Woman who applied industrial glue to her hair finally regains her happiness Tessica Brown, from the United States, applied the substance to her hair to ‘fix’ it. A month after she made that mistake, she underwent surgery to remove the glue.
In recent days, news spread like wildfire from an American woman who, for lack of hair fixative, used a strong, permanent and moisture-resistant adhesive. The youtuber Tessica Brown, 40, never thought that this awkwardness would cost her dear and that it would turn into a scalp nightmare. And after applying the substance to her head for a month, she couldn’t get rid of it with washes or with doctor’s visits.

The one known as ‘Gorilla glue woman’, by the product brand, related on her TikTok account all the ordeals she endured as a result of the serious mistake.
Tessica Brown went through a complicated procedure to remove the glue from her hair.
Fortunately, her story reached Dr. Michael Obeng from Los Angeles, who decided to help the influencer. The specialist offered him a free surgery worth $ 12,500 to remove the adhesive, which was designed to repair furniture and floors.
Tessica traveled from Louisiana to the clinic to undergo the complicated and time consuming procedure of removing the cured adhesive.

According to some media outlets, including TMZ, the glue removal was a success, although before the youtuber had to cut the long braid she was wearing.
Now Tessica has regained her luck and just enjoys stroking her new short hair.
The brand of glue used by the influence has already issued a statement regretting what happened, but advises that the spray adhesive should not be used on her.
However, Tessica assumed it was real hairspray after noting that it didn’t have the spray that some other brand of hair product usually uses.

The woman is considering suing the company for the incident, assuring that the adhesive’s label only says that it was not applied to the eyes, skin, or clothing, but that nothing is said about the hair, something she has considered misleading.
