In the beginning, I thought the little girl had a ballet dance or something similar at school, when it showed it was actually to bring her mom home, my god, I cried.
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.
Yeah it's both colorism and sexism when the woman is always lighter than the man. It's done because lighter skin is seen as more beautiful than dark skin and because people believe that in a relationship the woman should be the better looking one. But in reality dark skin is very beautifu. And in addition to that the woman doesn't always have to be "the better looking one" (not to say that the mom here doesn't look beautiful, she's absolutely stunning).
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.
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.
I think he already knew the importance of hair: he certainly did his own and he married a hair stylist who makes TH-cam videos to help other women style their hair. The problem he was having was it was likely he learned how to do his hair from his own mother rather than his father. Hair styling to him was something children bond over with their mothers, not their fathers. And men don't use the same amount of hair care products as women do (we've seen the his/her comparison pictures on the Internet). So it was no wonder he was overwhelmed when he looked at his daughter's desk full of hair-care products and nope-d. In the end, he simply didn't know what to do or how to do it. He knew it was important to Zuri, but lack of confidence held him back. That's why he needed to hear his wife's words and realize he's not the only one who feels that way and that's why his wife made her channel in the first place. Not just for the women, but the men as well. Especially since they already traveled down a rough road and made it out alright (his wife's cancer) and that's how they can support her in her recovery.
I was so afraid that babies Mama was going to be dead and then when there was a happy ending I felt such relief. Then I noticed this was Sony and not Disney.
I thought the mom had died I was like “oh no u can’t do this to me” and then I saw her and I was so relieved. Even more when her hair started growing back in the credits 🤧
I was crying hard from the beginning and then cried harder seeing the mother growing ever so strong and the whole family so loving of each other. Sony knows how to cut them onions in my bedroom. 😭
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 ❤️
How can anyone dislike this, fr? It's beautiful! I had a family member go bald because of cancer, the part on the hospital made me cry, the message is so beautiful
I really needed this when i was a kid. I recently threw away my straightener not bc its wrong to straighten your hair but bc i felt i had to. I love my curly hair and im tired of people telling me to straighten it
I'm happy to hear you're embracing it! I don't have this hair type or the struggles that come with it, but I always thought that seeing natural hair in it's natural form was always beautiful. Sure, straight hair can look all nice and sleek at times, but there is something about that natural beauty that totally overrides it.
I wish I felt the same. Not because others always told me too, but because being from a mixed family where a lot of people were white with "good" hair, my small side as never taught the proper ethnic hair care. :( Straight is just manageable. (I have very thick curly frizzy hair)
I’m as white as a sheet of paper but I love this. I understand that people of color have struggles with their hair and that is hard to find good representation so I loved this.
The best way to approach this film Is by not noticing the colour. " I don't ever say I as black as the ace of spades but really appreciate white people in cinderella. " I think the take away here should be it's a fantastic story that doesn't even need the black representation to make it good
@@kazemTrainsixpackabs "it doesn't need black representation to make it good" the short film is about managing afro hair, what other race could be a stand in for that exactly?
I started crying when daughter showed her dad a tablet with tutorial of woman and girl, and then seeing her mom in hospital broke my heart, but I'm so glad for happy ending!
This story is beautiful and really hits deep and is special to me. 8 years ago I lost my grandmother who basically raised me growing up to cancer. She was the only other person besides my mother growing up who knew how to manage my unruly curls. I still cry every time I watch this. ❤

