An American black woman, who became a hot topic on social media, opened her mouth after seeing a frustration after applying a strong adhesive to her hair to straighten her curly hair.



Louisiana resident Tessica Brown, 40, said in an interview with Chicago ABC Broadcasting on the 26th (local time), "Recently, we have removed all the adhesive that was fixing the scalp and hair through surgery."



Brown posted a video on social media TikTok earlier this month complaining that "I can't remove the glue from my hair," sparking an explosive reaction.



In the video, he touched the hard hair like plastic and said, "My hair has been in this state for a month. It doesn't move at all."



When Brown was cleaning her hair for an outing last month, she found that her hairspray had run out, and she used the spray-type super glue she had at home instead.



"If I wash my hair later, I thought it would be washed off, but it wasn't," he cried, "I washed my hair 15 times, but nothing changed. It was a stupid idea."



He also said that he tried to peel off the adhesive using cooking oil and nail polish remover, but to no avail.



Brown uploaded this video to get advice on solving the problem, but 6.4 million people responded to the TikTok account alone, and 4 million people watched it through Instagram.



In a broadcast interview, Brown said, "Black women pay special attention to their hair from an early age. It is because I think that even if the skin is dark, if the hair is neat, it will look a little better." I regretted it.



Black beauty expert Rani Flowers said, "Over the past 400 years, black people, especially black women, have been assimilating to the white standard of'beauty', wanting to straighten and neat curly curls."



"I wanted to hear the story and help me get rid of the pain," said Dr. Michael Oben, a plastic surgeon who gave Brown the adhesive removal surgery for free.



Brown says that some of the $25,000 (about 30 million won) that viewers have raised through the fundraising campaign will be donated to Dr. Owen's Foundation to help women in need of emergency surgery.



"I hope that black women will accept and love themselves and their hair as they are," he said. "Through this, I realized that it is not my hair, but what I have in my head, that determines me."
