Whoops...

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:

Scalp her. Teach her a lesson. Stupidity has consequences.
“the reportedly 40-year old Louisiana teacher”
****
I feel sorry for the students. May be these union teachers sitting out a year aint so bad at all. Their stupidity wont rub off on the students for at least a year.
You’re not seriously suggesting that this obvious idiot did NOT likely think the two products were basically the same thing, or could be used as such, are you?
Do you recall several years ago around the Miami, Florida area one Black gave a number of Blacks butt enhancement treatments using sealer from Home Depot? It was on the news and in the newspapers.
“Any inference I may make here would immediately be construed as racist; I shall therefore self-censor and refrain from comment.
Although y’all are thinking the same thing as me, ain’t ya? 😆 “
Have you heard of Rapper “Synthetic G”?
Well this is his little sister, “Acrylic G”
They needed a warning label for that, I guess.
Well, it worked as advertised, just not indicated for hair care.
Cyanoacrylate AKA Superglue! LOL Should be fun getting that off!
Maybe it is the stuff I use, but it gets pretty hot when it is setting.
Dreads and Jeri Curl, from BITD. I remember a NBA player from back in the 70’s who, when jumping into the team swimming pool, all the others would get out. He left an actual oil slick. Maybe that was why they invented Dawn dish soap?
In all probability she was thinking it was basically the same thing, or could be used as such, as “Gorilla Snot”, an apparently very popular hair control product for young black women.
12k right now
Whoops...
She thought Gorilla Glue was the same thing as Gorilla Snot? (lovely name)
Now she might sue Gorilla Glue for not expressly warning that the glue wasn’t meant for hair? What if she used a can of paint to color her hair? Should Sherwin-Williams be sued because they didn’t warn that their product shouldn’t be used as a haircare product?
I think she has only one hope — the guillotine.
We are not dealing with a particularly bright individual here. Gorilla Snot is an apparently popular hair product for young black women. So it shouldn't be too much of a leap to assume that she, in some way, in her little head, thought the two were basically interchangeable.
“...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.”

Jeez... just checked the label and it doesn’t warn not to use it as lip balm. Maybe that’s my way to get in on the legal jackpot bonanza? Nah, just checked and my wife won’t allow me. She’s SUCH A PARTY POOPER.
I bet most of that hair jel stuff is filtered industrial waste. They pump it into tubes, add some flashy packaging and they go ape over it.
