If such a nuisance happened to you or your child, learn how to remove the gum from your hair with the help of popular advice.

At such moments, the main thing is to remain calm and listen to the voice of reason. Hasty decisions made in a panic for fear of losing some of your hair can do you even more harm than a little sticky tape. Trying to "tear out" it without applying special means or heat treatment, you will not only confuse even more hair, but you can also hurt yourself. Many mindlessly begin to treat the place of sticky gum with acetone, alcohol or kerosene, which can lead to serious consequences in the form of a scalp burn.

Before choosing the right method, you need to choose the method that suits you and prepare for the operation. It is always better to have an assistant in this difficult task. The method chosen depends on where the gum is stuck: along the length of the hair or near the roots.

What to do if chewing gum is tangled in long hair?

You can assume that you are very lucky. If the gum is stuck not at the roots, but much further, then removing it with the help of temperature contrast is perfect. If you are sure that ice water is running from one tap and the other is very hot, then you can not bother with heating and cooling.

How to perform the operation?

Alternately place a section of hair with gum under ice and hot water. After a cold jet, try to break the hardened gum. Once a few pieces have broken off, place your hair under a hot stream. Stretch gum wrinkle your fingers, forming a thin cake out of it. Pour ice water on it again and try to break it.

If summer water flows from the tap, it is better to take ice cubes and heat the water. In no case do not use boiling water. The maximum temperature for this procedure is 60 degrees, so as not to burn yourself. When there will be nothing to chip off, but the smallest pieces will still be in the hair, last time process them with a piece of ice and grab the combing. First, do it with a comb, then you can use a regular comb. You will be surprised how quickly and easily you can remove the gum from your hair.

What if the gum sits right at the roots of the hair?

The option of changing temperatures is also suitable for saving the hair roots, but you will probably have to call someone for help, since it is very difficult to do it yourself. The second and even more effective method is the use of fat, or rather, vegetable oil.

Dampen a cotton plate with any vegetable oil and apply it to the chewing gum. Do not try to tear it off after 10 seconds. For best results, you need to wait some time. Well-soaked gum easily and easily leave the hair. If you feel that she opposes and does not want to leave your thick hair, you can try to freeze it with an ice cube after oil treatment.

If vegetable oil is not at hand, and you urgently need to pull the gum out of your hair, take any product or product with a very high fat content. It can be a night hand cream, a vaseline tube, aromatic oils, peanut oil, and even very oily mayonnaise (this is, of course, for extreme cases). Just apply one of these greasy improvised products to the gum, wait until it starts to deform and remove it from the hair with a washcloth.

It saves hair from velcro eucalyptus oil, which is often found in the first-aid kit. It is necessary to moisten cotton wool or cotton wool fragrant with pine oil and press the gum to them. Spot for at least 3 minutes and you will begin to feel how the gum practically dissolves under your fingers. Remove the remnants of her with a cotton swab, then rinse the head twice with shampoo, which will help to wash off the remnants of the gum and clean the hair of fat.

Other methods of chewing gum hair removal

In addition to the above methods, you can use some more folk tricks. Such methods are not considered popular, but show a good result.

The first method is lemon juice or diluted citric acid. It is necessary to mix the juice of one large lemon with half a glass of water, pour the acidic liquid into a spray bottle and treat the hair area with glued chewing gum. After a while, she must get off when combing with a comb.

The second unpopular method will help to remove chewing gum from ordinary baking soda. Mix 1 tablespoon with a tablespoon of water to leave a thick gruel. Apply it to the adhered gum, wait until it is completely dry and then try to remove it by combing it with a comb. It is also advised to use toothpaste instead of soda.

If all the presented methods did not help you, then you can turn to more powerful tools, such as a special adhesive removal agent or WD-40. But let's hope that more benign ways, such as heat treatment or vegetable oil, will help you save your hair, leaving them healthy and beautiful.

A piece of cloth is put on a piece of cloth with a chewing gum and several times it is carried out on it with a hot iron. Then change the napkin to clean. So do 3-5 times, gradually getting rid of the spot. Another option is to prepare a piece of cardboard in advance. Place it on the ironing board and attach a cloth area with chewing gum to it.

