The Sunday Morning Haircut You Were Never Supposed To See

I’ll admit, initially I was like “Oh No”, but after you said “she cut it pretty” it made me realize that we really project standards of beauty on children at such an early age. When my daughter cut her hair at 4, I was devastated. Why? She was just as beautiful with short hair as she was with hair down her back. I love the way you handled this. And in the end, this baby is beautiful.

I love love love the way you handled the self haircut! The whole family made Baby feel BEAUTIFUL! She did look like a doll!

I love how she hugs and sing to all the children down to the oldest it's very important love it 🙂

I love the attention she gives each child. I adore the patience and good energy she gives each child. Just beautiful to watch this family.

Baby is incredibly intelligent and absolutely knows what she wants or doesn’t want. She absolutely have no problems communicating how she feels. I love how the family supports her decisions at such a young age. Bravo!,👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This proves that representation matters especially from a daughter looking up to her mother. Thank you for showing the world how to be a nurturing and open minded parents.

All of the Mazelee children are GORGEOUS! Miss Amayah in that yellow is such a glowing, radiant Beauty, serving all the Melanated gorgeousness and her natural hair, high cheek bones and eyes are everything! Miss Ajaiu’s haircut was definitely a surprise…but she knows what she wants! Self confidence on 100%
Great parenting Alena and Joe❤️

Joe just goes with the flow in the midst of, laughter, song in praise, challenges, and lots of family time. What a Papa. 🙏🏽🫂❤️🎉👏🏼

I love how you didn’t yell at her for cutting her hair but embraced it. Such a good mother!

ALENA !!! You don’t know how much you grounded me with how calm and supportive you were with baby when she cut her hair. As a young mom that did something to my childhood trauma but in a good way. I really appreciate that.

We need more mothers like this in the world. You are the definition of a super woman. Beautiful, very smart, great mother, good wife to name a few. The love you give to your kids is going to be felt by generations to come. Thank you for sharing this precious moments with us.

You guys were my 1st KRplus family and channel that I subscribed to. I had heard of KRplus but never watched it until I was diagnosed with stage 4 Cancer and Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. I continued working for 1.5 more years until my Federal employer refused to let me continue teleworking. Watching your videos helped me to focus on something other than my health. I love how you and Joe just go with the flow, can be both serious and fun at the right time. I was a little sad when your videos decreased but understand why. You guys are living your dream family life. Keep finding joy and growing in God. I just noticed you are doing more videos and I am trying to catch up. So much joy, beauty, growth, and milestones you have had. On 8/10/22, I reached 5 years of remission under maintenance by God's healing grace. God has been so amazing to me. Thanks you and your amazing and beautiful family for helping me get through Cancer. I hope one day to meet you guys. Congratulations on expecting a new little one, you are a uniquely special and God fearing mother. Keep being authentically you. I will be praying for you guys.

Ajaiu always knows what she wants. I love how feisty and aware she is.

Joe is so into everything I think he is so cool and down to earth,they both deserve each other with their beautiful kids

Alena's fun personality really shapes the great personality of her kids. Joe's humble demeanor is also reflected in the kids in how they know when to step back and let each other shine.

Baby is IDENTICAL to you mommy, confident, and knows who she is!! That young lady is going places!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

The girls using the car as a mirror and Alena asking "What are you guys doing?" was too funny! Brings back memories of my teenage years and wanting to make sure I look good before going anywhere 💖💖

Such an amazing family. The children are so well-mannered. I love how baby knows exactly what she wants and always make it known. Excellent job mom and dad. Your videos are so refreshing. May God continue to bless you all..;-)

Ajoui was loving that cuddle and song combo. Such a loving mother and father, so blessed 🤍

These children are so darn adorable, smart, charismatic and pleasant to watch. Anyone making inadvertent diss videos about them, God continues to bless this family and they are covered by the blood so NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEM SHALL PROSPER. They literally mind their own business and live each day with love and confidence.

Your oldest daughter has grown up to be a beautiful young lady wowwwwww!! she's gorgeous! 😍 ❤️ 💖

This literally made me tear up. I love how you immediately supported her decision and celebrated her beauty even though her abrupt self cutting session probably wasn’t ideal. The whole family celebrated her. Thank you for sharing!

It touched my heart as you were singing a special song for each of your daughters. Nothing can compare to a mother's love.

5:43 she passes the food to her sibling before eating herself with such beautiful manners!

Amyah's winged liner is so so pretty! it reminds me of Cleopatra!

I've been watching this family before Alena had her 4 child, when the were living on the East side. I truly enjoy this family. Their personalities have always been the same never pretending all these years. Much Love and Blessing to you family!!!!

At first when baby got her hair cut I didn’t think Alana was actually going to cut it “like hers” and when she did my reaction was kinda like Akylie HOWEVER seeing baby come out of her shell and just live life! Dance, jump around and be totally fulfilled with her new hair cut was simply beautiful to watch!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I don’t have children and I’m 28 but if God bless me with any one day I pray I’m half the parent and mother you are to those beautiful beings!

