What started off as another funny viral video now has social media users really concerned!
A woman shared a TikTok video about how she had been wearing the same hairstyle for the last month after using Gorilla Glue to lay her ponytail down, likely confusing it with Gorilla Snot gel. Sis tried every piece of advice the Internet has given her to no avail. Now, she’s seeking professional help. More inside…
A woman who went viral for using Gorilla Glue in her hair is now seeking professional help. Thankfully.
This week, Tessica (@Im_D_Ollady on IG) went viral after she shared a video explaining how she had been rocking the same exact hairstyle for the last month. Sis said she ran out of Got2B Glued hair spray, so she used Gorilla Glue adhesive spray to lay her hair down for her braided ponytail. The woman said she has tried everything to get the glue out – coconut oil, tea tree oil, shampooing multiple times. Everything.
Nothing has worked.
Now, we believe she may have confused the Gorilla Glue spray with the Gorilla Snot gel. The Gorilla Glue spray’s packaging looks similar to the Gorilla Snot gel packaging. However, where did she go to get the Gorilla Glue spray? Surely it wasn’t mixed in with her hair products, but maybe it was. Who knows.
Gorilla Glue allegedly responded to her viral video on social media, suggesting she use soapy water or rubbing alcohol to remove the glue. We say alleged because there’s debate about whether the response actually came from the company’s official account.
Hi there, we are sorry to learn about your experience! We do not recommend using our products in hair as they are considered permanent. You can try soaking the affected area in warm, soapy water or applying rubbing alcohol to the area.
Yesterday, Tessica provided an update for those concerned about her sticky situation. We’ve noticed the comments were all fun and games in her initial post. Now, people seem genuinely concerned about how she’s going to get this spray adhesive out of her hair, so she has been keeping us all informed. People have flooded her comments with suggestions on how to get the glue out:
Yesterday, Tessica – who is believed to be 40 – shared a picture herself at the St. Bernard Parish Hospital in Chalmette, Louisiana, seeking treatment. It appears they gave her acetone wipes and sterile water to try and get the glue out of her hair. She got her sister to help with removing it, but we’re not too sure how successful it was:
I’m a former ER nurse, now an NP. I’d look up the chemical bonds that make up the Gorilla Glue and whatever else she put in her hair …and look up what would break them down. Consult dermatology and pharmacists to ensure no future chemical reactions occurred then pray
Yeah I saw that – his answer was too simple. I think he didn’t consider the function of time (>month) and that Black women use multiple chemicals to achieve a single hairstyle (why representation matters). Her hair is also relaxed from what I can see – another chemical factor.
We’re confused why the medical professionals at the hospital didn’t try to remove this for her? Maybe the COVID-19 pandemic had something to do with it. It just seems rather odd they sent her on her way to basically figure it out on her own.
We pray she can get this stuff out of her hair with the least amount of damage.
