You usually want 80 grams (2. 8 oz) of fat per 100 grams of peanut butter.
A small piece of foil will also work to keep slippery products from spreading across your head.
Use long strokes. As the peanut butter and gum are mixed, the gum will be broken down. After a certain point, you may want to switch over to a comb or your fingers to get larger chunks out of your hair. Use the back of a spoon behind the gum as a hard surface to spread the peanut butter on.
Although peanut butter and a comb will work the chunks out, there may still be residue that can be picked up by a towel. Peanut butter will require generous shampooing to wash out of your hair.
Lubricants can include, but are not limited to, toothpaste, cooking oil, hair mousse, WD-40, cold cream, vaseline, hair silicone, and adhesive remover.

Try not to squeeze the gum too much until the area around it is completely covered in oil. If you move the gum around too soon, you will spread the mess.
Before shampooing lubricants out of your hair, use a soft cloth to soak up and get rid of any remaining oil or slippery substance.
Dissolvers include, but are not limited to, eucalyptus oil, rubbing alcohol, adhesive remover, baking soda with water, lemon juice, white vinegar, and mayonnaise. [6] X Research source
If the gum does not break apart, apply more and let it sit awhile longer. It should dissolve and break apart in your fingers.
Cleaning the hair with a towel prior to shampooing is recommended for ease of washing.
This method is known to be more painful than other methods, because the cold gum still has to be yanked out of the hair. This method is not very good for people who hate pain. [7] X Research source
You can also apply salt water to your hair beforehand to lower the freezing temperature of the ice.
If the gum is too stuck to your hair to pull off, you can add a small amount of cooking oil to it and freeze it again.