She makes being pregnant so effortless and amazing. ❤

I absolutely LOVE your parenting styles, Alana and Joe. Your family is beautiful and getting more beautiful by the day. You are raising such fine human beings. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us.
Blessings,

Self acceptance.. validation.. love,love,love.. good job family 😊👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I absolutely love how you praised her instead of yelling at her, and dad was so sweet and funny at the same time. She looks adorable just like mommy. 🥰 Continued blessings for your entire household 🙌🏾

Alena gets best response ever from a Mom after daughter cuts her hair off - 'It's so cute!' I love that response. How can you be upset with that baby wanting to look like her Mommy.❤

I love how well Alena knows her kids. So beautiful this and baby, and walking her through the while process, and showing her autonomy. I love that she wanted her hair like mommy 🥰

Such a sweet and heartwarming vlog🥰Can’t wait to see the new baby, happy 39 weeks Alena❤️

I love that you didn't automatically freak out when Ajaiu cut her hair..that could have been a very dramatic and shaming experience, but you and Joe and the entire family embraced her and made her feel even more loved and special. I loved the name song ...so sweet !

I'm not sure if I want to be a mother, but I would hope to be like Alena. So heartwarming how all of the kids feel loved and you take the time to know and support all of them.

Omg I cried at the end when you hugged every baby and sang their name I love your parenting🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗 I’m a first time mommy and I do the same thing with my baby boy🧡🔐

Little girls always always wanna look like their mothers bc that’s they’re reference of beauty ❤️Feels like yesterday when Akyli decided to cut her hair

Baby got her own thing goins on and I just love it. Her personality is so genuine.

I think you're an awesome mom, you put many of us to shame. God bless you and your beautiful family. Joe is such an supportive husband. Love you guys, watching from Trinidad and Tobago.

Great vlog! The couple watching 👀 must've enjoyed it too! I love baby's identity. She named herself, decides what she likes, knows who her family is and how she wants to look. Baby's my new hero! 🥰

Your Children are a reflection of your Home and all i see is Love and Happiness! Kudos to the Parents

Their reaction to her haircut tho 😭😭😭 lol ! So cute. I’m always so shocked on how advanced the little ones are in comprehension and expression of emotions. I def get her tho, it’s sum about having your hair cut off (😂voluntarily)that makes you feel so empowered and beautiful after years of battling with my real hair I finally just accepted it, started to play with it. And I absolutely feel at my best when my Afro is out, or when I cut it off. Love this for her 🫶🏾.

I love the equal affection and attention you both give all your children.❤️

I love how you guide your children but also allow them to be who they are. Many blessings 💕💕💕

Baby is the feistiest one in the family! Love her strong will!!

One thing I noticed about baby is that she is very determined and head-strong I love this for her! She woke up one day and said I had a dream, my name is Ajaiu and told everyone to refer to her as such. She wanted to have hair like you and when you were movin she decided to get things done. I pray she is always as determined and doesn't ever let anyone tell her she can't do something

Awwweee precious Momma singing to her babies big and small just too sweet.

That bike ride was epic. Especially Joe with the side cart with the girls in it. I Love It💜

all of your babies are so special they know exactly what they want and how they want it....y'all are great parents!!!!

Living for Baby’s hair moment specifically “it’s like mommy’s don’t touch “lol and Alena’s hysterical singing moments of each child cut to Amaya saying “ok!” To let me sing u a song 🤣sooo delightful into full monotone regret at the song choice. 💜💜love y’all 👩🏾‍🦱

This was so emotional for me. I don't know if it was the fact she wanted to look like mom, if it was the kindness and love the mom received the cutting (we would've been punished), the mom's cutting of the hair with tenderness and love, the children's individual reactions with love in very word. This was amazing.

She's such a warm and loving mother❤

The ONE family I will sit and watch your entire video and not get bored! Love your family. Beautiful, beautiful! Not me smiling at my screen whilst you were singing for Amayah 😅
God Bless and keep you all❤️

Alena always has the best attitude I would love to be her kid lol and Joe's calm demeanor is the perfect balance like yin and yang ☯

I love their wholesome little family and how they interact with each child. 💘 😻 💜 😻 💜 💛 🥰 💘 😻 💜 💛

Can’t wait for the birth and gender reveal video!!! Alana is 39 weeks pregnant!!!

I love everyones reaction to her haircut. its amazing. Also the fact that she keeps saying she wants to look like mommy is so adorable and proves that representation MATTERS and is important.

The hair, the outfits, they all look so beautiful. Baby is Alena's mini me, she is so adorable.

I love the way you handled when she cut her hair and the way they all made her feel beautiful ❤️❤️❤️. I love the love this family shows each other.

Precious moments with each child…super important. Blessings to you guys!

I just love how much you prioritize you kids and their feelings. GOD bless you and your family, love all the way from South Africa

I love how Connected your family is. I Love how you future them & allow them to be individuals & you Love on them. Especially, when baby said she wanted her hair & snuck & cut it. You just finished her for it & didn't punish her I thought was totally a different way of parenting!

