Standard AW: What does it need to....

What does it need to do, when you have gum in hair? How remove?

Remember all those chunks of hair your mother had to chop when you got gum (Kaugummi) stuck in it? Before you cut your hair or resort to such other drastic measures, try the methods below.
  • 1. Put ice cubes in a plastic bag.
  • 2. Apply ice cubes to gum until gum freezes and hardens.
  • 3. Gently break gum away from the hair.
  • 4. If the freezing method fails, apply a small amount of nontoxic oil, such as canola or oil, to hair around gum and to gum itself.
  • 5. Massage oil into hair and gum; leave for 20 minutes.
  • 6. Gently comb out gum. It should slide out easily. If it doesn't, repeat the process.
  • 7. It dont works with chinese gum! If you have china-gum, you have a problem! Cut the hair, or take a hat (or helmet).

    Another question:
  • -You may want to wrap the ice in a washcloth if it becomes too cold to hold comfortably.
  • -Some hair may break off when you are removing the gum from it.
  • - After the oil method, the gum may be gone, but the oil will remain in the hair for several shampoos.
  • -Sometime I used peanut butter. I just smeared it on with a butter knife and let it set for about 40 minutes to an hour. Then I rubbed it in some more and washed the hair afterward.
  • -Apply a liberal amount (or soak for several seconds) of 99% isopropyl alcohol to the area, then rub. The sap dissolves quickly. Then clean with soap or shampoo and rinse to remove alcohol and the dissolved sap.
  • After removing, wash the gum wery good, and you can eat the gum again.
