WATCH: Hairdresser Comforts 4-Year-Old Ariyonna After Calling Herself Ugly

Y’all, this was one difficult video to watch. A four-year-old girl, Ariyonna calls herself ugly when seeing her reflection on the phone while getting her hair done. The hairdresser who was doing her hair is shocked and immediately tells the young girl that she is beautiful; Ariyonna cries and proceeds to go in for a hug. 

Her hairdresser proceeds to say, “Don’t say that! You are so pretty! When you look at yourself you suppose to say, ‘I am so pretty’— you got the prettiest little dimples, you are so cute.”

It goes without saying that women are faced with countless images of what we’re “supposed” to look like, especially young black girls. This is proof that the internalization of these ideas can reach children as young as toddlers. 

I am so grateful to see her hairdresser comfort the sweet, visibly pained little girl and leaving her with a smile, hopefully loving her self a bit more.
