Tessica Brown, the woman who infamously used Gorilla Glue to slick down her hair and went through a weeks-long ordeal to get it removed, is undertaking a new venture. She has started her own line of hair care products and proven that all things are possible in a country where adults are unclear about homophones.
Brown, whose viral video showed her explaining that she had used Gorilla Glue while attaching a ponytail and asking for suggestions on how to get the glue out, told TMZ that the line was inspired by her hair rescue journey.
The name, you ask? “Forever Hair.” That’s it.
We’re sure that at some point, Brown thought that her hair would be in shellack mode forever. It’s both apropos and clever marketing that her brand would make prospective customers think about eternity.
So far, the products include hairspray for $14, sleek edge control for $13 and hair growth drops for $18. They can be purchased on Tessica Brown’s website. While you’re there, you can also find apparel with her face on it because why the hell not?
In an arguably nightmarish twist, the apparel is sold out; the hair products are not.
Brown was eventually rescued by California plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Obeng who surgically removed the adhesive from her hair using a special formula that only he is privy to at the moment.
On Instagram, she posted a video demonstrating how her Forever Hold hairspray can hold hair like Gorilla Glue but is safe for the scalp.

Brown said she worked with a team of professionals to develop her brand and that her Stimulating Growth Oil is what helped her tresses recover after her surgery.
We applaud any Black woman who can turn internet infamy into a bag. Let’s hope the directions on her products are in large print.
