There is no need to worry if gum gets stuck in your child's hair. Just follow these steps:
- Find a jar of creamy peanut butter or vegetable oil like olive oil.
- Cover the gum completely with peanut butter or oil using your fingers or an old toothbrush. Peanut butter will make the gum base firmer and less sticky due to the oils it contains.
- Wait a few minutes for the product to take effect.
- Remove gum from hair. Vegetable oil is especially useful for removing gum from eyebrows or eyelashes.
- Wash your child's hair as usual so it doesn't smell like lunch.
