To remove ball gum from hair, use vegetable oil. The oil helps to make the gum less sticky so it can be easily pulled out.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Apply Vegetable Oil: Generously apply vegetable oil to the gum and the surrounding hair.
- Wait: Allow the oil to sit for a few minutes. This softens the gum and reduces its stickiness.
- Gently Remove: Carefully pull or slide the gum out of the hair.
- Clean: Wash your hair with shampoo to remove any residual oil.
Why this works:
- Vegetable oil acts as a lubricant.
- It weakens the bond between the gum and hair, making removal easier and less painful.
Other Tips:
- You can also use other types of oils, like olive oil or baby oil, with similar results.
- Avoid using sharp objects to cut the gum out. This may result in cuts and hair damage.
