What’s worse than stepping on gum? Getting it stuck on your hair seems to top the list, and removing the sticky stuff can be very tricky. 
Chewing gum and bubble gum contain polymers which make them elastic. Unfortunately, these polymers are also the same stuff responsible for making them sticky. These ingredients found in gum are not only sticky, they’re water repellant too, making them difficult to wash off once they stick to you. The properties of these polymers form chemical bonds that allow gum to stretch rather than break, making clean-up even more tedious. 
Before you grab a pair of scissors and cut your tresses in a panic, try spraying some WD-40 and simply run a comb through. The properties of WD-40 work their way into the strong bonds formed by the polymers, making them weak and easier to remove. 
Voila! Goodbye chewing gum!
