Silly Putty in Hair? Why Peanut Butter Won't Work (and What To Use Instead)

While peanut butter is a common home remedy for removing chewing gum from hair, it's not a good idea to use it for silly putty.

Here's why:

* Peanut butter is oily: Silly putty is made of silicone, and oil can actually make it stick more to your hair.

* Peanut butter is sticky: It can be difficult to remove peanut butter from hair itself, and the sticky residue could make the silly putty harder to remove.

Instead of peanut butter, here are some better options for removing silly putty from hair:

* Vegetable oil: Apply a small amount of vegetable oil directly to the silly putty and gently massage it in. The oil will help to loosen the putty and make it easier to remove.

* Petroleum jelly: Similar to vegetable oil, petroleum jelly can help loosen the putty from hair.

* A fine-toothed comb: Once the putty is softened, try to gently comb it out of your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up.

* Scissors: If the putty is stuck firmly, you may need to carefully cut it out of your hair.

If you're struggling to remove the silly putty, it's best to consult a hairstylist or professional. They can help you safely remove the putty without causing any damage to your hair.
