Woman who used Gorilla Glue on her scalp after running out of hair spray has reportedly hired a lawyer to sue the company.
The new development comes after a lengthy trip to the Emergency Room (ER) to remove the product proved to be unsuccessful, TMZ reports.
It would be recalled that last week, the 40-year-old woman identified as Tessica Brown, from Violet, Louisiana, cried out about her dilemma, warning people to stay away from using adhesive on their hair.
In a series of now-viral videos, Brown revealed that her hair has been stuck in the style of a braided ponytail for about a month after she sprayed Gorilla Glue on her actual hair.
Following her outcry, she checked in into the Emergency Room to receive medical attention.

However, after spending 22 hours in the ER with health workers attempting to help her out of her dilemma by putting acetone on her head, nothing seems to work.
Sources told the publication that the acetone burned her scalp and only made the glue sticky before it dried up again, leaving her with the same immovable hair she started with.
Tessica, who has been stuck with the same hairdo for weeks now, was reportedly advised to keep trying the acetone at home.
On Sunday, she shared a photo of her sterile water and nail polish remover wipes and wrote;
This is really about to be a long process.
Gorilla Glue company itself suggested she try using rubbing alcohol to remove the glue, and Brown previously posted footage of her friend attempting the at-home solution to no avail.
There are now reports that Brown has hired an attorney and looking into her legal options against Gorilla Glue because she thinks the spray adhesive’s label is misleading.
Label on the front of adhesive spray bottle says it bonds fabric, paper, wood, metal, and more. While it also states it’s an eye and skin irritant but doesn’t specifically mention hair.
Even though Gorilla Glue states on the packaging that it is permanent, Brown thought it was okay to use because the bottle said ‘multi-purpose.’
Reacting to the situation, Gorilla Glue released a statement via its social media platforms on Monday, saying;
We are aware of the situation and we are very sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident that Miss Brown experienced using our Spray Adhesive on her hair,’ the brand wrote.
This is a unique situation because this product s not indicated for use in or on hair as it is considered permanent. Our spray adhesive states in the warning label “do not swallow. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing”.
The company added;
We are glad to see in her recent video that Miss Brown has received medical treatment from her local medical facility and wish her the best.’
Meanwhile, amid her woes, Brown has started a Go Fund Me campaign to cover her medical bills and has already raised nearly $11,000.
Also, the woman has reportedly flown from Tessica is flying Wednesday from Louisiana to Los Angeles to meet a Beverley Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Obeng, who says he can fix her problems with a lengthy procedure.
