Tessica Brown, a 40-year-old woman living in Louisiana, USA, went viral this week after she posted a video on social media about her tragic case: she wore a month you can’t comb your hair after spraying your hair with Gorilla Glue Adhesive Spray.
The woman admitted that she had a “bad idea” after running out of her usual hairspray and decided to fix her hairstyle with glue. Then her hair got stuck in the adhesive 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 post was completed immediately viral and to date exceeds 75 thousand visits.
“I didn’t have Got2B hairspray anymore, so I used this one, gorilla glue spray, bad idea, my hair won’t shake, I washed my hair 15 times and it won’t move,” she said. .
Two days later, on February 6, he reported that he had to go to St. John’s Hospital. Bernard of Chalmette, Louisiana, to remove the adhesive. There he spent 22 hours in the emergency room, where doctors and nurses used acetone and sterile water to loosen the adhesive, a procedure that burned his scalp and did not loosen his hairstyle.
His video caught the attention of many celebrities who offered to help him.
Among them, the singer’s hairdresser Beyoncé, Neal Farinah, who offered to help her recover from the plastic surgeon in Los Angeles Michael Screwdriver, who proposed a free surgery to remove the glue from the scalp.
On February 10, Brown – formerly known as “Gorilla Glue Girl” – arrived in California to undergo a successful surgical procedure, according to the medical center where she was hospitalized.
Before entering the operating room, Brown created an account on the GoFundMe platform to raise $ 1,500 for his operation.
New York Post reported that by Thursday, February 11, he had already raised over $ 20,000, which he would now donate to a foundation that supports people going through a situation similar to the one he experienced.
After her bitter experience, the woman investigates the possibility of suing the adhesive company, claiming that the labels of her products are misleading.
The company responsible for the Gorilla Glue spray issued a statement via Instagram about what happened to Brown, stressing that the spray adhesive says on its warning label that “it must not come into contact with the eyes, skin or clothing”.
