on 1/29/2007 I use this tip from Marthastewart.com: Treat area with a dry solvent in a well-ventilated room. Press with cheesecloth; tamp with a soft-bristled brush. Repeat to remove as much pigment as possible. Flush area with isopropyl alcohol, tamp, and then let dry. Follow up with an enzyme detergent to remove reidue before washing.

Spread some peanut butter on that wad of gum and work it through until the gum comes out of your hair.