I wasn’t sure how someone could have so many and successfully parent them all, you have and it was quite beautiful to watch. I am still learning not to project my own internal fears and assume their others. Congratulations on baby 8

Baby looks like mommy, even without her hair cut 😊♥️🙏🏾

Amaya is growing into a beautiful young girl. All the kids are so beautiful. I think you and your husband Joe does such a great job raising them. God Bless.

Beautiful family and your baby girl is still adorable without her hair, that will grow back.

I just don't know but they motivate me sooo much.... I really look up to you all..

7:33 I love the freedom you give you children. Yet you set reasonable boundaries at the same time

Baby has so much personality 🥰

You have the most beautiful well rounded children. The whole family radiates joy. I think it was sweet that Baby wanted to look like her Mom & took matters into her own hands to get it done. I loved the support she received from her family. Enjoyed the video; God Bless.

You're so good with your children. If every child was loved and cared for like you and your husband care for your beautiful family, this would be a better world!

I was feeling depress , but just watch at your video , with all this happiness, love sharing in your family bring me joy again . God bless you with a wonderful family , you’re amazing.

I love how you handled her cutting her hair. When I was 6 my brother and I were playing barbershop. I shaved my brother with a butter knife and soap. He gave me a hair cut. He cut my top braid of about 7 inches off. I didn't know he was really going to cut my hair. Mom was livid. We both got a spanking. When I was 9 I cut my bangs really, really short. I did this because I didn't like the hair in my eyes (or at least that's what I told mom). Needless to say I got another spanking. I guess I never cared for long hair because I just shaved all my hair off two nights ago. Wish I could share a picture. ☺

Girl, you and Joe are the best. I need you to be my momma. I just love your free spirit. You're raising some fabulous kids. Rock on, you guys are the bomb. Love love you all. 😊😍

Awe I love that you embraced her decision to cut her hair like yours. That’s was so sweet

She looks so pretty with her new hair style.
May God bless you to have a safe delivery

I loved you reaction to her cutting her hair. Her imagination will go so far from that one moment. Typically you get disciplined for cutting your hair. I love this. Thank you

I admire you and the parents you are to your children. Watching you and your family are truly a blessing!

I really admire you Alena and your husband. Your family is wonderful, may your baby come with good health. A hug from Brazil 🌹🌹🌹🇧🇷

Ajaiu’s hair is awesome. I remember when I did that to my hair too. Go Baby Gooooooooooooo!

I remember when Amyah and Akyli used to rock with the short hair. Especially Akyli.

Seeing the way the family embraced Baby’s decision brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful and supportive family God is truly with them.🙌🏾

If more parents were like you guys, the world would be a much better place. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Such a loving and wonderful Christian family. I always get the feels from your videos thank you for sharing your lives with us!

I love that baby Ajaiu did this, reminds me of when Akyli went through a similar phase!

Motherhood looks good you Alena. Thanks for being authentically you!!!!!

The two oldest are hilarious! So much personality and funny reactions have me cracking up!

Alena is beautiful! She looked gorgeous in her Easter fit!

You cut her hair and now she looks JUST LIKE YOU!! I never noticed that before but wow lol so so cute

Her cousins and Auntie's reactions were awesome

This was lovely to see! My family would spank us when we cut our hair, espesially my grandma. When I saw the scissors, I got scared for her instictually. So it was really nice seeing you celebrate her decision and embrace her with warmth. It's really nice to see an healthy example of how to handle kids cutting their hair.

Its literally just hair and she wanted it cut. People pierce their babies ears and watch them cry but no one outrage, yet her cutting her daughters hair with her consent is bad/mean? Make it make sense. Love you Mazelee, keep walking with God ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I love Ajaiu’s new hairdo! Girls keep being so healthy, 우리YoungWon too ! Respect for Alena who’s doing jumping jacks and push-ups while pregnant, incredible 🤩 💪

Every single one of y’alls kids are gorgeous! Amayah is absolutely stunning in that yellow. She’s beautiful in any color, but yellow is definitely her color. My oldest daughter has a gorgeous dark complexion like hers and she also looks amazing in yellow. 💕

This Lady..Just wow! Awesome Mom! What a wonderful family 🥰🥰🥰

All these kids are so blessed

Mazelee, your family is beautiful. 💜 I love the love and happiness you all share. It just warms my heart 🥰 Thanks for sharing 💜💜💜

I remember I didn’t want to get colored braids when I was younger and my dad made me cut my hair it was past my shoulder it made me feel so sad and I started to not like my hair after that because he wanted me to get while colored braids and I did not want to, it made think that white hair was better so I grew an unhealthy relationship with my hair I always wanted to hide it. I’m happy to see that you support your children and let them feel free to express themselves with their hair through beads, braids, wearing it out and even cutting it off.☺️ touched my heart ! So precious.

Why Am I teary-eyed!😭 Thank you Alana & Joe!! I love your reaction to Baby's haircut. She's an adorable personality she has. Reminds me of my 19 year old at her age. Its refreshing to see, more parents choose gentle (councious) parenting vs the old ways. Good for her self esteem! She looks absolutely beautiful. Happy Easter to you all. Blessings in abundance. ❤❤❤
