In the video, Brown, who has been nicknamed the ''Gorilla Glue Girl'' by social media users after her clip went viral revealed her hair has since not moved for about a month despite trying herself and visiting the hospital to get the glue removed.

Brown traveled to the Beverly Hills office of Dr Michael Obeng on Wednesday to get help from the renowned Ghanaian plastic surgeon.
Dr Obeng offered to help after seeing a video Brown posted on TikTok, expressing agony.
''The goal is to be able to dissolve the glue and not burn her scalp,'' Obeng revealed.
Aside from Dr Obeng's benevolence, a GoFundMe page has raised more than $18,000 (GHC104,580.) to support Brown.
