Hairspray ran out, so she used glue .. An American woman is asking for help, and social media responds

An American woman who had her hair straight with a very strong glue resorted to seeking help through social media to address the problem, and she was able to raise more than $ 15,000 before a surgery.

Tessica Brown - a resident of Louisiana - posted a video on TikTok at the end of last week, in which she explained that running out of her regular hairspray prompted her to use a very strong glue as an alternative, in the form of a spray.

"The idea was bad, bad, bad," said the forty-year-old, adding - on the verge of crying - that her hair had been sticking to her head "this way for a month."

This chemical glue, whose main ingredients are acetone and propane, should not come in contact with the skin, according to the product information sheet, as it can cause serious irritation.

During the days after applying the gum to her hair, Tessica Brown used many products and preparations, including coconut oil, to get rid of it, but to no avail, while Internet users suggested a number of solutions to her.

Last Saturday, Tesika posted pictures of her in the emergency department of a hospital in Chalmette, Louisiana, as she was hoping for help.

However, the visit was not enough. "It will be a really long process," said Tessica Brown on "Instagram" Monday.

The woman appealed for a donation so that she could cover the cost of her treatment, and had already collected more than $ 15,000 as of Tuesday.

TMZ published a video clip in which Tesika's friend cuts her hair and applies a new product, but without success.

Tessica Brown is heading to Los Angeles this week "to meet with plastic surgeon Michael Aubing, who will remove the gum," the doctor's spokeswoman told AFP.

The site indicated that Michael Obing was the one who provided his services spontaneously for free to Tessica, whose number of followers on TikTok nearly reached 800 thousand.

Beyoncé's hairdresser Neil Farina also offered to help through her Instagram account.
