The right haircut can change your life.
Tessica Brown’s tresses are finally free, after previously styling her hair with Gorilla Glue and tangling herself into a sticky situation when the product wouldn’t budge. The Louisiana woman went viral on social media for documenting her struggles to remove it, but only found relief following a successful procedure with a plastic surgeon in Los Angeles.
Now Brown — probably feeling brand-new — has debuted a sleek new look to start fresh. On Sunday, the 40-year-old visited a local barbershop in her home state for a trim and style, TMZ reports. The makeover at Below Zero in Violet was said to be free of charge, as the professionals empathized with her now-viral plight.

During a four-hour procedure on Feb. 11, Dr. Michael Obeng used a special solution to lift the polyurethane-based product. As seen in footage shared by the outlet, Brown cried when she touched her tresses and wished she hadn’t cut her ponytail off.
