What to do if chewing gum gets stuck on your hair

If you are not careful, chewing gum may stick to your hair. Chewing gum is sticky and thick, and it is difficult to clean it once it sticks to your hair, which is very frustrating. At this time, you can use some tips to quickly remove the chewing gum. For example, if you have vegetable oil at home, you can apply it on the chewing gum, then wait for two or three minutes, and then use a comb to gently clean the chewing gum off.

What to do if chewing gum gets on your hair? 1. Peanut butter 1. Buy a bottle of peanut butter. The more oil it contains, the better. 2. Apply peanut butter to the hair where the gum is stuck. Or use a toothbrush to mix the gum and peanut butter, which is cleaner and quicker than using your fingers. When applying, use larger movements and apply outwards. If necessary, find a larger spoon and place it under your hair so that you have a flat surface to rest on while you apply the peanut butter. 3. After the gum melts, spread some peanut butter on it. The ultimate goal is to use the oil in the peanut butter to dissolve the gum. 4. Wipe off the peanut butter with a dry towel. At this point, the gum will be wiped off along with the peanut butter. Note that the fresher the gum is, the easier it will be to remove. 5. Finally, wash your hair with shampoo.

Method 2: Silicone Conditioner 1. Spray some Silicone Conditioner and wait for 30 minutes to let it slowly take effect on the chewing gum. 2. Gently use a comb to comb out the chewing gum. 3. Lather your hair vigorously with shampoo, then wash your hair. Method 3: Cooking oil 1. Find any cooking oil (olive oil, rapeseed oil, vegetable oil) and apply it on the hair stained with chewing gum and wait for two or three minutes. 2. Use a comb to gently comb off the chewing gum. 3. Wash your hair with shampoo.

Method 4: Ice 1. Soak your hair in salt water first. Salt water can lower the melting point of ice, making it easier to remove chewing gum from your hair. 2. Put some ice cubes in water and freeze your hair for 15 minutes. 3. Peel off the gum. The frozen gum will harden and can then be broken into pieces. Method 5: Vaseline 1. Apply Vaseline on the hair that is stained with chewing gum. 2. Get a wide-tooth comb. Comb away the gum and most of the Vaseline. 3. Wash your hair with shampoo. For this step, you can refer to the guide called "How to Remove Vaseline from Hair." Method 6, Adhesive Tape Remover 1. Buy a bottle of adhesive tape remover. Any adhesive tape remover sold at a drug store will work. 2. Use your fingers to apply the tape remover to the area stained with gum. 3. Wipe off with a tissue. This method can also be used to remove chewing gum from clothing.
