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.

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.

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