A TikToker who used Gorilla Glue on her hair instead of hair spray has had a medical procedure to help unstick her hair. 

Tessica Brown, whose hair has now been glued down for over a month, flew to California from Louisiana on Wednesday to see a Beverly Hills surgeon.

Dr Michael Obeng offered to perform a $12,500 (£9,000) procedure for free using medical-grade glue remover to help Brown.

Previously, she visited her local ER department, where medics tried to remove the glue with acetone wipes.

Obeng said Brown was "doing well" after the procedure, which involves a usually-pricey chemical treatment. 

"The surgery went well," he told CBS. "Tessica is doing well. She’s awake. The hair crew is doing her hair."

Speaking on Tuesday, Obeng told CBSLA he felt "compassion and sympathy" for the social media star. 

Brown's story went viral after she posted a video of her predicament to social media asking for help.

"I never was going to take this to social media. The reason I took this to social media was because I didn’t know what else to do," Brown told Entertainment Tonight.

"And I know somebody out there could have told me something. I didn’t think for one second when I got up the next morning it was gonna be everywhere," she added.

The mother of five said she quickly used the glue after running out hair spray and assumed that it would just wash out.

She used olive, tea tree and other oils to try and remove it before spending 22 hours in the ER department of a Louisiana hospital.

"I told my son today, ‘I wish I could just go back,’ because I’m over it. I’m over it," Ms Brown added. 

The glue manufacturer took to Twitter to address the "unfortunate situation" and pointed out that the product was not intended for hair use and was "considered permanent".
