Gum be gone
This problem is a lot more common than you might think, and it happens to the best of us: getting gum in our hair is something we’ve all had to deal with, at least once in our life (especially those of us with long hair and a sweet tooth). It happens mostly to children, and unfortunately, many times the unfortunate solution is cutting the hair.
This solution often leads to tears, but it’s also inevitable, or so we thought before learning this trick. It turns out you can use Vaseline to get gum out of the hair. Apply some gel around the gum-infected area, and massage the hair slowly until you’re able to slide the gum off the hair, fairly easily.
