A 13-year-old girl named A, who’s been dealing with health issues and the loss of her mother, finds herself in a hairy situation (literally). Her hair becomes so matted that she hides it under hats and hoods. A’s dad’s new girlfriend, C, is more focused on A’s appearance than her well-being. Luckily, A’s best friend’s mom steps in to help detangle her hair, saving her from a drastic haircut. ♀️ But when C finds out, she’s furious and demands the mom pay a salon cancellation fee, even threatening to sue! The story takes an emotional turn as A’s dad realizes the truth and starts putting A first. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
