from other things.
Caution
* Be sure that the oils in the peanut butter won't cause other issues on clothes
