Tessica Brown, a 40-year-old woman living in Louisiana, United States, went viral this week after posting a video on social networks about her tragic case: she carried not being able to comb your hair for a month after spraying your hair with a Gorilla Glue heavy-duty adhesive spray
The woman acknowledged having a ‘bad idea’ after she ran out of her usual hairspray and decided to fix her hairstyle with the glue. Then her hair got stuck in the glue until she was forced to go to the hospital.
On February 4, Brown posted on Instagram that his hair was stuck in the hairstyle shown in the video for a month. Your mail was ready immediately viral and to date there have been more than 75 thousand visits.
“I ran out of Got2B hairspray, so I used this one, gorilla glue spray, bad idea, my hair won’t budge, I’ve washed my hair 15 times and it won’t budge,” she said.
Two days later, on February 6, he reported that he had to go to St. Bernard Hospital in Chalmette, Louisiana to have the adhesive removed. There, he spent 22 hours in the emergency room, where doctors and nurses used acetone and sterile water to loosen the glue, a procedure that burned his scalp and didn’t loosen his hairstyle.
His video caught the attention of many celebrities who volunteered to help him.
Among them the singer’s hairdresser Beyoncé, Neal Farinah, who offered to help her recover, and the Los Angeles plastic surgeon Michael screwdriver, who suggested doing a free surgery to remove the glue from his scalp.
On February 10, Brown – now renamed “Gorilla Glue Girl” – arrived in that California town to undergo the surgery, which was a success according to the medical center where she had been hospitalized.
Before entering the operating theater, Brown created an account on the GoFundMe platform to raise $ 1,500 for his surgery.
The New York Post reported that on Thursday, Feb. 11, he had already raised more than $ 20,000, which he will now donate to a foundation that supports people who are going through a similar situation to him.
After her bitter experience, the woman investigates the possibility of suing the glue company that her product labels are misleading.
The company in charge of the Gorilla Glue spray released a statement via Instagram about what happened to Brown, emphasizing that the spray adhesive on the warning label says it “should not come into contact with eyes, skin or clothing. “.
