When 40-year-old Tessica Brown ran out of Got2Be hairspray about a month ago, she resorted to Gorilla Glue spray instead.
"Bad, bad, bad idea," she said teary-eyed on a TikTok video that had been seen 20 million times as of Monday night. "I've washed it 15 times and it don't move."
Seeking some relief, Brown went to a nearby hospital and was sent home with products to help break down the glue, she said in a YouTube update.
Women from around the world sympathized with Brown.
"My scalp feels suffocated after a day of slick hair," I can’t even imagine the discomfort," one wrote on YouTube. "Praying for you sis."
"There has to be something that breaks down this damn glue," another said. "Wtf is it made of?! 😩 I feel so bad for her 😩😔."
More than $12,000 had been raised on a GoFundMe for Brown as of Monday evening.
Gorilla Glue recently released a statement saying it was "very sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident that Miss Brown experienced using our Spray Adhesive on her hair."
