I found the CBS interview with Dr Obeng. The procedure took 3 hours. He’s helping this lady for free. 
I can’t help thinking the law suit lies with the regulatory body that allowed a hair product to be called ‘glue’. Keep in mind tax dollars support a large body to regulate this very kind of thing. Large staff, secure jobs, great benefits, etc. At the very least I would expect them to require the wording be, ‘hair glue’, not JUST glue. I think you could make a case they dropped the ball.
I’m so glad they helped her, and she’ll be alright. Her hair was very long and beautiful before this, and she had to chop her pony tail right off.
Be aware that super glue will cover any infection-causing dirt under it. So be sure you clean the wound thoroughly before applying the Liquid Skin.
I looked up a picture of the spiking glue and it says STYLING spiking glue and the instructions are about how to use it in your hair. Up until now one of them being in the hair care aisle and the other being in the hardware aisle has been enough to keep someone from making a stupid mistake.
Someday her hair will be long and beautiful again and hopefully she’ll stop and think before acting on another one of her bright ideas. Gorilla Glue will probably put some kind of “do not use on skin or hair” disclaimer on its products going forward. I will always be grateful that the worst thing I ever had to wash out of my hair was bird poop.
Hey, the phrase “bad, bad, bad” is ® to Beck. Didn’t you know that?
Tell that to Tessica Brown.
From the link:
I’m glad the lady got the help she needed.
Hey, we’ve all made dumb mistakes. Sometimes, those mistakes have hurt us. The difference is that we didn’t have our dumb mistake plastered all over over social media for bullies to attack us.
I hope she can now retreat back into obscurity and get on with her life.
It didn’t take long for the gorilla glue challenge. The stupidity just gets worse.
Yeah, OK, THAT guy is a dumbass.
At least Ms. Brown from her first TikTok video was telling people it was a bad idea, a bad mistake, and don’t do it, learn from her mistake. She was NOT issuing on some sort of “challenge”.
THIS idiot… 
To any self-respecting adolescent child, surely “don’t do it” is the standard way to issue a challenge.
What is the deal with people from Louisiana?
So how DO you take off polyurethane at room temperature and without poisoning the patient (too much)? It seems horribly irresponsible, if true, that the victims were randomly doused with acetone in the emergency room, which naturally did nothing but irritate their skin. E.g dimethylformamide is already a “2” on the toxicity diamond.
Not sure if I saw this here but I couldn’t help but think about this guy waxing his head of hair.
Dude in that video hadn’t been adolescent for years.
Ask the plastic surgeon in LA who actually did the job. Although I note from the video posted on line that Ms. Brown was 1) sedated 2) had an oxygen cannula 3) had some sort of covering over her eyes during the procedure. It also seemed that some effort was being made to keep the solvent on the lady’s hair and minimize how much it touched her skin, with a LOT of flushing the area with water.
As we have seen in this thread, the notion that Gorilla Glue (any of their adhesives) is the same a Crazy Glue is a common notion even if untrue. Acetone will act as a de-bonding agent for Crazy Glue/cyanoacrylate cement. If the ER folks think that Gorilla Glue=cyanoacrylate or for some other reason think that’s what got into someone’s hair it’s not an unreasonable substance to use.
Except that the stuff in Ms. Brown’s hair wasn’t cyanoacrylate.
Frankly, I’m somewhat amazed the lady retained as much hair as she did after the procedure.
In body, an adult. In mind and judgement, maybe not so much.
Doc, for the love of all that’s good in the world, tell us how to dissolve polyurethane adhesive! Asking for everyone who’s ever gotten an accidental blob or smear of the stuff on them.
“Hair glue” is totally a thing, and not just the Got2b Glued brand. Of course it’s a little dumb to apply to your hair any random glues you may have lying around the house, but the case makes me wonder if glue manufacturers from Elmer’s on down are, even now, working on their new “Not for Hair” disclaimer labels.
The idea that she was going to or is planning to sue the makers of Gorilla Glue is not true according to her.
She is almost certainly getting shit for this way out of proportion to what she actually deserves. She regrets posting the video in the first place.
True, but the plastic surgeon who helped her probably would not have become aware of her situation without the publicity.
