Gum in her hair tonight

My daughter has always done very well with chewing gum. She has never ever gotten gum in her hair before but tonight her hair was down (not in a pony) and she was chewing her gum but then she put some of her hair in her mouth with the gum! It was a mess as you can see in the photos.

The icky mess...

The method of choice!

The outcome:

There are several ways to get gum out of your hair. Tonight I tried the Vegtable Oil with a comb. IT WORKED GREAT!

Have you had to get gum out of hair? What method worked for you?

Here are some other methods to try:

Peanut Butter

Hair Mousse

Ice

Vaseline

Alcohol

Mouth wash

Hand Lotion

Mayonnaise

Eucalyptus

WD-40

Toothpaste

There is a long list of ways to do try. I wanted to do something that did not require me to throw her back into the bathtub to wash her hair. I only used a little bit of oil so I did not need to get her hair cleaned right away since we were minutes from heading out the door for church.

I have tried several of them. Raised three girls that loved gum. There is a traveling story about gum and we call it the national lampoon vacation story and it has a really gummy story in it. To funny too.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry.
