Have you ever made a mistake that you thought you could correct later when you have time? Has a mistake occurred and damage has already been done? Well that holds true to a 40-year old woman in Louisiana who spray gorilla glue spray on her hair. More than a month ago, Tessica Brown, a 40-year old Louisiana woman ran out of her Got2B Glued hairspray and turned to Gorilla Glue spray believing it would hold down her hairstyle in a similar way (WGN Tv). In a video released on TikTok, Brown explains that she uses the Gorilla Glue as a substitute for Got2B for a quick fix to run to town. In the video, she asked for help on how to remove the substance as she has tried to wash it out many times. Unbeknownst to her, Gorilla Glue mixed with water makes it harden even more.
With this dilemma, she endured this pain for a month. Seeking guidance from users of social media and how to remove, Tessica Brown tries all avenues and fails again to remove the superglue. People all over the world raised money an GoFundMe and donated 20,000 and helpful hair products. With nothing left to do, Brown visits the hospital and gives her acetone wipes to try to fix the problem. She then goes home with the supplies and her friend removes the ponytail with Goof Off (yet another mistake!) but the superglue is still intact
As a last resort, It took a trip to Beverly Hills and a visit to celebrity plastic surgeon Michael Obeng last week for Brown to finally get rid of her sticky hair during a four-hour procedure (New York Post).The surgeon did the surgery completely free and Brown is so grateful that hair was able to remain intact. She has since used the money for donations to go to charity. Even though Brown was met with lots of love and concern, she was also hit with ridicule and malicious tweets.
For this incident, she received an opinion of mixed views. Some were empathy and compassionate about her ordeal but some would say she used her platform as a way of getting clout. The ones that say this was a form of catching her 15 minutes of fame has to do with people on the Internet doing foolish things in the past. For example when the cinnamon challenge was introduced. In 2012, the cinnamon challenge was a viral internet food challenge. The premise of the challenge is that one films themself eating a spoonful of ground cinnamon in under 60 seconds without drinking anything. Also the Kylie Jenner challenge or people were dared to eat Tide pods because it was trendy. I can see how some would say this mishap is equivalent to these challenges. Overall, Tessica Brown says it was a colossal mistake that she would not make again. Whether or not you believe this to be true, your guess is as good as mine.
