"Hi, I'm Sylvia, and I'm here to help you get gum out of your hair. Now listen, kids will be kids, and adults will be adults, and we all get stuff stuck in our hair. If you get gum in your hair, here's some tips that you can use. Try some ice. Put it in a plastic bag, place it against the hair, and the gum. Wait a few minutes, to see if it will loosen up a little bit. If that doesn't work for you, try an oil, or a spray, that has an oil base to it. Saturate the hair with the spray, and wait a few minutes, to see if it will begin to loosen. Also, take a serum or a hair oil, something with a really good lubricant. Apply it to the hair. Rub it between the fingers. Wait a few minutes, and see if that works for you. Now, let's not go to drastic measures. Let's not cut that hair immediately. Let's try a few things, before we begin with the scissors. Now, let's recap. You can try ice. You can try a spray oil, or you can also try an oil remover. Whatever you try, don't cut first. Let's try and get it out another way. My name is Sylvia, and this is how you can remove gum, from your hair."
