7 Ways to Get Gum Out of Your Hair (Without Scissors)

To remove gum from your hair without using scissors, consider the following seven methods:

1. Peanut butter: Apply peanut butter to the gum-affected area, allowing it to soften the gum and make it easier to remove.
2. Cooking oils (e.g., vegetable oil): Similar to peanut butter, oils can reduce the gum's stickiness, helping you to remove it from hair.
3. Ice cubes: Freeze the gum with an ice pack or ice cubes wrapped in a cloth; once frozen, the gum becomes brittle and easier to remove.
4. Vinegar: Soak the gum with vinegar to break down the bond between the gum and hair, making it easier to remove.
5. Baking soda: Make a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the gum, and let it react chemically to weaken the adhesiveness.
6. Toothpaste: Use a small amount of toothpaste containing abrasives to loosen the gum from the hair.
7. Clarifying shampoo: After removing the gum, use a clarifying shampoo to remove any residue from the hair.

Remember to be patient and gentle when removing gum from hair to avoid damaging the hair or scalp. If all methods fail, consulting a professional stylist for a haircut might be necessary to address the gum-affected area.
