I understand the surgeon used special solvent to save her hair, which I take to mean to get the glue out so the hair didn’t have to be cut.
I’d be afraid the solvent on top of the glue would so damage the hair and follicles to risk losing some hair permanently.
I would have said shave the hair and worry about removing all traces of glue from the scalp as gently as possible.
Hair grows back. It might even grow back healthier and more manageable.
I don’t know. Maybe the hair couldn’t be shave off because it was too shellacked to her head.
I see black women all the time with very, very short hair.
She would have been in turbans or wigs for two months max and then she would have looked like one of those black women with very short hair.
She has to have done long term damage on her hair and scalp. It may be a while before we/she realize what she has done.
This glue was not easy to get out and I can only imagine what was used to dissolve it. I won't be surprised if her hair breaks off in a few days.
