   is there a way to get  gum out of hair?
  my girl got gum in her hair. We dont want it cut btu if we need to we''d just have to cut the ends ooff.   
  Peanut butter.I''ve never had to try it, but it is supposed to disolve gum nicely.

It will melt the gum till it is very thin, and you can rinse it out with oil (the gum won't mix with water).You will then need to use alcohol to clean out the oil, just water won't work. Soap and water is good for a little bit of oil, but a lot of oil needs something that will dissolve it.

Then you can just crumble it up with your fingers and comb it out.   "Sneftel is correct, if rather vulgar." --Flarelocke ;  How does the peanut butter work?

Whats in it that bubble gum hates?   peanut butter.   peanut oil. bubble gum is a rubber polymer, oils generally dissolve rubber polymers.For instance, fill a water balloon with water, tie it off to seal. Squirt 4-In-1 oil on the balloon (it''s used to lubricate hinges and chains), wait 2 seconds, then hand the balloon to someone. About the time they lift it over their head to throw it, the oil will disolve the rubber and the balloon will pop.;  You might have a chance with HCl or H2SO4...not sure what that''ll do to hair, though
