Has anyone ever used peanut butter to remove unwanted gum from hair?

Asked by brownlemur (2756 points) | asked 3 months ago | 6 responses | “Great Question” (0 points) | Flag as…

Does it really work? Is it the oil in the peanut butter that does the loosening of the gum? If so, why not just use oil? Does this make no intuitive sense to anyone else?

I had heard of using ice before, but not peanut butter. It certainly wouldn’t cause any harm to use peanut butter. I once, back in junior high school, got a drill bit caught in my hair, I was lucky I didn’t kill myself with the damned thing, it sucked my head all the way in. No amount of peanut butter or ice was going to help that situation. I had to cut out the whole chunk of hair. Oh, the folly of youth an vanity, what a dreadful combination.

I 2nd the ice!
I think vasaline might work also, but you might have to wash your hair a few times to get the vasaline out…...defeating the purpose i guess…..

i am curious as to why you would “want” gum in your hair…in what case is it “O.K.”?

I’ve used peanut butter before. When I was little I got gum stuck in my hair one or two times usually when I fell asleep with gum in my mouth and it would fall out or something like that.