This brought back some memories for me. When I was very young (4 or 5) my mom's legs got crushed and broken in a bad car accident. While she was in the hospital my dad had to do my sister's hair. Of course he had it looking jacked and when we went to visit my mom she saw my sister's hair and started laughing. My dad and I had to go to the store and buy a list of hair products so my mom could redo my sister's hair right there in her hospital room. She was in pain, her legs had metal braces and pins in them and she could barely move but she still fixed my sister's hair and had my dad take detailed notes. By the time my mom was discharged a month later my dad's hair skills were almost as good as hers.
I totally loved the animation, it took me back to childhood times. In my opinion, this kind of animation is nowadays very rare. I appreciate that it still hasn´t disappeared from cinematography. The story was emotional. The way Zuri gave Angela a picture of her without hair was so lovely and touching. It shows no matter, how she looks, her daughter will always love her. I really enjoyed this short animated film.
I cried realising her mum had cancer bc in the start I thought she died and then when I saw her in the hospital, I thought her time was going to be over. In the credits she grew back her hair and that made me happy. 😌💕🦋
My 7yr old daughter show me this yesterday...I had an accident and spend 5 months in the hospital without being able to see her..was fight back tears all the time because it brings back so many memories.
Why does this get to me every single time 😭 it's such a simple short story but it's unbelievably sweet, wholesome, and so full of heart. And the soundtrack is also very good, it compliments the story well
Such a lovely story. I really thought baby girl’s mommy passed, thankfully she’s a survivor. Baby girl has soooo much love reminds me of how my little one feels so safe and loved at home ❤
totally didn't start sobbing. I'd been avoiding this video for months in fear of being disappointed in myself, and while I'm still wiping tears, this video means so much more and I know it'll mean the world to so many others. This empowered me to give my hair as much love as I should to myself. Thank you.
They could put it on before the main movue starts. Like Black Panther etc. Black made movies. And especially kids movies. But be thankful its right here so people can watch it whenever.
Everything about this touched my heart! Firstly the little girl looks sooo much like my own daughter, is around the same age too. We watched it together. The way the dad is struggling doing laundry and then has to tackle a hair routine he isn't used to, also relatable for me as I had to learn afro hair in order to do my daughter's and that's been an amazing thing for us both but I definitely felt like I was in that ring with her hair at times! Especially when I'm exhausted or in pain. I suffer from chronic illnesses and many health issues so even the mother and daughter part made me want to cry! Sometimes I am hospitalised and away from my family for tough periods of time or can't be what they need me to be. I just loved all of it. The representation of so many things into a small film made it highly emotional ❤
I love how when the mom took off her scarf the little girl looked happy. Imagine how much people would dislike this film if she looked at her mother with disgust?!?

@@Bree8tiveBEing in the actual video, he used a brush. This short is based off a REAL story video uploaded by the father in the short, here it is: th-cam.com/video/B3Zh5JhDe7s/w-d-xo.html
I remember being in her shoes as a kid. Having thick, 4c hair wasn't something I loved about myself, but as I got older I learned to appreciate the beauty and thickness of my hair. This hits home.
@@allanahkelly4583 Figuring out your hair type can be fustrating. There's the obvious categories like straight, wavy, curly, and coily, but there are also several other factors to consider in pinpointing your unique hair type, including your hair’s porosity and scalp moisture. I suggest watching a few TH-cam videos about finding your *curl type*
In 2016, Mathew cherry tweeted that he has an Oscar worthy idea for a short film and today it won the Oscar. I wish I can show that kind of confidence in things I do.
That shit pissed me off. That makes this LITERAL Oscar bait, which was my thought when I first saw this. It's not a real heartfelt film, it just exists to get attention.
This video means the most to me, my mother had a natural hair channel as well and her doing my hair was how we bonded, when I was thirteen she had cancer and sadly passed away. Learning how to do my hair was extremely hard. When she took care of it, it reached down to my behind. But after she passed I just got silk presses because I didn’t know how to take care of it. My hair then started falling out and I was completely lost. But my dad watched her videos and did what ever he could to help me style it even though he had no clue what he was doing
After the mother teaches her daughter to see her own beauty, love and accept herself, the daughter returns the favor. Love is the gift the keeps on giving; always comes full circle.
@@peridozq9390 then its not as long/full as hers. 4c hair actually tends to be the biggest type of hair cause of the tight curls. See how there's no real curl definition in her hair? That's 4c hair😂
@@peridozq9390 give it time, it'll grow. My niece is 4c, 8 years old and her hair is huge! Shes never had any chemicals in it or heat, just yet because of her age. Be patient, length comes with work and time.
@Evil Parakeets it's a hair type. Hair types range from 1-4, a-c (except 1 which is just straight hair). 2 is wavy, 3 is curly and 4 in coily/kinky/super duper curly. If you Google 'hair typing chart' , you'll see pictures

