I think it's not working because most peanut butters on the market don't contain enough oil to release the gum. Olive oil works MUCH better and will release the gum from the hair.

Really Zee? I never heard that before. We always cut the hair that contained the gum.

I've heard of the peanut butter remedy, but I've also heard it doesn't usually work. Mayonnaise is better, 'cause it's all greasy.

Peanut butter used to work I know that from experience. With all of the additives in gum now, it might not be as effective. All those chemicals that can't be removed from your hair, and yet so many people chew gum, me included. Scary!

use the really oily, creamy kind - work it in real well then COMB it out slowly

I think scissors work best.

I've never had that problem personally but I have heard that using ice to make the gum hard works too. Then you just break off the pieces.

I think its just a myth i have tried and never worked for me.
