  • - I'll have a cocktail, please.

  • - What kind?

  • - The really strong one.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Hi, I'm Hannah, I'm The World's OK-est Mom,

  • and my husband needs a haircut.

  • He won't let me touch it,

  • he wears a hat every day, but I have an idea.

  • Because we're all home, the kids are bored,

  • they need stuff to do,

  • I think it'll be really funny

  • to let the kids choose Matt's new haircut and color.

  • I let them do it to me under Matt's supervision,

  • I ended up with Magenta hair,

  • which is my least favorite color.

  • So I think it's time for a little bit of payback,

  • let the kids pick Matt's hair color,

  • and see what happens.

  • Okay, I have a question for you guys.

  • - What?

  • - If daddy would let you,

  • would you wanna pick his haircut and hair color?

  • - Yeah.

  • - I wanted a blue mohawk.

  • - You want a blue mohawk?

  • Well we're talking about daddy's right now.

  • Should we go look at some hairstyles and some colors?

  • Let's do it, ready, all hands in.

  • One, two, three, go team.

  • - Go team. - Go team!

  • - I think Matt's a little bored himself to be honest,

  • and Matt needs something fun in his life,

  • so that's why he agreed to do this.

  • And I will take full advantage of it.

  • Matt is vulnerable right now,

  • he's home with all of us, it's three against one.

  • He doesn't have a leg to stand on right now.

  • So, it's the perfect opportunity to do this.

  • Okay, we're looking up men's haircuts.

  • What do you think for your dad?

  • - Hmm, this one.

  • - What do you think, Wyatt?

  • - Ooh, yeah.

  • - Perfect, let's do it.

  • How about color?

  • - Color? - Don't say it out loud.

  • - Blue.

  • (laughs)

  • - So since Matt couldn't leave the house to go to a salon

  • we brought the salon to our house.

  • (calm music)

  • - What is this? - Oh

  • - Hi sir, welcome to Salon and Spa DeGraber.

  • (laughs)

  • do you have an appointment?

  • - We all chose alter egos for this experience

  • because we really needed to get into character.

  • None of us are actual hair experts

  • and so we needed to fake it a little bit.

  • Oh, looks here you have a 3:30 p.m

  • with Jackson and Wyatt.

  • For cut and color.

  • Matt goes along with all of our weird stuff, bless him.

  • I am just an office assistant

  • but I'm going to be doing the haircuts

  • cause' they said it's good for my training.

  • Kids plus scissors plus eyes, plus ears, plus face

  • is just not a good combo.

  • I trust them with scissors now,

  • but I don't trust them that much.

  • I have experience cutting the kids hair.

  • I've done it several times

  • and I feel like I've gotten okay at it.

  • The first time I tried Jackson,

  • I actually turned him into like a 70's Donny Osmond.

  • That being said, that's kids hair.

  • I've never cut an adult male's hair.

  • Is this comfortable?

  • - Not really.

  • (laughs)

  • - Matt, I know what I'm doing for sure, okay?

  • (laughs)

  • This is the thing you need to know.

  • We all know what we're doing.

  • I realized as we were about to go into the haircut,

  • that I hadn't ordered the correct tools

  • I needed to actually cut his hair

  • and I did not have time to get them in the mail.

  • So, I was working with some fresh, brand new,

  • unused, kitchen scissors.

  • How does this look so far?

  • - Good, but you need to cut the sides more.

  • - I do, okay.

  • I would not say kitchen scissors are precise at all.

  • And they're probably damaging to the hair itself.

  • I don't think they are in anyway meant to touch

  • anything on anybody's body.

  • Did she leave your hair lady leave curls?

  • On the sides?

  • - Not really.

  • She has the straight razors so they're..

  • - Well I have kitchen scissors.

  • - a lot more sharper than...

  • - My strategy cutting Matt's hair is

  • you can always go shorter.

  • We can't undo a mistake that's been made very short.

  • So I tried to ease into the cut and keep it longer.

  • And see how I did and then if I needed to,

  • I could always fix it a little bit shorter.

  • What, too short?

  • (laughs)

  • - No?

  • - I don't know.

  • - Was that bad?

  • - I don't know what razors you've got.

  • - I'm just trying to texturize, okay?

  • It's called texturizing.

  • I didn't really know what I was doing.

  • What do you think so far, sir?

  • - It's looking great.

  • - Matt has a lot of hair, and he has curly hair.

  • And the kitchen scissors just weren't cutting it.

  • So, we found an ancient pair of clippers

  • in the back of some cupboard in the bathroom.

  • Do you trust me?

  • - Yeah, I'm paying a lot of money for it.

  • - I whipped those puppies out

  • and I decided to do like a gradual

  • fade into the longer part on the top.

  • I don't know what its called.

  • - This is what happens..

  • when you can't leave your house.

  • (laughs)

  • It actually worked okay.

  • I was proud of myself.

  • Matt said that I was too timid with him

  • because I was so afraid of like, cutting his ear off.

  • Now how's this length, guys?

  • - That's good.

  • - This is good?

  • - Mmm hm.

  • - I would never charge anybody for my hair cutting services

  • but I will say that in a pinch, I think I could do it again.

  • And I think it would be okay.

  • I'm still not sure if Matt hated it or liked it

  • or was okay with it.

  • Because I thought it looked good.

  • He seemed a little lukewarm on it.

  • But honestly, what was he expecting?

  • What time is it?

  • - Awesome time!

  • - Awesome time?

  • Okay guys, you know what to do?

  • - Yes.

  • - Okay, go ahead.

  • - Okay.

  • (mumbles)

  • - This is how you're gonna show me how mature you can be.

  • Okay Wyatt, that's already a little too much.

  • The boys didn't quite understand the idea

  • of less is more when you're coloring.

