Halloween Hair Woes

0 Comments

Read Now
 
If gum or candy get stuck in your or your children's hair this Halloween (or any time of year!), follow these tips from the American Academy of Dermatology to get it out without cutting the hair:

  • Find a jar of creamy style peanut butter or vegetable oil, such as olive oil.
  • Cover the gum completely with peanut butter or oil using your fingers or an old toothbrush. With peanut butter, the oils in the product make the chewing gum base stiffer and less sticky.
  • Wait a few minutes to allow the product to work.
  • Remove the gum from the hair. Vegetable oil is especially useful when removing gum from eyebrows or eyelashes.
  • Wash your child’s hair as normal so your child does not smell like lunch.
