Her hair dyed and now theyre trying to revive it.
Louisianas Tessica Brown, who went viral earlier this year for
using Gorilla Glue as hairspray, has undergone stem cell therapy
to revive her hair after a disastrous dye job caused it to fall
out.
Im just praying that it works, the greater New Orleans-area
native told The Post of the procedure, which went down Wednesday
at the La Fue Hair Clinic in Pasadena, Calif. The follicular
fiasco had occurred earlier this month after the 39-year-old
mother of five attempted to conceal some gray hairs with dye but
ended up burning her scalp and losing her luscious locks, a side
effect she documented in a TikTok that racked up 2.9 million
views.
Browns representative Gina Rodriguez claimed that chemicals
used to remove the glue from her hair this year interacted with
the dye, causing her mane to melt.
In order to remedy her bad hair day, La Fue hair specialist
Jacques Abrahamian employed a combination of platelet-rich
plasma and stem cell therapy, services that could cost $4,000 to
$6,000.
PRP uses her own growth factors and platelets found in her
blood that heals and rejuvenates the follicles, Jacques told
The Post in a phone call Wednesday. The other procedure is stem
cell therapy, the king when it comes to natural healing and
repair.
The mane maven added: We mix the PRP and the stem cells, and we
inject it using a very fine needle to the areas that have been
damaged.
As a result, not only does the shedding decrease, according to
Jacques, but the treatment will promote new hair growth and
expand the life cycle of the existing hairs that she has,
helping her to regain some of its former density. He added that
the therapys growth-accelerating benefits should take effect in
around six to nine months.
Nothing thats gonna happen overnight, but the shedding should
stop real soon, a hopeful Brown told The Post.
The only downside is that Gorilla Glue girl will have to wait
several months before dyeing her hair again. When the time
comes, Abrahamian recommends an organic hair dye without
paraphenylenediamine, a chemical widely used in conventional
hair dyes, which he said caused Browns initial allergic
reaction.
Brown, for one, is not going to roll the dye when it comes to
hair colorants. I think Im just going to stick with that, she
said. At this point, Im just scared.
Its been a long road for Brown, who spawned nationwide
facepalms after styling her with Gorilla Glue and sharing her
hardship on social media in February. She had resorted to the
ill-advised sculpting method as she was late for a date and
didnt have any traditional hair adhesive.
Go figure: The Gorilla Glue wouldnt come out of her hair no
matter how much she washed it and she feared that she was going
to lose it entirely. Thankfully, celebrity plastic surgeon Dr.
Michael Obeng caught wind of Browns sticky situation and
rescued her hair via a lengthy operation this past February.
