My daughter got gum stuck in her hair and my mom told me to take an ice cube, rub the gum until hard and pick it out and it worked.

Hi J.
Give peanut butter a try. Glob it on in the gum spot and massage in, gently comb out.

Hello Jessica,

I am a mother of 3 (15-boy, 10 & 6 - both girls)

From my experience I've learnt that pouring some baby oil on the stuck spot, then combing out the hair with a fine-teeth comb.

Trust me, if that doesn't work, then it got t be nipped!

Rub peanut butter in her hair, the gum should slide right off.

ALthough messy...PEANUT BUTTER works great! Just as long as noone has a peanut allergy.

work a bunch of peanutbutter into the spot where the gum is and comb that spot alittle bit at a time. I've had very good success with this.
