Ways To Easily Remove Chewing Gum From Hair

When we think about it, it is pretty easy to get chewing gum in one’s hair. This is especially true if that someone happens to be a child. Young children have a tendency to chew gum and somehow, inexplicably, wind up getting in their hair and being a nightmare to get out.

This can lead to minor problems. As most people know, it is easy enough to get gum in hair but it’s not so easy to get it out. If you are the victim of a chewing gum nightmare please do not use scissors to cut it out. There are several ways to remove the gum from hair.

Sometimes, it seems the more you try to remove the gum from hair, the more tangled it gets. So use gentle methods to get it out. Do not go for messy methods, otherwise it may get embedded. There is a popular method called the ice cube method. Place several ice cubes in the plastic bag and hold this onto the gum. The gum should freeze and harden. It will be easier to break off and remove from hair afterwards.

If not, then use the second method but it is quite messy. Warm one teaspoon of vinegar and massage it into the hair all around the chewing gum. The gum will dissolve. Once the gum is removed wash with shampoo.  

Another method is by using cooking oil, but baby oil works faster. All you need to do is massage it around the gum until it is removed.

Eggs whites also work on chewing gum in hair. Place the egg whites on the affected spot and until the gum is removed. Shampoo as usual and rinse.

Another method to apply is by using simple and everyday butter. Melt the butter and put on the affected area. It should remove easily. After that, shampoo as usual.

A lubricant called ether also works as an aid in the removal of chewing gum. Apply to the gum and work into hair. You will also need a good shampoo and conditioner to help speed up repairing any damage. If none of the methods work then call the hair dresser. Do not put any harmful chemicals on it.

The last method is to cut the gum from hair. This is the last method if you are ready for bad hair cut because of chewing gum accidents.

Temporary hair colour can be a fun way to try something new with your looks. It is also helpful for finding out if a colour is right for you without making a permanent commitment right away. Unfortunately, temporary hair colour has a horrible way of getting on everything – your pillow case, your clothes, even your furniture. Your shocking blue hair has faded, leaving you with blueberry muffin head. What do you do to make the nightmare end?

WAYS TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE TEMPORARY HAIR COLOUR

1. Wash It Away

A lot of products promise temporary hair colour for 6-12 washes. Usually, it’s less. With some reds they last longer especially if you have lighter hair to begin with. Pick a strong shampoo, for instance a chlorine stripper designed to remove chlorine from swimmer’s hair or a dandruff shampoo. Wash your hair several times until the colour is removed! We’re talking a wrinkly wet commitment here. You’ll have to wash your hair and let it dry about 10-15 times. After you are finished, and not before, condition your hair with a leave-in conditioner. All the washing will leave your hair dry and fly-away otherwise!

2. Swim for the Win

If you have a pool or hot-tub, you are set. Hair dye will fade quickly in chlorinated water. Swim for hours. Hang on the side of the pool or hot tub with your hair in the water. Afterwards, wash your hair a few times and condition it thoroughly.

3. Turn to the Professionals.

If all else fails, go to a professional hair dresser and have them dye your hair back to your normal colour with professional dyes. This way you won’t have to re-touch roots when your normal hair starts to grow back in. Your hair stylist may also have a dye remover on hand to remove the colour for you instead of dying your hair.

4. Use a Commercial Product

Most drug stores will offer a chemical hair-dye remover. This is a last resort as the removers are harsh and may burn or damage your hair. While at the store be sure to also buy a hot-oil conditioner or hair serum to help repair the damage afterwards.

5. Hit the Fridge

Lemon juice and vinegar make a mighty mixture for removing hair dye. Mix together a cup of vinegar and a cup of lemon juice. Completely drench your head and sit out in the sun to help it dry. When the mixture is dry, wash your hair. Let your hair dry, and repeat. Do this 2-3 times a day until your hair returns to it’s normal colour.

6. Start Fresh

Probably the most dramatic solution, but trendy if you have the cheek bones for it. Yes, I’m talking about shaving your head. This solution is great for boys and men, and for girls who don’t mind the Sinead O’Connor look.

7. Preventative Measures

A bit of research may save you from future hair disasters. Buy your products wisely. Different temporary hair colours will last longer. Look for rinses formulated to last 3-6 washes only. Other dyes such as Manic Panic are designed to be semi-permanent and will last longer with truer colour. Most importantly, be sure to dye a test strip of your hair first. I know, you’ve got the dye and are itching for a change. You are itching to dye your hair right away! Show some will power and instead dye a small strip of hair you can easily hide if necessary. Some dyes look great in the bottle or on the box, but shades will vary depending on your existing hair colour!
