A Nigerian mother was filled with overwhelming joy after seeing her son return home with a clean low-cut hairstyle, ditching his dreadlocks. She couldn't hide her excitement, expressing that he now looked like her actual son, unlike before when he wore dreadlocks and appeared like a stranger in their house.
The heartwarming and hilarious moment was captured on video and shared by her daughter, @kallmechioma, on TikTok. In the video, the mother danced joyfully, raised her hands in thanksgiving, and praised God for what she considered a transformation in her son's appearance.
She went as far as making a cross sign in the air to bless the change and strongly advised her son never to go back to the dreadlocks style, encouraging him to maintain the low-cut, which she found more respectable and appealing.
Her comments were lighthearted yet firm. She said, “Now you look like my son, but before, you looked like a stranger living in our house.” Her son laughed along at her dramatic response, while their father also joined the moment, speaking humorously in their native dialect.
The video quickly gained traction on social media, with many viewers, especially Nigerian netizens, siding with the mother. They expressed support for her sentiments, echoing a common belief among older generations that dreadlocks can sometimes give off an unkempt or rebellious impression.
