This week’s ‘main character of the internet’ is Gorilla Glue Girl.
Tessica Brown hit the headlines after applying Gorilla Glue spray to her hair instead of her usual brand.
She needed hospital treatment to dissolve the glue, and has gained hundreds of thousands of followers from people looking for updates on the painful situation.
Donations of thousands of dollars even poured in from people wishing Tessica well, after a video of her screaming in pain as dissolver was poured on her head was viewed millions of times.
Needless to say, you shouldn’t apply Gorilla Glue to any part of your body, as it’s an adhesive designed for materials like wood, plastic, and stone.
If you’re looking for a very firm hold, though, there are plenty of options that won’t land you in A&E.
We’ve rounded up the top hair gels and sprays that’ll keep your style in place without any pain and upset.
Schwarzkopf Got2B Freeze Spray
This was the brand that Tessica had run out of when she decided to use Gorilla Glue.
Not only is this spray great for setting styles, its strong hold can be used to stick down wig caps with no budging.
L’Oreal Elnett Supreme Hairspray
With its iconic scent, Elnett hairspray is a favourite of stylists worldwide.
The micro diffuser nozzle distributes it evenly to finish off your style, making it easy to brush out afterwards. This one is great for those who want a firm hold but with a natural look.
Cantu Nature Hair Extra Hold Gel
Those with afro hair will know all about Cantu, with this gel being a staple for laying edges.
The best part of this gel is it doesn’t flake or leave greasy marks, keeping styles like ponytails in check all day.
TRESemme Freeze Hold Hairspray
If you use hairspray daily, you’ll need a lot on hand. This six-pack from TRESemme offers the highest level of hold from the brand, and will keep you going ages.
For those who suffer with frizz, a spritz of this before you head out will keep it in control.
£15.30 for a pack of six, Amazon
Aussie Instant Freeze Sculpting Gel
Boasting up to 20 hours hold, this gel is loved by those who do the curly girl method.
It’s enriched with jojoba oil and sea kelp to nourish your hair while keeping your style.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Firm Hairspray
John Frieda is the king of taming frizz, and this spray is no different.
If you get frizz at the slightest hint of humidity, this spray should tame flyaways and keep your hair from going like Monica in Friends’.
Moco Gorila Extreme Hold Gel
Some people assumed that Tessica had mistaken Gorilla Glue for this brand, which translates to Gorilla Snot.
Loved by people with tight curls, you only need a little bit of this to keep your style in place, whatever the weather.
ORS Olive Oil Edge Control Gel
The ORS range has plenty of products that’ll nourish your hair while keeping in place.
This edge gel has sweet almond oil in it, so it flattens those baby hairs but doesn’t damage them at the same time.
