look at this
0:02
damn toothpick is inside of this boy’s
0:05
hair
0:06
that’s why man that’s why we had to cut
0:08
it off
0:27
we all can agree that family is the most
0:29
important unit on earth and the
0:31
disconnection of family leaves to
0:33
despair so we equip fathers to love and
0:35
lead their families into eternity by
0:38
telling true stories of fatherhood my
0:40
name is belief i’m the dad that
0:41
represents this channel on this channel
0:44
you know that hair is something that is
0:46
a huge part of our lives when i became a
0:48
stay-at-home dad after having our second
0:50
child my wife and i agreed that the
0:52
kid’s hair was my responsibility i was
0:54
cutting hair for a few years kind of on
0:56
the low and out of my trunk but when i
0:58
had boys i wanted to spend more time
1:01
with them so i started twisting their
1:03
hair they both had like this long like
1:06
kind of locked up journey
1:08
that was very sentimental to me a couple
1:11
years ago my oldest son theo decided
1:14
that he wanted to cut his hair so he can
1:15
look more like his uncle
1:17
and i was kind of discouraged by that
1:19
because it was our way to connect he’d
1:21
sit in my lap i twist his hair and he’d
1:24
fall asleep but i realized when he
1:26
started to express the fact that he
1:28
wanted to cut his hair i was the only
1:29
one that wanted his hair like that ever
1:31
since theo got his hair cut he’s become
1:33
a completely different person like he’s
1:36
more bright and
1:38
i don’t know it just feels like more
1:39
alive anaya also a few weeks ago got
1:43
extensions put in her hair like kinky
1:45
twists long and it was her first time
1:47
having long hair like that and i
1:49
literally watched her change right
1:50
before my eyes more confident she
1:52
started calling me by my first name it
1:54
was like all of a sudden she became the
1:57
beauty queen we already knew she was
2:01
[Music]
2:10
now comes uriah i didn’t know that today
2:13
was gonna be the day that i cut his hair
2:15
but i just couldn’t take it anymore uh
2:19
this is not about identity
2:21
or about blossoming
2:23
and growing this is literally selfish
2:26
i have to cut his hair because of how
2:29
difficult the process is to actually
2:32
give this man a haircut like a regular
2:34
shape up in the fade now
2:37
i try my best to cut his hair the best
2:40
way i can
2:41
and
2:43
at some point he just kind of quits and
2:44
says you know what i’m done he refuses
2:46
to comb his hair
2:48
it’s just all bad so though i didn’t
2:50
know i was gonna cut his hair
2:52
i knew that it was time for a change and
2:54
i’ve kind of been petitioning over and
2:56
over and over again you ready to get
2:57

what does it look great yeah it’s like
9:22
my hand
9:24
let me see please face this one
9:27
that’s right here
9:30
and
9:30
goodbye
9:42
okay so we’re dave’s removed from
9:44
cutting rice hair
9:46
now and uh
9:48
i am definitely feeling very confident
9:50
about the decision i made
9:52
um one thing i i felt was that i was a
9:56
little bit more secure about the
9:58
decision when he said
10:00
well if i don’t like it i can grow it
10:02
back it’s hair right like that’s just a
10:05
mature decision and a mature way to
10:07
think about something
10:09
and i wasn’t expecting that uh from
10:11
uriah
10:12
but one of the cool things that like
10:15
i got from this experience is that
10:19
sometimes
10:20
we are in
10:22
a situation
10:24
or a relationship
10:26
right
10:27
that is robbing us of joy
10:30
or in order to be in that relationship
10:34
it is pulling too much negative things
10:37
from us and acquiring requiring us to
10:40
con confront a part of us that we don’t
10:42
necessarily enjoy
10:43
and so
10:44
it’s okay to be without it for a season
10:48
it’s okay to be without them for a
10:49
season
10:52
now i’m not speaking to like
10:54
relationship with your child
10:56
or your husband or wife and sometimes
10:58
that’s warranted and called for
11:01
but i’m talking about
11:03
the relationships that aren’t
11:04
necessarily so essential
11:07
um
11:08
sometimes it’s okay to take a step back
11:11
and just
11:12
be like what is my life like without
11:14
this
11:16
now we already know that uriah wants to
11:18
grow his hair back he immediately was
11:20
like yeah yeah i mean it took like a
11:21
week he’s just like yeah i think i want
11:23
to grow it back you know
11:25
now i’m not gonna actually grow it back
11:28
and then me cut it i want him to
11:30
experience
11:32
what it’s supposed to look like so
11:35
i’m gonna take him to a barber
11:37
and
11:38
he’s gonna get a professional
11:40
you know i’m saying fade line up all
11:42
that get him greased up look clean you
11:45
know what i’m saying and so um i want
11:47
him to have that experience
11:49

11:51
you know faded up you know kind of
11:52
dipped on one side you know what i’m
11:54
saying and the dude be really feeling
11:56
himself and so i’m excited to get him
