Well, bubblegum is not bubblegum anymore. People don't use no more trees to get the gum.
It is a polymer. Since it is a polymer, there must be a solvent for that. You can use nail enamel remover. Just use it carefully, otherwise you would end up a little dizzy :)

I would recommend using ice to harden the chewing gum making it easier to pick out with your fingers. Its a fiddly job, you could also try using talcum powder as this will take some of the stickiness away that the gum has helping it slide out the hair. Alternatively, if its stuck fast then you may have to trim the gum out with scissors by cutting the hair. If you do it little by little it will be fine and less painful! Get someone to help you! Good luck!

Peanut butter dissolves gum.
Rug the gum with ample amount of peanut butter, allow to work into the gum for 5 minutes, and shampoo out.

Freeze it with ice and you can probably pick most of it out. Then slather it with peanut butter and slide the remainder out. Then wash your hair as usual in the shower.

This is an old problem. The best way is to freeze it with ice cubes. It should be straight forward from then on

Don't waste the Peanut Butter...!
Just freeze it with ice or cut it out if it won't leave you looking to hideous...!
