The struggle for folks with curly-kinky-coily hair is so real, and it’s one that starts early on. Having a full mane of textured tresses can be a pain to take care of sometimes, as one little girl found out while attempting to film a hair tutorial recently.

Tara Watkins posted a video to her Facebook page of her young daughter Ryleigh, who appears to be about 5, recording a hair tutorial. Unfortunately for her (and hilariously for the videos 392,000 viewers), things didn’t go as she anticipated.

“This is some oil mixed with water,” Ryleigh tells the camera, looking adorable with her ’fro fluffed out to full volume. Showing off her extensive selection of tools — hair clips, a brush, edge control, a comb, rubber bands, and a hair bow, the young girl attempts to show off her hairstyling chops. She starts by adding edge control to her hairline and brushing back her hair, but things get a little difficult as she tries to pull her tresses back into a puff.

“How do I get this all into the ponytail that Mommy does?” she says as she struggles to pull it into place. “I have way too much hair,” she laments.

She makes a second attempt, this time using her oil and water concoction, which ends up dripping down her face. She settles on putting a side part in her ’fro and once again attempts to lay down her edges.

The final result? Uhh … it looked a lot like the original. “Hair tutorial gone WRONG!!!” Watkins captioned the video. “My baby tried, though.”

We know the feeling! And so do many of the 1,800-plus commenters, whose comments included, “This is me in my younger days with natural hair,” “not gone wrong, she improvised,” and “LOL she tried, and she’ll be mastering it soon.”

Watch the adorable and hilarious tutorial above.
