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:

Live and learn, I guess.
Acetone does NOT dissolve it once set. Nothing that you’d use on your skin does. I suspect sulfuric acid might, but I’ll leave that to some one else to try
Never underestimate the level of stupidity that is out there.
Remember, Obama was elected president, not once, but twice! MILLIONS voted for Biden for that same position.
I’m waiting on Gorilla Condoms!
I’m waiting on Gorilla Condoms! Or Super Glue Condoms!
I would imagine this is the problem. I'd not be surprised at all if it rather severely damaged her hair follicles.
Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
Or was that timex......
Great for population control! Should strengthen the GOP.
If anything a little of this will solve the problem:
Paging Michelle...
DANG!
Preslay apparently has allopecia. She might have shaved her head if she had any hair left on it to shave.
“Next time, maybe she should try holding her hair up in place with duct tape.”
That would be the preferred Red Green method.
Yep - I figured they didn’t have a “do not apply to hair” warning. “Well - it just say keep away from mine skin and I done that. Don’t say ‘nuthin’ bout hair!”
Thank you for the explanation.
Soul Glo!
Only way that comes to mind for safe handling of acetone in this situation is inside a walk-in fume hood. OSHA regs come into play re. inhalation and explosive vapors. A squirt bottle of acetone is common around a laboratory to dry water from things and as a degreaser. Of course, we are wearing PPE and dealing with a few milliliters at a time.
The maroon is strong in that woman. Plus, she is going to be bald as a cucumber with skin injuries. She'll be in a wig for a year to hide an ugly head. I can see long term and perhaps permanent hair and skin damage as the surface epidermal layer and root structure are likely to be damaged by acetone.