  • You really don't need like a whole glob on each section.

  • Cause' it does get on your scalp

  • and it does get on your skin.

  • Oh no no no no no.

  • (gasps)

  • - What?

  • - Just put it down for a second.

  • (laughs)

  • Jackson.

  • I was trying to remind them to go a little easy on it,

  • and I really didn't want it to be dripping

  • all over the bathroom.

  • He has a technique, don't question his technique, okay?

  • Yes, it's called the smear all over.

  • Yes, oh Jackson.

  • I admire your work.

  • The boys technique that they used was

  • kind of like a plop and smear.

  • The colors that they chose were green and blue.

  • And they wanted to do kind of a combo.

  • So they just did little patches wherever they could reach.

  • It was kind of a tricky situation for Wyatt

  • because he was having a hard time

  • reaching the top of Matt's head.

  • So I don't really know if he could see what was going on.

  • I think at this point Matt had given up

  • on hoping for something good.

  • And he was just ready to settle on something.

  • Yes, you definitely don't look like the joker at all.

  • So good, coffee, water, tea?

  • - I'll have a cocktail please.

  • - What kind?

  • - The really strong one.

  • - Boys, it's time.

  • - Oh my gosh!

  • (drum rolls)

  • (fiesta music)

  • - Gorgeous!

  • Wow!

  • I liked the way Matt's hair looked.

  • It was really settle.

  • Because I don't understand the chemistry of hair color,

  • I wasn't sure how it was going to take to his hair.

  • Or how it would show up.

  • It actually really pleasantly surprised me.

  • - It's amazing!

  • - Are you proud of yourself?

  • - I am.

  • - The boys were thrilled with their work.

  • They had so much fun doing it.

  • I think no matter how it looked, they would've loved it.

  • And been proud of themselves.

  • - I'm so proud of you guys for making my hair blue.

  • I feel great.

  • (mumbles)

  • I don't have to go anywhere,

  • I don't have to go out in public.

  • - After we colored Matt's hair, I knew what was coming.

  • I knew the boys would beg to have theirs done too.

  • This is something they've asked for,

  • for a very long time.

  • Pretty much ever since I did my own hair.

  • Did you say you wanted blue hair?

  • - Yeah, just blue hair.

  • - What do you want?

  • - Blue hair.

  • - What are you gonna do for it?

  • - Blue hair.

  • (laughs)

  • - What are you gonna do?

  • - Blue hair.

  • - You're gonna clean my room?

  • - Blue hair.

  • - So we'll be a blue hair family.

  • - Okay, so we have to decide whether or not,

  • we'll let the boys color their hair.

  • Jackson has a dress code at school

  • so he hasn't been able to do it.

  • But now they're not in school for quite a while.

  • - And now it's kind of crazy times

  • and you know, we're all kind of looking for

  • some way to like have fun,

  • and you know we're just cooped up.

  • - Wyatt's just kind of young for it.

  • - Yeah, he's got such nice long curls.

  • - I know I'm not doing a blue mohawk.

  • Are we gonna do it?

  • - Sure, why not.

  • - All right.

  • - We're gonna do it.

  • - What else are we gonna do, right?

  • Let's do it.

  • Are you sitting on the toilet eating?

  • - Yes.

  • - Oh my God.

  • Well your dad and I discussed the hair.

  • (squeals)

  • We decided...

  • you absolutely can get blue hair.

  • - Yes!

  • - And the toilet runs.

  • (laughs)

  • Should we get started?

  • - Mmm hm.

  • - Ultimately, the deciding factor was, it's rinse out.

  • Basically a glorified conditioner.

  • Its non toxic, it's very gentle.

  • It's not touching their scalp,

  • and it's not something with fumes

  • that could impact them in a negative way.

  • Does that make me a cool mom?

  • I like to think so.

  • If you ask my kids, what would they say?

  • Probably not.

  • You don't have any hair.

  • You're fine with it.

  • Your fine with it.

  • When I did blue hair, I felt like that was the color my hair

  • was always supposed to be.

  • And the same kind of happened for Jackson.

  • It just suited him so well.

  • He looked really good.

  • I surprised myself with how good it looked.

  • What do you think?

  • - I loved it.

  • I was like oh my gosh, I look amazing!

  • - Wyatt, I went a little light with the color.

  • I didn't want it to be too saturated all over.

  • So, it was pretty settle.

  • I was really happy with it, I thought he looked so cute.

  • And I thought It was just a touch,

  • that was you know, not over doing it.

  • But enough so that he could feel like he had colored hair.

  • Who'd you say you looked like?

  • - I don't know.

  • - You said something to me, you walked up to me,

  • what did you say?

  • - I don't know.

  • - You said I look like Billie Eilish.

  • I'm open to letting them have colored hair,

  • I just think it depends on the life stage

  • we're at in the situation we're in.

  • I obviously wanna be respectful, of dress codes and school

  • and whatever it may be.

  • But, I'm definitely open to letting them try it again.

  • Colored hair has always been my thing,

  • and now it's a family thing.

  • And I couldn't be happier.

  • It was a confidence boost for me that I really needed.

  • And I think it definitely worked

  • in the same way for my kids.

  • Maybe not for Matt.

  • I don't think he'll do it again.

  • He earns major cool dad points

  • for being a really good sport.

  • So that's all I got for today,

  • I'm Hannah and if you try this with anyone in your family

  • or your kids, please tag me on Instagram, I wanna see.

  • Or if you have any ideas for a future episode

  • or fun activities that we could try here.

  • Please message me on Instagram too.

  • - You did a great job.

  • - Me? - Considering.

  • - Considering what?

  • I'm really good.

  • - Considering you didn't have the tools.

  • - Matt, I had exactly what I needed.

  • (casual music)

- I'll have a cocktail, please.
