Stiff where? Still stiff here. Much like the relationship between Black women and our hair, the situation involving our good sis Tessica Brown (aka Gorilla Glue Girl, as she’s been unofficially dubbed on social media) and her horrendous hair catastrophe that went viral last week has also increased in complexity.
Last week, we told you about Brown’s unfortunate circumstance involving her hair and the permanent (not meant for hair) adhesive Gorilla Glue spray. If you’ve somehow missed this story, allow me to sum it up for you in the simplest way I can. Essentially, Miss Brown ran out of one hair product and thought a completely different product would ultimately give her the same effect. The good news? It did. The bad news? The product she used wasn’t made for hair. Like, at all. Due to that fact, Brown has consequently been stuck with the same hairstyle for about a month now, with the rest of the Twitterverse now heavily invested in her journey to find a resolution. Well today, it looks like we’ve got an update.
Via Brown’s TikTok, the reportedly 40-year old Louisiana teacher apparently went to the hospital over the weekend to see what, if anything, could be done about her hair. Pictures posted on her official Instagram, which has now amassed over 600,000 followers, show Brown laying on a hospital bed with remnants of what appear to be cotton swabs still stuck to her hair, arguably implying that whatever treatment the hospital staff tried to give her unfortunately didn’t work. Speaking to Kiss 92.5 FM’s Roz & Mocha, the Brown recounted her painful experience, saying:

I have never heard or seen this product. I am stunned they used that name for a product for that end user...and weren’t called racist.
sounds like something to use to make the kids father’s stick around...
I cannot believe someone would actually admit to doing something like this.
I guess I can see going to the ER to see if they could do something, but to have it plastered all over the internet?????
Has she no shame?????
Since the original video surfaced, Brown has set up a GoFundMe and there have been talks of her exploring her legal options since Gorilla Glue doesn’t specifically warn against hair usage.
Ok who didn’t see that coming?

“I can’t do a thing with my hair!”
I first heard of a few years ago as a product that young guys used, particularly with “punk” or “spiked” hair styles.
Doesn’t that stuff dissolve in gasoline?
Acetone.
It is the cyanoacrylate Gorilla Glue product she used not the polyurethane. Acetone works for both (slowly for the CA).
Although y'all are thinking the same thing as me, ain't ya? 😆
She’s suing and will get $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
It would get her out of the classroom anyway...
She should just shave her head like congress woman Presley!! DONE!!
The really SCAREY thing IS this IDIOT is a teacher, let that sink in!!!

Tessica Brown hired an attorney and is weighing litigation against Gorilla Glue, because while the product’s label warns against using on eyes, skin or clothing – it does not mention hair – the outlet reports.
🙄
Shave it off, wear a wig until it starts growing back; or has the hair been glued to her scalp?
Just don’t smoke while using it.💥
Maybe.🤔
