Daughter coaches dad through hair wrapping in sweetest video
This daddy-daughter moment will make you smile.
Daddy daughter duo Glen David Henry and Anaya are making many people smile during difficult times with one of their latest videos.
"Right now is a great time to sharpen the little skills, fine-tune the little habits, and find joy in the little things," Henry wrote in an Instagram post alongside a clip of him styling a headwrap on Anaya.
During the short but sweet clip the confident 3-year-old coaches her father by saying, "Dad, it's like a ball." She continued by describing how her mom always does it.
At the end of the video, Anaya takes a glance in the mirror and joyfully gives her dad a big nod and smile of approval.
"This was my first time styling a headwrap on her," Henry told "GMA." "My wife wears headwraps and Anaya is her mini-me."
He adds, "She's used to wearing them, but she clearly isn't used to me styling them," he says while laughing.
The video was created around Anaya's birthday, and the San Diego-based father mentions that his family tried to find ways to make her day special during this unusual time.
"Even though we're staying home due to what's happening, she got to wear her favorite outfit, got a relaxing pedicure from her brothers, and baked her favorite cake," said Henry.
While Henry says he was not surprised by her tips because she usually knows exactly what she wants, he found it so endearing that she was proud of his work. "It was the absolute best feeling to see her shining bright on her birthday," he said.
Since posting, Henry's Instagram video has been viewed more than 176,000 times and has been met with an outpouring of admirable comments.
"I had no idea millions of people would love this video," Henry said. "It's special to highlight little black girls in this way. I hope my daughter brought smiles to people, but also showed other little girls what it means to be beautiful and bold.
