First use ice to harden the gum. Get it good and cold. The less gummy it is, the easier it will come off. When most of it has been removed, put a little peanut butter on it. The peanut oil will make the residual gum slide off the hair.

Beat me to the punch. This has been a proven and effective way to remove gum from hair, I've had to use it multiple times myself on my younger sister. But you shouldn't be asking how to get gum out of hair, you really should be asking how it got there in the first place. Hahaha

My mom used to use peanut butter whenever I got gum in hair when I was younger. That happened a lot, and I can say that it does work.

Peanut butter will work. You just work the peanut butter into the gum and it will start working it out Just wash hair a coupl time then the peanut butter will come out. I had to use this on my friends daughters hair. It took a while but it brought all the gum out.

Use ice to freeze the gum and it should crumble away quite successfully. Definately worth a try before you do anything drastic.

I remember something about putting ice cubes on the gum... It will get hard and then you can get it out pretty easy... Hope this works!
