What is the best way to get gum out of your hair?

http://www.nacgm.org/consumer/unstuck.html is a good site with loads of info on gum - Natural solvent extracts from citrus peels often work well to remove gum from hair. Be sure to read all manufacturer's instructions before use. If a citrus peel solvent is not available, mineral oil, cooking oil or peanut butter sometimes work. Add a small amount and kneed the gum with your fingers in order to soften and disperse gum, pull out gradually as gum softens, then rinse with soap and water. These products are helpful, but may leave a residue on the hair and require additional effort to wash hair after gum removal. http://pub73.ezboard.com/fthefrugalshopperfrm27.showMessage?topicID=8.topic Christina wrote, "I find using mayonnaise or peanut butter works great at getting gum out of your hair. Mayonnaise works good on getting gum out of carpeting also." Aug 19 02, 6:54 AM

Put a cube of ice on the gum.It will lose its elasticity and stickiness! Works EVERY time! You can even freeze the gum to the point where you can crack it an break it off in to little pieces!!!!! http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/familylife/ht/removegum.htm http://www.susangaer.com/studentprojects/gum.htm http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/621865/how_to_remove_gum_from_hair.html http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Gum-out-of-Your-Hair Apr 09 08, 9:00 PM
