my grandaughter has pink bubble gum in her hair, how do you get it out with out cutting the hair?

Answer 1

First explain to your gran daughter ,
what you are doing and why !

separate the main strand of 'chewing gummed 'hair

wrap a small bag of frozen peas around it

hold it there, for at least 10 minutes

the chewing gum will harden

it can then be combed out quickly but (gently .)

If any chewing gum remains, repeat the process ,

NO NEED ~~~~
to cut her hair ! or put grease on it or shampoo it )

It will not take long , and should not upset your grandaughter

Answer 2

One method of doing it is to take some ice cubes in a synthetic bag and keep it on the gum in your hair until it freezes and hardens. Then smoothly and slowly break the gum from your hair. This is the simplest method of removing gum form hair but if the problem persists then you would have to resort to some other technique. Using any oil base is another effective method of getting rid of gum form hair.

Take any kind on non-toxic oil like baby lotions, olive oil, canola oil etc and then slowly apply it around the gum and the gum itself. Massage the oil into the hair and leave it for 20 minutes. After that, comb out the hair very slowly and gently. This should be enough to remove the gum but if it doesn’t then repeat the process.

Answer 3

Two ways.
First use Ice to harden the Gum and then break it off with a hammer if it is far enough from the scull if not use pliers but make shore the gum is refrozen every so often.

Second use a car cleaning product that is designed to remove Tar and Road deposits. Do a test area first if the hair is dyed . If not keep away from scalp if you can, wash hair Afterwards.

Answer 4

depends where it is if its on the ends freeze it or use realy cold water then comb it out a nit combs good for that. if its at the roots try ice cubes or if it is the bottom layers of hair cutting it out should not be to noticible.
i had to have my hair cut to get bubble gum out of it after going to sleep with some behind my ear but as it was stuck to the bottom layers it was not too bad

Answer 5

I've heard everything from oil rubbed into the hair to get the gum off, to peanut butter.. but I think just cutting it out is the best.

Answer 6

Ice, ice it down. The chemicals in gum become more brittle when frozen or nearly frozen, this makes it sticky property decrease and makes it easier to remove from hair and clothes

Answer 7

Hold ice cubes on the gum untill it goes hard, then it should just break away from her hair

Answer 8

FREEZE IT WITH AN ICE CUBE

awww pink bubble gum...

Answer 9

two options:

first you could dye the hair bubble gum pink and then you wouldn't notice it and she'd have really awsome hair

second you could cut it all off and get her a wig, alternatively she could just be a skin head.

Answer 10

spread a glob of peanut butteron the gum. work the peanut butter through her hair until the gum comes out. the peanut butter will wash out with regular shampoo.
