14 Strong-Hold Hair Products to Use Instead of Gorilla Glue
If you know, you know. If you don't, let us explain...
One of the most curious news pieces to make headlines today was the story of a woman named Tessica Brown who purposely doused her hair with Gorilla Glue to lock her hairstyle into place after running out of her go-to Got2B Glued Blasting Freeze Spray. Unsurprisingly, the industrial-strength formula worked wonders on keeping her hairstyle intact—but also resulted in a trip to the hospital when the glue remained bonded to her hair weeks later.
In a statement released from the Gorilla Glue Company, a representative stated: “This product is not indicated for use in or on hair as it is considered permanent.” Nevertheless, the American brand says it’s “very sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident.”
Ahead, peruse GRAZIA’s curated edit of strong-hold hair products that will lock your hair into place from day to night—the Gorilla Glue of hair care products, if you will. Keep scrolling for a look at our favorite formulas of hairspray, gel, and more.
