She keeps updating her ig so I’m sure she will post the end result. I would be very surprised if her hair is intact after all this.

I'm concerned that this person has given birth and is responsible for children. We ALL do dumb stuff but this isn't regular dumb.

She said it wasn't an accident but a bad idea using the glue and now she's talking about suing? Her social media accounts will be used against her in court. Gorilla glue has already made statements about her issue, I'm sure their attorneys are ready.

So instead of them discharging her she is the one who chose to leave the hospital because the hospital said it would take about 20 hours for them to treat her and she feels more comfortable at home. This lady is making me mad but it’s her head and her life. At least she would’ve been monitored and they probably would’ve helped her with the pain she’s experiencing throughout the treatment.

Too late. Her image of a black woman with her nostrils flared side by side with a guerilla are all over the internets.Is there a way she can be swiftly and quietly swept under the rug?
Yeah, she should have stayed at the hospital but I have already accepted that she's not particularly bright. At least the radio hosts kept their clownery subtle. I mean it was there but I already know how this would have gone down if Charlemagne was on the line.

I feel for her. But I can't really relate. There's no way that anyone outside of a tight inner circle would know I did something like this. And I'm pretty sure I would have been in a doctor's office as soon as I realized my hair was bonded to my scalp. I wish her luck and health. I can't bring myself to donate to the cause. But I hope she comes out of this okay and........
I keep trying to stop myself from typing that she needs supervision and I just can't stop myself. Ugh. As someone else said, bless her heart.

Thing is, she won't be lucky, at all. As someone who permanently lost follicle function behind miscalculating something with a hairstyle, I empathize greatly with her. But this is beyond all the prayer and offerings to the hair gawds. That scalp is probably toast.
A slicked down style that hasn't been washed will likely start itching after about 2 weeks. When she couldn't get to the scalp to scratch, that should have tipped her off that something wasn't right. Also, nape and hairline hairs are notorious for growing and popping out at the worst time. That alone has me questioning her. I mean, that hair by the ear looks freshly laid down. Even the slowest growing hair has signs of new growth after a month. Her hair looks like it's still 20 minutes post relaxer.
At this point, she needs to talk with her insurance about getting put under so she can do the acetone soak and hair cut. Once derm determines it's safe, she can see about a hair transplant.

I can’t sue a clothes iron company cause it doesn’t say warning: not to be used as a panini press.
I feel for her but this is ridiculous. Gorilla Glue shouldn’t be responsible for her lack of common sense

I need people to stop. Somebody on her gofund me wrote this.
Use lemon juice and olive oil not those chemicals!! Cover eyes. Be blessed
What exactly is lemon juice and olive go do to industrial strength glue? You might as well tell her to rub some Tussin' on it. It's stuff like somebody believing this would work that removes my disbelief that somebody would put glue in their hair in the first place.

Gorilla Glue Girl, Tessica Brown, shares terrible hair saga on TikTok - The Washington Post

Tessica Brown made a terrible mistake.
She was out of her favorite hair spray and substituted with Gorilla Spray Adhesive — from the Gorilla Glue company, which makes heavy-duty adhesives for bonding metal, ceramics and stone. Her hair has been in the same slicked-down style for about a month.
Brown, 40, exploded into Internet fame last week when she posted her saga to TikTok. She gained a massive following, more than 415,000, as she shared several attempts to free her hair from the bonds of Gorilla Glue.
In that first video, Brown vigorously rubbed at her hair. Her side-parted, carefully smoothed style tapered to an extension braid. There was not a single flyaway in sight, and her hair didn’t budge.
“I washed my hair 15 times and it. Don’t. Move.” she said, accentuating each word with a clap. “If you ever run out of Got2B glued spray, don’t ever ever use this unless you want your hair to be like that forever.”
That video has 19 million views and counting since she posted it last week, and her plight has stretched beyond TikTok to the rest of the social mediasphere. People have mocked her, expressed concern for her health and offered solutions for how she should get rid of one of the most powerful adhesives on the market atop her scalp.
AD
In a subsequent post, she lathered shampoo on her inflexible strands. Her hair emerged unchanged.
“This is the life that I guess I’m going to have to live,” she said, suppressing a sob. When people realized that Brown had not pulled a big fake for attention, the concern started pouring in, along with a new nickname: #gorillagluegirl.
TikTok and Twitter users have been anxious for updates.
Brown took some advice from her growing audience: She slathered coconut oil and olive oil on her strands, covered it with a plastic cap and left it overnight.
It was an “epic fail” to get rid of her “forever ponytail,” she said.
Gorilla Glue told TMZ that rubbing alcohol, a gentle combing and a delicate shampoo would likely be the best solution for Brown. Based on what she has shared, it seems unlikely that those suggestions would work for her.
“We are glad to see in her recent video that Miss Brown has received medical treatment from her local medical facility and wish her the best,” Gorilla Glue tweeted, along with a warning that the glue is “not indicated for use in or on hair.”
Brown didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment.
By Saturday, Brown’s lightheartedness faded when she revealed that she sought treatment at St. Bernard Parish Hospital in Chalmette, La.
She was sent home with sterilizing water and acetone wipes — commonly used for removing nail polish.
On Sunday, she updated her accounts to show that she had started the process of trying to remove what is presumably one of the worst mistakes of her life. Brown winced in pain as a woman applied the products to her scalp with gloved hands.
Sterile water has been treated in a way to make sure no microorganisms can be a source of infection, especially if the glue is causing irritation that could break down the skin and lead to an open wound, according to Jason Rizzo, a board-certified dermatologist, Mohs surgeon and research professor at the University at Buffalo.
Acetone, which has been used in some experiments on animals, can reduce the skin barrier and dry it out, he said.
Rizzo said it’s not clear whether Brown will suffer scarring.
“Both the treatment and the Gorilla Glue are going to depend on how her scalp reacts,” he said. “Not everyone has inflammatory reactions and not all inflammatory reactions cause scarring.”
Brown could be experiencing tension on her scalp, and if someone is pulling on it in the removal process, it could cause some level of scarring, he said.
“It’s not so much what’s going on in her hair but deeper layers of scalp,” he said, noting that the extent of her healing depends on how deeply her dermis and epidermis have been damaged.
The accidental TikTok star has set up a GoFundMe account that has raised more than $9,000 in the single day it was launched.

In a Monday Instagram post, she thanked friends and strangers for their support of her hair-freezing ordeal: “Please continue praying that I can get through this and keep my hair.”

Do you ladies think heat will help? Maybe a steam treatment with loads of conditioner? Even an adhesive expands and loosens with heat.

^^ I used to be a hair transplant (and micro scalp pigmentation) consultant. If her scalp/follicles are damaged, and there isn't enough healthy “donor hair” left, a hair transplant is not an option.