Chewing gum on the carpet: the right actions

Favorite carpet can be hopelessly spoiled by a piece of gum stuck to it. However, do not despair, a little patience - and this problem will be solved.

If the carpet is not a long nap, you can try to steam the soiled place. To do this, you need a steam iron (you can take the usual with the function of steam). A jet of hot steam is sent to the pollution and hold for a few minutes. Then the remnants of the gum scraped and brushed.

Some inventive housewives use a regular hairdryer for cleaning carpets. It is turned on at maximum temperature and blown over chewing gum. As it is heated, it is wound on cotton buds, thus gradually removing it from the carpet.

For a carpet with a smooth surface, apply the method of freezing. Of course, you can’t put it in the freezer, but you can use ice packs, which are put on the gum stain. After some time, it is removed with a sharp knife.

You can try to remove the gum with acetone. However, this method requires great care, because aggressive acetone can change the color of the carpet at the site of application. Therefore, first try to apply a few drops of this substance in an inconspicuous place (under furniture, near the wall). If the color of the product does not change, proceed to the removal of the gum.

All of the above methods are suitable for getting rid of chewing gum on pieces of upholstered furniture.

Ambulance for hair

Gum in the hair often becomes a compelling reason for unplanned haircuts. Especially often children get into such situations. But do not rush, you can try to get rid of this trouble is not so drastic method.

As can be seen from the above, no need to be upset at the sight of gum on clothes, shoes or carpet. A little patience and ingenuity will help you quickly and without special expenses to cope with this problem.

Thermal escape long spit

Chewing gum under the influence of low temperatures becomes hard, easily crumbles. From heating, on the contrary, softens and stretches well. Knowledge of the properties of "rubber" will play a good service. Try to get the gum out of your hair in one of the thermal ways.

“Cold” and “hot” methods are more suitable for removing gum from the ends of the hair or from the middle of the curl. It is so independently inconvenient to clean the radical zone: helpers are needed. In addition, sudden changes in temperature are not safe for the roots: it weakens them.

Attach ice to the gum stick.
Wait until the gum hardens completely: it becomes brittle, loses its stickiness.
Break the cud, separate the pieces from the curls. Try to act carefully in order to do without pulling out hairs.

Type in a basin of cold water. Dust salt on the eye.
Dip in a basin curl with "Velcro". Salt helps to reduce the temperature, from which the gum will become hard. Separate those pieces that are easy.
Change the water to hot. Dip the ringlets with gum residues into it: the substance will become sticky, pliable.
Try to get rid of the traces of gum combing. What remains, roll into a ball.
Repeat dipping in cold water. When the ball hardens, try to crush it to the maximum.

The heating

Turn on the iron, which is used for laying, to the maximum.
Wrap the strands, where the gum “flaunts”, in cotton fabric.
Walk a few times on the matter leveling ironing. From the high temperature gum will become soft. It will lag behind the hair, “move” to the fabric.

Oily short-cut rescue

Oily substances will help to pull out chewing gum from short hair. Oil-soaked gum loses its stickiness, it is easy to leave. Using oily substances, you can not be afraid that the roots will deteriorate, as is the case with thermal effects. Oil should be smeared and the gum itself, and curls around: it will facilitate combing, and the "sticky" does not "move" to another strand. After manipulation, the hair should be well washed with shampoo, rinse thoroughly.

Peanut butter. Apply it on adhered gum and hair around it. Wait until the chewing gum is soft, lose its stickiness. It will take a little time - a maximum of ten minutes. Remove the gum with a sponge, but proceed carefully.
Vegetable oil. Any that is in the kitchen - sunflower, olive. The principle of operation is similar to the "peanut" method.
Essential oils. For example, orange, eucalyptus. Soak a cotton pad in oil, keep it on a stained curl until the gum softens. After - comb to help. You can first freeze the gum ice cube, and then soak it with eucalyptus oil.

