Do you have an easy effective way to get gum out of hair?
I have heard the old ways to do it, peanut butter, mayonaise, ice...
Do you have any old way (or new) to get gum out of your hair?
How did your mom used to do it?
Please share some experiences with me.

you can use WD 40 or goop off ...but make sure you wash your hair afterward they are both oil based products ...make take a washing or two to remove all the oil but it won't damage your hair...

the only thing i've ever heard of is freezing it with ice then chipping it off. i guess the last resort would be cutting it out.

I can't see cutting the hair I love my hair but I guess if I had to I guess I would.

My mom always used Crisco or shortening on it. She would put it on, rub it in, and it would come right out...then you'd have to go wash your hair a couple times...lol Good Luck!

My hair would probably take more than a couple of times to get it all out, I have naturally oily hair anyway.. TY

By not putting it there in the first place... I would just pull it out, it may take a while but who cares.

Thank you for that. I have tried those, I included it in my discussion... It doesn't work as well as I would like it to... Thank you
