How to remove chewing gum from hair

Question

How can I easily and effectively remove chewing gum (or similar) that has become stuck in a persons (or animals) hair?

I am talking about hair that is at least an inch in length and commonly found on one's head.

Removal by cutting is a sort of last option so I would like to avoid this if possible! Also I would not like anything that would long term damage the hair / head / skin.

@Mooseman ah yeah I'll give you that one! I did search prior to asking - couldn't find it — MrPhooky, Mar 05 '15 at 18:22

This May sound weird but you can use coca cola to remove chewing gum from your hair.

I'm sorry to tell you, but multiple people have already asked this question. Remember the golden rule of the Stack Exchange: Duplicate questions make it harder to help everyone else. Please remember to search your question to see if someone already has!

Now, on the topic of your question: Freezing the gum works incredibly well, as it will just snap off.
