Remove chewing gum from hair. Apply Petroleum Jelly and work into the hair until the gum slides off.

Chesebrough originally promoted Vaseline primarily as an ointment for scrapes, burns, and cuts, but physicians have shown that Vaseline has no medicinal effect or any effect on the blistering process, nor is it absorbed by the skin. Vaseline’s effectiveness stems from its sealing effect on cuts and burns, which inhibits germs from getting into the wound and keeps the injured area supple by preventing the skin's moisture from evaporating. "Vaseline First Aid Petroleum Jelly" brand, (which contained carbolic acid to give the jelly additional anti-bacterial effect), has been discontinued.
However, after becoming a medicine chest staple, consumers began to use Vaseline for a myriad of ailments including chapped hands or lips, toenail fungus, nosebleeds, diaper rash, chest colds, and even to remove stains from furniture.
