On February 4, Tessica Brown, a TikToker from Louisiana shared a video of herself in a sleek ponytail hairstyle that she'd had for a month. After running out of your usual go-to, she traded Got 2b Glued Blasting Freezing Spray (the actual hair spray) with Gorilla Spray Adhesive.

She's been to the ER and tried home treatments to no success. Social media users are following her story update by update in curiosity and most of all concern as the situation proves to be direr than initially anticipated.
