💇♀️ She just wanted flawless hair — but one spray turned into a full-blown internet meltdown 🤯 Tessica’s last-minute beauty fix became one of the year’s wildest viral moments… and it all started with a can. See how it happened (and how it ended) in the full story below!👇
What started as a quick fix for a bad hair day turned into a viral cautionary tale that gripped millions. Tessica Brown, a young woman from Louisiana, made a split-second decision she would come to regret — swapping out her usual hairspray for a household adhesive. What followed was a month-long ordeal, an internet frenzy, and even a potential lawsuit.
Tessica, who shares beauty tips on social media under the handle @im_d_ollady, prides herself on always looking polished. But one day, while rushing to style her hair, she ran out of hairspray. Determined to keep her slicked-back look flawless for her followers, she reached for what she thought would be a suitable substitute: Gorilla Glue spray adhesive — an industrial-strength product meant for hard surfaces, not hair.
To her, the mix-up didn’t seem too far-fetched. After all, some hair gels and sprays use terms like “glue” to describe their strong hold. But Gorilla Glue wasn’t formulated for curls — or anything remotely human.
The results were immediate and extreme. Her hair, which she had hoped to smooth into place, became stiff as a rock. Days turned into weeks, and despite numerous attempts with oils, shampoos, and home remedies, nothing could loosen the hardened shell that now coated her scalp. Her hair was stuck — literally.
Tessica took to TikTok and Instagram to document her journey, and what began as a simple warning video exploded across the internet. Millions watched as she tried, in vain, to remove the adhesive. Beauty influencers, haircare experts, and curious viewers all chimed in with advice — but nothing worked.
Even the Gorilla Glue company got involved, releasing a public statement clarifying that their product is only intended for materials like wood, stone, and metal — not for human use. While they wished her well, they gently reminded the public that hair is not listed anywhere on the label for a reason.
Eventually, Tessica sought professional medical help. A surgical procedure was required to remove the glue safely — and thankfully, her hair was saved. To cover the cost, she launched a crowdfunding campaign, hoping to raise $1,500. Support poured in, and the donations quickly surpassed $20,000.
But the story may not end there. Reports suggest Tessica is considering legal action against the glue manufacturer, claiming the label didn’t explicitly warn against applying the product to hair. While critics argue common sense should have prevailed, others believe the case raises interesting questions about product labeling and responsibility.
Now dubbed “Gorilla Glue Girl” by the internet, Tessica has turned an unfortunate mistake into unexpected fame. Whether the incident leads to a settlement or simply becomes a footnote in viral history, one thing’s for sure — she’s not reaching for anything labeled “glue” again anytime soon.