if they lose out to Disney and Pixar I’m going to be so pissed. But they beat out Disney last year with Spiderverse (not for a short, but still) So there’s a chance
The problem with most of the award shows like the Oscars is that they don't take animation very seriously. Thats why Pixar and Disney usually win, they're such a household name they're usually the ones parents will take their kids to see. Some voters don't even bother watching any other submissions outside of Disney and Pixar.
Very beautiful film about a father and his daughter! I especially love how the come greet the mother at the hospital and seeing her, giving her confidence that all will be ok. Very heartful film!
This reminds me of all the times my dad had to do my hair before school because my mom had to go to work early. Even though it looked a mess I would be so proud that my daddy did my hair.
This made me cry!!! So many times the world portrays black men in negative light! It just feel good to see another side that is rarely shown even if it is an animation👏👏👏💞
Black girls really go through a journey with their hair. It’s about growing and learning more about yourself and accepting and loving who you are. My hair journey has taught me so much and I can say today that I love my hair way more then I did ten years ago when I tried to straighten it all the time (:
@@Raisa-gb4fh everyone's hair is beautiful and u may not realize it now but u Will love yourself and your hair is apart of who u are so don't try and change that
JaydaChack Yeah because black men or mixed children don’t? Self love & hair care can be a struggle but don’t be like a feminist & pretend to be a victim given responsibility of hair so now it’s a struggle we should pity & only think black women struggle with hair.
@@SoPoTheVibe Who peed in your cheerios this morning?? Where did she say black women are the only people that struggle with loving their hair? I don't know if you just have a chip on your shoulder with black women or what but there was nothing negative OP said and there's no reason for you to be upset by a black woman simply saying she, as many others, have had a journey of learning to love their hair. She didn't blame anyone or is mad at anyone so there's no playing "victim". She's not biracial or a black man, so she can't speak for your experience. You have a youtube page, so you can go make a video or animation about hair struggles that black men or biracial people deal with WITHOUT belittling black women.
As a black girl that's a teenager with a lot of hair and not really knowing what to do with it, I am ALWAYS happy to see this. I was watching this while doing my hair and when I read the book when I was younger, I loved it but I really appreciate this story more now that I'm older
I was so tender headed as a child. Turns out that they should have never tried to comb my hair without moisture first, so it wasn't my fault that I was crying all of the time.
I was too. My mom would brush my hair and it would hurt and if I fussed about it, my mom would pop me in the back of the head with the brush. I learned real fast to brush my own hair.
Man saaaaame. My mom use to just comb it without any moister. She did start adding Pink but it just wasn’t the same. Black hair is tough, but my God is it BEAUTIFUL.👍🏽💕
It’s frustrating to see a parent “torture groom” a child. Rough, hair tearing combing or brushing. Clipping nails under the quick. Then getting angry or frustrated with the child for not wanting to be groomed or non cooperation. Any person of normal intelligence should understand that ripping someone’s hair out HURTS. It’s not rocket science to learn to properly manage another person’s hair. Grooming and self care is meant to be pleasurable and comforting.
Hello, Americans! Do you now how many children in the world have cancer because of your bombs? So sweet to make this pathetic movie! It's high time to stop with your double standards, yours government made so many disasters all around the world! You should think about that🤑🤑🤑
@@mazamamina7948 Sigh because obviously Americans are a monolith, and all of us are personally responsible for everything the government does. There are no Americans who disagree with the decisions of the government. There are no Black Americans that would like to see positive representation in media. It'd be just plain evil for any American of any race or ethnicity, regardless of their political views, to make or enjoy a heartwarming story about a family coping with a difficult time. We just need to hate ourselves all the time for things we have little to no control over.
A beautiful more sub-plot-ish part of the message in this short that I love, is the picture of her mom the little girl drew, with a crown on her bald head. Hair already means so much to a black woman’s experience, but it was a passion of this mother’s before cancer treatments made her lose her hair, maybe even a career for her through those tutorials. So for her daughter to tell her so definitively, you’re as beautiful now as you’ve ever been, even without hair, was probably so helpful to her healing, and repairing her self confidence. ❤ This short is so sweet.
I lost my mom a week ago, this video made me realize how still I am lucky to have my father and siblings with me. Mom, wherever you are, you always will be remembered. I love you.
This short encouraged me to wear my natural hair out again. I wore my afro to a zoom meeting for work and my coworkers thought it was amazing. It really does just take a little bit of work, and a whole lot of love 💜💜😊💜💜
Brave of you to wear your natural hair, I know sometimes it can be diffcult to wear it! It must have looked gorgeous at the Zoom meeting!! Rock the hair!!

