Glue is not a hair loss: an American woman is finding a hard way out

Tessica Brown, a 40-year-old American woman, went out of her hair spray when she thought she would apply some Gorilla Spray she found lying around. The problem was that this sprayer was actually a heavy-duty industrial strength tool for bonding metal, ceramic and stone. A month, 15 washes and a trip to the hospital later, Brown’s hair is still in one slow style.

“I washed my hair 15 times, and it won’t move,” Brown said in a video she posted to his own channel on the TikTok social media platform. “If you’ve ever run out of a Got2B (branded hair spray) spray, never use this unless you want your hair to be like that forever,” she continued.

The woman and her sticky situation quickly began to take off on social media by picking up more than 19 million views, also gathering over 415,000 people. Thousands of people commented and shared Brown’s videos, some mocking her, some offering advice.

People realized that Brown was not neglecting what had happened, and the online community grew anxious as they eagerly awaited further updates. At the same time, as the internet does, it has been nicknamed in the form of the hashtag #gorillagluegirl.

“This is the life I think I need to live,” Brown said in another video.

Brown visited Saint Bernard Parish Hospital in the state of Louisiana, where she was approached by the medical team, as can be seen on a photo she posted to Instagram. In her home, a woman applied sterilizing water and acetone wipes, provided by the hospital, to Brown hair but it was not enough to get rid of the adhesive.

“We are very saddened to hear of the unfortunate incident that Mrs. Brown experienced using our Adhesive Spray on her hair,” Gorilla Glue said on their official Twitter account. “We are delighted to see in her recent video that Ms Brown has received medical treatment from her local medical facility and we wish her every success,” the company said. labels at their adhesive warn people not to get it “in eyes, on skin or on clothing. ”

Brown has also set up a GoFundMe page to receive donations online and has raised more than $ 13,000 since its launch. Brown thanked everyone for their support and said, “Please continue to pray that I can get through this and keep my hair. ”