4 more funds

In the house there will certainly be four more tools that will help in the "sticky" situation.

Hair styling products. If there is hairspray, spray it on the gum. It will harden, become fragile. It only remains to crush and gently pull small particles out of the hair. An alternative to lacquer is mousse. Means for laying applied to the gum and on the strands around, wait five minutes and comb out.
Soda. Make gruel from soda and water. Apply it on the glued gum, wait until the mixture dries, and scrub.
Lemon juice. In half a glass of water squeeze the juice from half a lemon. Add some hair conditioner. Pour the liquid into a spray bottle. Spray the soiled strands, then use a dense comb. For greater effect, dampen a cotton pad in a lemon product and hold for three minutes on the “problem” curl: the grip between the elastic and the hair will decrease, the smoothness that the conditioner will provide will make it easy to comb the cud.
Toothpaste. Apply the paste on the Velcro stuck in your hair. From the toothpaste gum will begin to move along the edges. Remove the sticky parts, apply a small amount of paste again - and so on until it is completely removed.

Ways for extreme cases

If chewing gum is entangled in the hair before an important meeting and you need a fast and 100% removal method, you can use:

alcohol solvent
strong alcohol,
acetone,
technical aerosol WD-40.

Any of the above substances effectively cope with the Velcro: two minutes after treatment, the gum will disappear by itself. But the elegant result has a downside: alcohol-containing liquids, alcohol, nail polish removers dry out hairs. Such substances can not be applied on the roots.When working with technical aerosol, you need to follow safety rules: use a respiratory mask, protect your eyes. Refer to such methods only in extreme cases. It is better to postpone the meeting for a couple of hours and solve the problem in a safe folk way.

After you managed to remove the gum, take care of the restoration of hair. Even if sparing methods were used, the curls survived the stress. Pamper your hair with a nourishing mask, apply special oil on the tips, discard the hair dryer this time. After removing the chewing gum, children's curls will also need restoration: there are children's lines of balms and conditioners, they will help the strands to “come to their senses.”

Slippery method

Rescue holders of short haircuts or those who are not lucky and chewing gum stuck close to the hair roots. To peel the gum from the hair with the help of ice and ice cold water in this case is not the best idea, you can simply freeze the scalp.

Yes, and not a pleasant feeling. Therefore you should forget about the physical properties of chewing gum and turn to slip.

The point is to ensure that the chewing gum passes through the entire length of the hair as easily as possible. For these purposes you can use:

peanut butter,
any fatty vegetable oils,
petroleum jelly,
mayonnaise.

All this can be easily found in the home refrigerator. As for the application, there will have to work. You can get the gum out of your hair with an old toothbrush.

This simple tool will evenly distribute the fatty substance on the hair and will provide further promotion of gum away from the soiled curls.

Gum in the hair must also be exposed to the remedy. Then you should gently scrape the sticky tape with smooth longitudinal movements with the same toothbrush.

It is difficult to carry out such manipulations on the weight, therefore before the information procedure it is better to take care of a reliable solid surface on which it will be convenient to place a dirty curl.

When the gum is saturated with fat and finally leaves the hair, you need to thoroughly wash your hair with shampoo. Haircut saved!

In case of emergency

If the two previous methods did not help, which is extremely rare, you can try "heavy artillery." Try to remove the gum from the hair with a thick solution of soda.

It is effective in destroying the structure of chewing gum, but adversely affects the condition of the hair. In this regard, toothpaste seems to be a good alternative to this alkali.

More dangerous for the health of the hair recipes containing concentrated citric or acetic acid, glue solvents and even the popular WD-40.

Means, of course, cope with the task, but they should be attributed to the most radical.

After such an aggressive exposure to chemicals, the hair is no longer subject to recovery, which leads to quite logical reflections on the possible change of image and the removal of chewing gum along with the affected curls.

Peanut butter and vegetable oils

If the chewing gum is not very dry yet, it can be removed from the hair with peanut butter. To do this, take a creamy paste without adding pieces of peanuts (that is, not crunchy).
