Readers, meet Tessica Brown. Her story is going viral after she used Gorilla Glue in her hair after she ran out of hairspray:

When we first saw this video on TikTok, we assumed it was a prank. But nope! It’s real:
She even went to the ER for treatment where they recommended using acetone to dissolve the glue, but that failed:
Brown has reportedly hired a lawyer to explore her legal options against Gorilla Glue:

You see, the waring label on the ultra-strong adhesive doesn’t specifically say to not put it in your hair:

Hey, the person who spilled hot coffee in their lap cashed in big, why not her?
Gorilla Glue, hair is NOT skin.
Your product failed to adequately warn, knowing hair glue in fact exists and many Black women use hair glue as hair adhesive & for this, your company is liable.
You should have given her a sponsorship deal.
Instead you will be held accountable https://t.co/DvLzfFVkJI

A plastic surgeon has offered to remove the glue from her hair for free, so we might thankfully be at the end of this story:

And Beyonce’s hairstylist offered his services once it’s removed or, as a last resort, she’s forced to shave her head:
