Hear that Disney? NO PARENT HAD TO DIE
-
Me the whole time: "Don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry"
-
I find it highly shocking that this book is banned from some schools, Hair Love is so sweet and so wonderful in it’s messaging of a father taking care of his daughter.
-
It is so cool to finally see the mother be darker than the father. The mother is usually always lighter so this is so beautiful. I love this short so much.
-
But nobody’s talking about how the girls hair is literal goals👀
-
I just realized that she was cancer-free at the end and that was the best thing i saw today
-
As a survivor and a mom of a young daughter, thank you 🥺❤️
-
Dad learns how important hair is to people and how to have patience to style his daughter’s properly, Mom gains the confidence to rock the bald look like the warrior queen she is, and let’s not forget how absolutely precious the little girl is throughout the entire thing.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO ACCIDENTALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE DAD

disney: *kills the mom* sony: *keeps the mom alive* disney: :000

I think no matter a person's skin tone or cultural background, ALL FATHERS are terrified to do their daughter's hair. This video has layers of sweetness and emotion, but to see the dad trying (and struggling!) but getting there in the end is brilliant. And the fact that he is continuing to do her hair during the credits and wasnt just a 'stand-in' while his wife was sick is a gorgeous detail. This film totally deserved it's Oscar 💖
-
5:34 I am moved by this scene 🥲 From the daughter's face and intentions, it is clear what she wanted to tell her mother from the ❤: "I love you mom, no matter what you look like now, whether you have hair or not, you will always remain the most beautiful to me.🥰" I LOVE THIS SCENE
-
I thought the mom died at first but then I remembered: this isn’t disney🤣
-
“See now wasn’t that easy!” me and all the other black girls laughing in the distance.
-
Finally, dads are getting the love they deserve
-
Is no one talking about how the mum is slaying the bald headed look?!
-
Is someone cutting onions? At the beginning, I thought her mom had died.
-
Who’s here after they just won the Oscar. This short film is so sweet it brought tears to my eyes ❤️
-
I’m not even gonna lie. I’ve been feeling pretty cynical lately due to the amount of disrespect, disregard and mistreatment I feel BW get. More so darker skinned black women. This however, has put a smile and tears on my face. This is truly a healing video and we need more of this !
-
This is beautiful.... I wish more stories like these existed for little black girls