I cried realising her mum had cancer bc in the start I thought she died and then when I saw her in the hospital, I thought her time was going to be over. In the credits she grew back her hair and that made me happy. 😌💕🦋

As a young black girl who hasn't loved her hair for years and only recently started gaining that love back.

totally didn't start sobbing.
I'd been avoiding this video for months in fear of being disappointed in myself, and while I'm still wiping tears, this video means so much more and I know it'll mean the world to so many others. This empowered me to give my hair as much love as I should to myself. Thank you.

HAHAHAHHAA
Everything about this touched my heart! Firstly the little girl looks sooo much like my own daughter, is around the same age too. We watched it together. The way the dad is struggling doing laundry and then has to tackle a hair routine he isn't used to, also relatable for me as I had to learn afro hair in order to do my daughter's and that's been an amazing thing for us both but I definitely felt like I was in that ring with her hair at times! Especially when I'm exhausted or in pain. I suffer from chronic illnesses and many health issues so even the mother and daughter part made me want to cry! Sometimes I am hospitalised and away from my family for tough periods of time or can't be what they need me to be. I just loved all of it. The representation of so many things into a small film made it highly emotional ❤
I love how when the mom took off her scarf the little girl looked happy. Imagine how much people would dislike this film if she looked at her mother with disgust?!?
Please go to the Dove Crown Act and sign the petition for prohibiting racial hair discrimation in the workforce for Black people, especially Black women and girls. We shall not be discriminated for wearing our natural hair. Thank you!!!
When dad grabbed that comb and nothing else, he was fighting a losing battle.
Exactly!!! I was literally screaming at him like, "nope, that's not gone work!"
Is this actually what black people hair is like? Whenever I see hair like that I instinctively wonder how the hell they brush their hair
Not sure about everybody else but this is how my hair is out of a tight pony tail
I KNOW I was crying lmao.
@@Bree8tiveBEing in the actual video, he used a brush. This short is based off a REAL story video uploaded by the father in the short, here it is: th-cam.com/video/B3Zh5JhDe7s/w-d-xo.html
I remember being in her shoes as a kid. Having thick, 4c hair wasn't something I loved about myself, but as I got older I learned to appreciate the beauty and thickness of my hair. This hits home.
You're actually lucky, you don't have to learn the hard way that scalp sunburn is a real thing.
Same!
How do you know what letter hair you have?
and i thought i had it bad being half block with 4C 😂
@@allanahkelly4583 Figuring out your hair type can be fustrating. There's the obvious categories like straight, wavy, curly, and coily, but there are also several other factors to consider in pinpointing your unique hair type, including your hair’s porosity and scalp moisture. I suggest watching a few TH-cam videos about finding your *curl type*
I just watched the end 3 years later and noticed her hair growing back!♥️ My mom lost her fight with colon cancer at age 54 in 2015.
Burst into tears when the daughter showed her mom the drawing: every queen shines in her own way!
Samee , I have been crying since her dad got her hair done
Oh my gosh I cried like a baby

