thank you. there's likely very little i would actually personally benefit from your content, being single, gay, and 30, but I subscribed and will pop open any videos that come up on my feed. humans with a strong moral compass, and heart-lead self governance & principles deserve to be lifted up and celebrated at every opportunity. thank you for being such an immaculate member of society. from this angle at least, you're doing an outstanding job. also, your daughter is stunning, and noticeably very well behaved and patient for her age.

This took me way back, I’m 73 yrs old and had a Caucasian step mom who did my hair. She had a couple of black girlfriends who taught her to press and curl my hair and later to perm it. I loved it when she gave me pixie bangs. She has since passed and I miss her dearly.

As a social worker, I’ve seen Black children with non Black foster/adoptive parents a lot. When I’d try to offer advice and even help with their Black children’s hair, a lot of them would either get offended or shy away from my offers instead of considering how much hair affects a child’s comfort levels, confidence, & self esteem. The fact that this momma has researched info on her daughter’s hair care and put her ego aside to make sure the child’s hair stays neat and healthy is SO WHOLESOME.

[@ChristyGior8]

[@coconutsciencegirl9232]

Especially an African American woman’s hair. It means everything. Not saying it doesn’t to white ladies but it’s more than just hair. It’s a whole culture. And for her to embrace it and listen to others and perfect it. That’s what real love looks like.

[@haliemorris9171]

Especially coming from the foster care system and growing up without anyone showing me how to do my own hair (and literally it wouldn't have been that hard) and knowing how much their hair means to my black friends, it just feels like such a powerful and positive message to put out.

My black mother didn’t know how to take care of mine and my sister’s 3b and 3c curls. She just passed down what she knew and that was to relax and straighten our hair with a hot comb. I didn’t even know what kind of curls I had under all that damaged hair. I’m 31 and just now learning to do mine and my girls 3b/c natural hair. Watching you do your daughter’s hair feels therapeutic. I love to see it.

[@pixigirl999]

I think that has more to do with the sign of the times. You have to remember that when you were coming up there was no KZbin, there were no books, hair care forums, blogs, etc. teaching black girls/women how to care for our hair. This woman and a bunch of other women in this day and age have the benefit and access to information that our moms didn’t.

as a chinese person, i don’t have any experience with african american hair and i hadn’t seen many videos of african american hairstyling prior to this one. videos like this are actually very insightful into the time and love that can be put into doing hair! in my family, not much attention was given to hair and i usually just wear mine down because it’s easiest. i think it’s beautiful how much love can be shown to children through styling their hair in a way that is comfortable for them, healthy for their hair, and gives them confidence in their skin! i hope to continue learning about creative ways to style different hair types so that i can style my future childrens’ hair with love, whatever their race is ❤️

That's what we ask for, for individuals to educate themselves on our cultural differences as we do with others. Effort goes a long way towards being comfortable and compassionate with all groups because at the end of the day we all bleed red.

[@radioactive_sunflowerz2450]

Yes this! Trust me any girls who come to you will be grateful for knowing anything! Growing up I had biracial or adopted friends who's mom's would take them to salons to get their hair done but the hair stylists wouldn't know how to work with it and would be either too intimidated or would mess up the hair. I think all cosmetology schools should have programs focusing on this! No woman should be turned down at a salon because of the texture of her hair!

The system is not the same in every country though. Some people foster to adopt, so the child stays with the family for a period and is assessed for their ability to care for them before adoption, and others foster a child until they are adopted out so they don’t have to be in a children’s home.
