This might sound a little strange, but put your head in the freezer! If you can freeze the gum it will go crisp and you will be able to just break it of your hair without having to ruin your barnet!

Ugh... this reminds me of a story back when I was in first grade and a girl in my class stuck gum in my hair! I cried because I was SURE they were going to cut it out... and then my teacer put peanut butter and brushed it in... and it came out!

And while I'm sure you don't care at all about my first grade adventures, try peanut butter! Works like a charm.

paint the gum the same colour as your hair and then no-one will notice :)

Answer 31

Put peanut butter on the gum & let it sit about 30 min. then wash. If that dosent work freeze it with ice cubes. hold ice cubes on it and pick it of a little at a time. this is time consuming but it works well.