In 2016, Mathew cherry tweeted that he has an Oscar worthy idea for a short film and today it won the Oscar. I wish I can show that kind of confidence in things I do.
That shit pissed me off. That makes this LITERAL Oscar bait, which was my thought when I first saw this. It's not a real heartfelt film, it just exists to get attention.
@@melissasmith6762 Yeah, how dare he labour on this for thirteen years just to produce an Oscar-worthy short animated film. Attention seeker.
@@melissasmith6762 Ironic
Very heartwarming film I loved it
*2016
This video means the most to me, my mother had a natural hair channel as well and her doing my hair was how we bonded, when I was thirteen she had cancer and sadly passed away. Learning how to do my hair was extremely hard. When she took care of it, it reached down to my behind. But after she passed I just got silk presses because I didn’t know how to take care of it. My hair then started falling out and I was completely lost. But my dad watched her videos and did what ever he could to help me style it even though he had no clue what he was doing
This is so cute that the daughter taught the mom with cancer to accept herself even without hair
Spoiler
@@lukemeyers6395 It's five minutes long lol always watch the video before delving into the comments
After the mother teaches her daughter to see her own beauty, love and accept herself, the daughter returns the favor. Love is the gift the keeps on giving; always comes full circle.
Yess
So the mom has cancer
As a 4c girl this is so relatable. The Oscar was well deserved.
Patricia A
Was her hair 4c though. My hair is 4c and so is my daughter’s and it’s not big. I keep thinking I’m missing something.
@@peridozq9390 then its not as long/full as hers. 4c hair actually tends to be the biggest type of hair cause of the tight curls. See how there's no real curl definition in her hair? That's 4c hair😂
@@peridozq9390 give it time, it'll grow. My niece is 4c, 8 years old and her hair is huge! Shes never had any chemicals in it or heat, just yet because of her age. Be patient, length comes with work and time.
@Evil Parakeets it's a hair type. Hair types range from 1-4, a-c (except 1 which is just straight hair). 2 is wavy, 3 is curly and 4 in coily/kinky/super duper curly. If you Google 'hair typing chart' , you'll see pictures
I believe that her hair is 4a or 4b
The “see now wasn’t that easy,” when it in fact wasn’t
Yeah, it's more like "See, you both survived!"
That’s the joke
agizzy23 It never is but it gives you the hope that it will eventually.
Drink Me I know. I’m just pointing it out because it’s very relatable.
I'm a white young woman with wavy/curly hair and I found myself crying. This is so beautiful, you can tell that he loves his little girl so much

If this isn’t at least nominated for Best Animated Short I’m gonna be pissed
if they lose out to Disney and Pixar I’m going to be so pissed.
But they beat out Disney last year with Spiderverse (not for a short, but still)
So there’s a chance
Kitbul was better
Agree
The problem with most of the award shows like the Oscars is that they don't take animation very seriously. Thats why Pixar and Disney usually win, they're such a household name they're usually the ones parents will take their kids to see. Some voters don't even bother watching any other submissions outside of Disney and Pixar.
same.

