The saga of ‘Gorilla Glue Girl’ Tessica Brown has finally seen its end as she got her hair unstuck after undergoing surgery, ending over a month long ordeal.
Brown described the initial superglue disaster in a super-viral TikTok video, then spent a week documenting her efforts to wash out the glue before a surgeon finally did it for her on Wednesday.

The sticky saga dates back to early February, when Brown first posted a TikTok video describing her hairy situation at length.
In the video, the 40-year-old from Louisiana explains that she ran out of Got2b Glued hair spray in the middle of doing her hair. Brown says she tried to improvise by using a can of Gorilla spray adhesive to finish the job.

It ended in a complete disaster and she went looking for answers, but couldn’t get it fixed. A surgery is what it took to finally get her out of the misery.
The surgery was performed by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Michael Obeng, who offered to do the $12,500 procedure for free.
Dr. Michael Obeng removed the glue during a four-hour surgery on Wednesday, TMZ reports. The plastic surgeon used a combination of medical-grade adhesive remover, aloe vera, olive oil and acetone to dissolve the glue.
Video captured by the outlet shows Brown waking from her anesthesia, running a hand through her loose hair and bursting into tears.
Brown will have to wait some time before putting her hair into a ponytail or using a weave, but it looks like she’ll get to keep her head of hair — and she’ll be able to style it in many different ways in the future.
