Freeze the gum with ice cubes in a plastic bag
Once hard, gently break off pieces with your fingers
Work a small amount of peanut butter, coconut oil, or olive oil into the gum
Use a wide-tooth comb to loosen the gum from the hair
Apply conditioner to help slide the gum out
Wash the hair with shampoo after removing the gum
Repeat the process if any gum remains
Trim only the affected hair if the gum cannot be removed otherwise
