Get Gum Out of Hair, Naturally

Lemon oil for gum.JPG

Sometimes I feel like a mom pro when it comes to parenthood, and then something happens where I’m like, “Oh no, NOW what!?”

My daughter getting gum in her hair is one of those new things. It has happened before when I wasn’t home a few years ago and my husband’s solution was to cut a chunk out of her hair. I kid you not. So while that thought did cross my mind, I remember hearing another mom in our oil community share how lemon oil does the trick. So I gave it a whirl and I’m happy to report on the good news.

It worked SO well! It basically disintegrated the gum into gritty pieces you can pull out and rinse. Essential oils make my life easier as a mom. From supporting the big things like our physical + emotional health, to getting gum out of my daughter’s hair . Share this with a mom who needs to know about this mom hack. :)
