RE: Removing Hair From a Gold Chain
I have tried the lighter and match and both left black scorch marks and even broke one of my thinner chains. I have really fine hair and have had problems with my hair getting tangled in the chain so I could not wear them. After reading a suggestion to try nair hair removal, I did not have Nair but did have Neet. It worked like a dream! No rubbing, no black marks and no more broken chains. I suggest this to anyone with this problem. It works great and cleans the chain too. Try it!

RE: Removing Hair From a Gold Chain
I just tried the lighter trick on my gold chain that I have not been able to wear in over a year due to hair being tangled in it. Thank you for the simple idea. Even my jewelry store didn't know.

Burning it was the answer! And, no damage to chain. Thank you all! Now I can wear the rope chain that's been sitting in my jewelry box for 5 years!

Try using a hair removal product i.e. Nair. Just soak the chain for about 5 mins and the hair will dissolve.

I have always used a lighter to remove hair from my gold chains. Today though, the necklace briefly caught fire and is now blackened in some spots. It is 18k gold and I can not seem to get it clean. Be very careful with this approach.

Wow great idea-I used the lighter and burned off the hair. The hair was removed with ease!
Thanks so much!

Thank You! Thank You! I got out the lighter, and in just a few minutes all that twisted hair was gone from my favorite chain! You are brilliant! I had tried everything!

Wow! The cornstarch idea works. It takes a small amount of elbow grease to rub the hair out after the necklace is covered, but it is nothing compared to the time i have spent trying to pull it out with safety pins etc. THANK YOU!
As for the match idea, be VERY careful with this. I have a Tiffany silver necklace that i tried this on (on the recommendation of a Tiffany staff person) and I ended up burning the chain (it actually caught on fire). I was finally able to clean it with silver polish. Go with the cornstarch!

Take a single edge razor blade and scrape it against the chain. It will cut the hair into tiny pieces that you will be able to pull off easily

RE: Removing Hair From a Gold Chain
One idea that I have not tried myself is to get some cornstarch, keep it dry and gently twist the necklace in the cornstarch, I may be wrong but I think I have heard about this idea, to get kinks out of chains and jewelry. Another idea, is to use regular toothpaste and a soft brush or cloth, it will clean the jewelry and should take the hair away as well. I am not sure how to prevent the problem, but if you think the necklace is rough in any way and catching your hair, you could take clear nail polish, tack it on a hook as you apply the clear polish and it should smooth out rough spots.The clear polish is also one way a person can wear earrings that are not expensive, just put the clear polish on the posts.I have seen a similar product at a jewelry counter at a store.

Take a lighter or match and burn the hair off. It really stinks but the hair will be off in no time and if it is 14karat gold, the fire will not affect it.
