TikToker Tessica Brown, known on the app as @im_d_ollady, didn't know she would go viral when she put Gorilla glue in her hair in place of her holding spray, but life finds ways to surprise you.

It's no secret that everyone wants laid edges when they’re doing their hair, whether it’s a sleek ponytail or a blowout. There are a variety of ways to “lay” edges, from using edge control and an edge brush to brushing it down with holding spray. When she ran out of her holding spray, Tessica decided to use Gorilla glue instead. While the glue certainly laid her ponytail, it’s not the ideal image of “laid” that she had because now her hair won’t move... after a month.

Tessica was going for a low sleek braided ponytail and that’s the style she has, but it wasn’t achieved like your normal low ponytail would be. The deep side part ponytail with a swooped front is normally done using gel and/or edge control and it’s secured with freeze spray. In her case, she wanted to use Got 2B glue, a popular glue for weaves and sleek ponytail styles, but she was out. In hopes of still having a slicked-down ponytail, Tessica used Gorilla glue. Yes, the type of gorilla glue that is used to bond plastics. “Bad, bad, bad idea,” Tessica said in a TikTok video.

“For those of y’all that know me, y’all know my hair has been like this for a month now. It’s not my choice,” Tessica told her followers. She expressed that she’s tried to wash her hair and it is stuck. “My hair… it don’t move. I’ve washed my hair fifteen times and it don’t move,” she said.

Following the original video, she even attempted to put shampoo on it in another video and, of course, it didn’t budge.

After going viral, Tessica’s has now all of social media invested hair journey. She went on Instagram to update everyone on the process and claimed she put coconut oil and tea tree oil on her hair with plastic on it. When someone commented and asked if it worked she responded, “No.”

According to Gorilla Glue's website, the glue can be removed with acetone. But, with the way acetone dries out nails and skin, we can only imagine the amount of drying it will do to Tessica's scalp or the amount of damage that it has already caused to her crown. “We do not recommend using our products in or on hair as they are considered permanent. If someone does use this on their hair, they can try soaking the affected area in warm, soapy water or apply rubbing alcohol to the affected area,” Gorilla Glue said in a statement to Beauty IRL. “If her hair has truly been glued down to her scalp and immobile for a month with that many aggressive attempts to wash it out, it is possible her hair is fractured at the root but we certainly hope for the best. Her marketing team reached out to us and we have offered to speak with her to share these suggestions as well as checked in on her wellbeing. Safety is our top priority.”

Whatever you do, please don't try this at home. If you ever find yourself in a similar dilemma of missing hair spray or gel, dab your hairbrush in water and slick your hair back. If you have any oils, feel free to add them to the hair as they will add weight to the hair. It may not be as sleek as you want it, but at least it'll move when you're ready to remove it. Whatever you do, steer clear of Gorilla glue for hair purposes!
