It’s All Bad: Woman Sprays Actual Glue On Hair After Running Out Of Hairspray
Sis, that is not washing out.
In what may become the most epic hair fail of 2021, Tessica Brown has gone viral for her questionable choice in hair products. It seems she thought Gorilla Glue was a suitable replacement for her go-to göt2b Glued hairspray. It surely was not.

Brown took to TikTok on Feb. 3 to share it was the reason she has been rocking the same slicked-back ponytail braid for a whole month.
“Bad, bad, bad idea,” she says in the video. “I have washed my hair 15 times and it [doesn’t] move. Stiff where?”
To be clear, göt2b Glued products do not contain glue. Gorilla Glue, however, is an industrial-strength, damn near magical, glue that instantly bonds metal, concrete and glass. It even works on wood because it expands into the materials. Think super glue on steroids.
And, that glue is now in her hair cuticles.
But Brown is determined to find a way. Since her first post, she has shared that she has tried several new ideas, including conditioner and sleeping with coconut and tea tree oil to try and loosen the bond.
Nothing has worked so far.
Gorilla Glue even pulled up on Twitter to recommend she “try soaking the affected area in warm, soapy water or applying rubbing alcohol to the area.” But, it didn’t seem hopeful as the company said their products are considered permanent.
Stylists have previously shared that acetone works, too.
We’re rooting for you, sis. But, this might be the year of the buzz cut for you.
And to all, please don’t try this at home. As if products on the market aren’t toxic enough, please do not add to the misery by putting products in your hair that are not intended for your hair or skin. If that spray is on her skin, too, she will literally have to wait until her skin cells shed for it to come off.
Ugh.