This reminds me of all the times my dad had to do my hair before school because my mom had to go to work early. Even though it looked a mess I would be so proud that my daddy did my hair.
That's adorable. My niece is the same way. The tells everyone it's her "daddy do" 🥰🥰
Same my dad was a real hero even if he was sick he never stop smiling,i love him
This made me cry!!! So many times the world portrays black men in negative light! It just feel good to see another side that is rarely shown even if it is an animation👏👏👏💞
That's very true
@Unapologetic White Male, Proud Colonizer 100% of what you say is bullshit!
Unapologetic White Male, Proud Colonizer are you serious right now
4:52 the cattttt 😭😂 the way it hugged the dad in his leg 😆😆
Black girls really go through a journey with their hair. It’s about growing and learning more about yourself and accepting and loving who you are. My hair journey has taught me so much and I can say today that I love my hair way more then I did ten years ago when I tried to straighten it all the time (:
Your hair is amazing! Wish I had hair as beautiful as yours tbh
@@Raisa-gb4fh everyone's hair is beautiful and u may not realize it now but u Will love yourself and your hair is apart of who u are so don't try and change that
JaydaChack Yeah because black men or mixed children don’t? Self love & hair care can be a struggle but don’t be like a feminist & pretend to be a victim given responsibility of hair so now it’s a struggle we should pity & only think black women struggle with hair.
@@SoPoTheVibe Who peed in your cheerios this morning??
Where did she say black women are the only people that struggle with loving their hair? I don't know if you just have a chip on your shoulder with black women or what but there was nothing negative OP said and there's no reason for you to be upset by a black woman simply saying she, as many others, have had a journey of learning to love their hair. She didn't blame anyone or is mad at anyone so there's no playing "victim". She's not biracial or a black man, so she can't speak for your experience. You have a youtube page, so you can go make a video or animation about hair struggles that black men or biracial people deal with WITHOUT belittling black women.
Dude, this animation was beautiful. 83

@@carelessdreamer I do! They still judge me!
As a black girl that's a teenager with a lot of hair and not really knowing what to do with it, I am ALWAYS happy to see this. I was watching this while doing my hair and when I read the book when I was younger, I loved it but I really appreciate this story more now that I'm older
No parents were harmed in the making of this movie...
Lol, omg that is hilarious 😂
…
I was so tender headed as a child. Turns out that they should have never tried to comb my hair without moisture first, so it wasn't my fault that I was crying all of the time.
Same I'm mixed so my Mexican grandmother had me crying all the time
I was too. My mom would brush my hair and it would hurt and if I fussed about it, my mom would pop me in the back of the head with the brush. I learned real fast to brush my own hair.
@@fubukifangirl My mom did the same thing everytime I cried. It hurt so much. Some mom she was...
Man saaaaame. My mom use to just comb it without any moister. She did start adding Pink but it just wasn’t the same. Black hair is tough, but my God is it BEAUTIFUL.👍🏽💕
It’s frustrating to see a parent “torture groom” a child. Rough, hair tearing combing or brushing. Clipping nails under the quick. Then getting angry or frustrated with the child for not wanting to be groomed or non cooperation.
Any person of normal intelligence should understand that ripping someone’s hair out HURTS. It’s not rocket science to learn to properly manage another person’s hair. Grooming and self care is meant to be pleasurable and comforting.
Me : Just 6 minutes, nothing will happen just see the film
Also me : Crying especially for the last part

Yeah, my eyes got sweaty at the end, too.
Hello, Americans! Do you now how many children in the world have cancer because of your bombs? So sweet to make this pathetic movie! It's high time to stop with your double standards, yours government made so many disasters all around the world! You should think about that🤑🤑🤑
@@mazamamina7948 Sigh because obviously Americans are a monolith, and all of us are personally responsible for everything the government does. There are no Americans who disagree with the decisions of the government. There are no Black Americans that would like to see positive representation in media. It'd be just plain evil for any American of any race or ethnicity, regardless of their political views, to make or enjoy a heartwarming story about a family coping with a difficult time. We just need to hate ourselves all the time for things we have little to no control over.
about short films with high impact, check out: "Un Conte", a animation by Gobelins. 2,5min long and oh god. beautiful.
Gosh I thought I was the only one who cried. Then I came to the comment section to find partners in crime
A beautiful more sub-plot-ish part of the message in this short that I love, is the picture of her mom the little girl drew, with a crown on her bald head. Hair already means so much to a black woman’s experience, but it was a passion of this mother’s before cancer treatments made her lose her hair, maybe even a career for her through those tutorials. So for her daughter to tell her so definitively, you’re as beautiful now as you’ve ever been, even without hair, was probably so helpful to her healing, and repairing her self confidence. ❤ This short is so sweet.
