Tackling the Great Outdoors : Remove Gum from Your Hair

Bubble gum is great for blowing huge bubbles, but sometimes this bubble blowing fun can backfire. What do you do when you blow a bubble so big it pops right into your hair?

Ice it. Take an ice cube and press it on the hair gum for several minutes. It will harden and become much easier to remove.

When gum is warm it sticks and stretches marvelously, but when cooled it becomes hard and brittle. Once the gum hardens and breaks into pieces it also loses it's stickiness.
