Gum Stuck In Hair

My husband, J, took the children to church this morning.. which is quite a feat in itself. Sometimes the girls get gum during their Sunday School class(I don't know why... I think children don't ever need to have gum)
On their way home from church, L complained about having gum stuck in hair and soon after M complained about gum stuck in her hair. Both girls, after chewing their gum, decided that it would be fun to stick their chewed up gum behind their ears. They both have seen Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and obviously got the idea from Violet sticking her gum behind her ear to "save" it for later. M has tried this before, successfully, without any hair damage. That is a whole other story but long story short she said "Mom, I have gum behind my ear like the girl in Willy Wonka"
Well, when the party arrived at home the first thing my husband did was reach into his pocket, bring out his trusty itouch, and search for "how to get gum out of hair" on the Google app.
How do you get gum out of hair?
There are many ways.
Peanut Butter
Ice(put on for 15 min)
Cold Cream
Hand Lotion and Mouth Wash
Husbands method of choice: Vegetable Oil
Soak hair in oil, getting most of the large wads out and then wash the rest out with bath water.
Did it work? Yes! Success!
