0:00toddler hair routine struggle
A medium close-up shot captures an indoor scene where a young adult Black woman is attempting to style the hair of a toddler. The woman, positioned on the right side of the frame, is wearing a dark grey acid-wash denim button-up shirt over a black tank top, with her dark hair styled in a high bun and neatly laid edges. She has a nose piercing on her left nostril. The toddler, dressed in a bright magenta long-sleeved top and a blue pacifier, is seated directly in front of her, mostly facing away from the camera. The background consists of a light-colored wall with two framed pictures on the left, and a white door with various items of clothing hanging on it on the right. A ceiling light fixture is visible at the top center of the frame. The lighting is bright and even, likely from a combination of natural light and an overhead fixture, casting minimal soft shadows. The woman meticulously parts the toddler's hair, applies hair oil from a small dark bottle, and uses a yellow comb. The toddler, initially somewhat compliant, grows increasingly restless, squirming, turning their head, and at one point crying and reaching for the hair products, displaying clear reluctance. The woman's facial expressions transition from focused and patient to sighs of exasperation, culminating in a broad, genuine smile and laughter as the toddler's resistance becomes more pronounced and playful. Text overlays read "POV: doing toddlers hair be like ..." at the top and "#day 5 using bask & lather oil" at the bottom. The overall mood is lighthearted and relatable, capturing the common challenges of parenting. The dominant colors are the magenta of the toddler's shirt, the grey of the woman's shirt, and the neutral light tones of the room.
