We used "Goo Gone" from the store. It's a cleaner type thing. Just put it in, let it sit, and brush it out. Works like a charm.

I came across a better solution. Just take hair mousse and use it on the gum. In a couple of minutes just comb out the gum. You should probably wash the hair afterwards. I got it completely wrapped inside and it worked.

I got a huge chunk of chewing gum in my long hair and used ice cubes on either side of gum and brushed with a comb and worked perfectly without that sticky peanut butter mess! Good luck!

With my wife being out of town at a convention, I was horrified to see that my daughter had accidentally gotten a "large amount of chewing gum in her long brown hair. After googling "gum in hair removal" I came across this and 15 minutes later the gum was gone and her hair washed. Thanks soooo much.

FYI, we just removed gum from our granddaughter's hair using Avon's Skin So Soft. it smells much better, and works like a charm.

Oh my gosh. Peanut butter did not work as well. I tried alcohol, peanut butter, vaseline, and soap. :D Well thanks for the advise anyway

My sister in law used a little bit of olive oil in my niece's hair to remove the gum. Worked like a charm.

You can also get two ice cubes and put on either side of the chewy in your hair. It starts to flake. It all comes out, and then you have to wash your hair.

I looked this up for my neighbor cause her child had a wad of chewy in her hair. Weird way to get chewy out but works wonders. This is the best method I have found for chewing gum in a long time, cheers.

Peanut Butter! Well I learned this out after my sister got gum stuck in her hair. Shes didnt tell me and she cut her hair instead! She had a big peice of hair sticking up out from the top of her head! A week later we went to a proffesional hair cutter and she noticed what she had done. Obviously. She told us next time this ever happens to use peanut butter! Two weeks later my littlest sister got gum stuck in her and we applyied this idea! It worked like magic!

This was simply amazing. My 8 year old son decided to put a wad of pink silly putty in his beautiful blond hair. I did not know whether to laugh or cry. We tried everything to get it out with no success. My sister suggested the use of peanut butter after reading this website. Unbelievable! Thank you!

I was panic striken about an hour ago as my daughter decided to be cool and stick her gum behind her ear like the boys do...but she's got long dark hair!!! I tried to remove it but just made it worse. I jumped onto the internet to find a cure and read your weird remedy and it ACTUALLY worked!!
Thanks so much for the peanut butter idea it worked amazingly well and in a matter of minutes.

One time I was with my cousins at my grandmothers house. I had very long hair and got gum tangled in it. We were afraid that if we told my grandma about the gum, she would just chop my hair off, so we slathered it with peanut butter, and I casually leaned up against the fridge, while(in the meantime) my hair was stuck in the freezer. We then went back into the bathroom and the gum came right out. I did not lose even one strand of hair, and my grandma never found out.

Peanut Butter is amazing! Rub it in and keep working through the gum until it disappers before your eyes. Unbelievable!

Tip: Removing Chewing Gum From Hair

Archived on 02/13/2007

Remove chewing gum from your child's hair by rubbing a spoonful of peanut butter into the gum, leave on for a bit and then wipe the mess out with a paper towel. Shampoo. You might have to do the peanut butter thing twice if the gum is a really huge chunk. Beats cutting out a chunk of hair like my mom did to me!

I am a hairdresser and we use mayonnaise. It works great and conditions too.

By Stacy from El Paso

RE: Removing Chewing Gum From Hair

Try ice cubes. It will freeze the gum and when its hard you can break it away. Works for gum in the carpet too.

RE: Removing Chewing Gum From Hair

Rub the chewing gum with peanut butter, mayonnaise or oil.

If your child has gum stuck in his or her hair, simply use an ice cube on the area. It takes a little work, but it works like a charm! By Robin

RE: Removing Chewing Gum From Hair

Peanut butter always worked best for me. I have two girls with very long hair;and when they were small I used the peanut butter.

Rub perfume into the gum and it comes right out. This also works on gum on clothes.(quote)(/quote)

RE: Removing Chewing Gum From Hair

Mom had given up! I searched the internet and found the peanut butter suggestion for removing the chewing gum from hair. It worked just great, a bit messy but so worth the effort.

RE: Removing Chewing Gum From Hair

I really did think that the suggestion of peanut butter or mayonnaise to remove chewing gum from hair was a joke but we tried the mayonnaise in my 9 year old's hair and it really did work. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you very much for a million dollar tip. Peanut butter worked like magic for me. Cheers.

RE: Removing Chewing Gum From Hair

My wife just used this method on my 6 yr old daughter, who rolled over some sticky stringy gum. IT WORKED! No cutting of the hair (that was above the ear). Fabulous

RE: Removing Chewing Gum From Hair

Thank you so much - I put chewing gum in my boyfriends hair during a play fight and the mayonnaise worked well! We are friends again!
