Tessica Brown - also known as the Gorilla Glue Girl - has donated $20,000 to a charity run by the doctor who saved her hair after she coated it in the adhesive in lieu of hairspray.
According to TMZ, Brown, who raised a large sum of money on GoFundMe in a bid to crowdfund her expensive treatment to have the extra-strong glue brand removed from her hair, has elected to donate the vast majority of it to a good cause.
TMZ reports that Tessica will be gifting the majority of her cash to the Restore Foundation - a non-profit organization that provides reconstructive surgery services for those in need.
The organization is run by Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Obeng, who kindly offered to perform the four-hour-long procedure required to dissolve the glue and save her hair for free, after learning about her plight on social media.
TMZ further reports that Tessica plans to keep $1,000 of the GFM cash to pay for the emergency room visit she made in Louisiana before going to visit Dr. Obeng in Los Angeles.
The original video was posted to TikTok earlier this month when Tessica, 40, who also goes by the handle @Im_D_Ollady on the video-sharing platform, uploaded a clip of herself explaining that she had mistakenly used the glue to style her hair after running out of hairspray.
Tessica told her followers that her hair hack had worked and held her hair perfectly in place. In fact, it had worked a little too well...
Brown stated that she washed her hair 15 times, but over a month later it was still stuck in the same position.
Her original post documenting the unfortunate incident quickly went viral, accruing over 20 million views, 3.9 million likes, and over 133,000 comments from other TikTok users who were stunned by her foolhardy stunt.
In an official statement made on Twitter on February 8, a spokesperson for Gorilla Glue apologized for the incident and for any pain or distress Brown had suffered as a result.
The spokesperson wrote: "We are very sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident that Miss Brown experienced using our Spray Adhesive on her hair.
"This is a unique situation because this product is not indicated for use in or on hair as it is considered permanent. Our Spray Adhesive states on the label: 'do not swallow. Do not get on eyes, skin, or on clothing.'"
"It is used for craft, home, auto, or office projects to mount things to surfaces such as paper, cardboard, wood, laminate, or fabric. 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."
