Gorilla Glue do is no more - Speedy - 02-13-2021

For the first time in weeks, Tessica Brown is Gorilla Glue-free.
The Louisiana woman went viral earlier this month when she revealed on TikTok that she had used the adhesive, which is not meant for skin or hair, in place of her normal hairspray and couldn't remove it. She said that even a trip to the emergency room hadn't solved the problem.
But on Wednesday, Brown had surgery, performed by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Michael K. Obeng, to remove the glue from her hair.
"Initially I thought it was a joke," Obeng told TMZ about the situation.
"It's medical hair adhesive remover that we used in the operating room, the company was very generous to us, they brought me some," Dr. Obeng said.
After the four-hour procedure, Brown's hair was free.
"The procedure was a success. Dr. Obeng was able to remove all of the Gorilla Glue out of her hair," Gina Rodriguez, Brown's manager, told NBC News. "She is currently resting and healing from the ordeal. As you can imagine, Tessica's scalp is extremely sensitive right now and will need some time to recover."

What, she couldn't just cut her hair or shave her head?

Really good, sharp work by the doc.
Don't know if could have shaved the hair, but why do that when you don't have to?

I can report that Gorilla Duct Tape on my hairy leg was A-OK.
Used it to wrap my foot in a plastic bag while showering after foot surgery. Thought the tape would be hard to remove but it came off easily and kept my foot nice and dry.

Seems like an expensive expenditure of medical resources 'if' cutting cutting the affected hair would have removed the problem....it'll grow back.
I'm sure I'm missing something.

Look at the "before" video in this article to see what it was like. The hair was encased in a layer of polyurethane glue firmly to her scalp, no way to cut it, comb it, or access an individual strand of hair.

Two weeks.
Adhering to flesh and hair.
Withstood repeated soaking in acetone.
Skin sheds in 4-6 week cycles. Hair grows at 2cm/month and women tend to have several days of strong shedding each month. The stuff should have been fraying, but it looked like a fresh application right up until the solvent hit it.
Heck of a promo for their spray-glue.

Accident syndrome, I had to look & it wasn't hard to find her pixs on-line...
...and now I truly regret it...

The strangest thing to me is that anyone would actually put it out for the whole world to see!
Maybe it's a PSA now...

It’s what she does.
