The Duchess Hairdresser Scene That Will Absolutely Make You Cry

Katherine's a single mom juggling her career, her tween daughter, her relationship with her boyfriend — and pondering getting pregnant with her ex.

Ok, the line "Of course, it's not my hair" was surprisingly modern and I loved it!

Hats off to Katherine Ryan for this...while I’m not always a fan of her brand of comedy, this series was actually quite good and this scene in particular was very powerful.

People not getting it... its about the girl realising she isn't a child anymore, and the mother noticing her daughter is growing up.
She wanted the car, but the hairdresser was trying to imply she isn't a baby anymore. She says she wants her hair cut, and again the hairdresser implies that she is cutting off her baby hair, meaning she is growing up... She sits in the car, and notices the younger child playing with the car, and she realises she isn't enjoying the car as much as she thought, and sadly realises she is growing up. She looks at her hair (her new older self), and tries to steer the wheel of the car, as if to bring her back to her baby days... she is realising she is growing up, and can't control that... and Mum is watching, noticing her daughters revelation, and feeling sad for her daughter... she then goes outside because she then realises she is losing her baby... Anyone want to add, or change my perceptions? - I didn't cry, but my heart did get heavy.

I remember that day, when your childhood is over... Such a powerful scene so beautiful.

I had this moment with my daughter 2 years ago. She had grown her hair all her life. It was down past her bottom. Long, beautiful and thick. I loved brushing it for her. I noticed little changes in her and new she was no longer a little girl. When she said she wanted to cut it, I tried to talk her out of it but knew in my heart that it was her hair and she was growing up. The day I took her to the salon, I was so emotional but tried not to show it. As soon as the hair dresser cut her ponytail off, I burst into tears. I knew this was the beginning of her changing. Now she has short hair, multicolored and loves it.

This scene was so raw, it took me by surprise. This show was a bit crude and only sorta funny sometimes but it had such profoundly meaningful scenes like this one and the wedding one and the hospital at the end where I was like 'Wow'. But because it wasn't just bedroom humour, I liked this show way more. I'll definitely watch it again.

It feels like she is saying good bye to her childhood....such a beautiful scene.

Katherine Ryan showed a lot of depth in her acting

[iellaterreur]

I'm not even a mom and I cried at that scene it's just so real

I remember when it happened to me I was around 14yo in a birthday party and there had a trampoline and I wanted to jump on it and then the person responsible for the trampoline told me: it’s not allowed for grownups. I had a feeling that I will Never forget I felt a “fresh fear”, excitement, happiness and sadness all that mixed up. I was happy for being an adult, and sad because I knew that my childhood had done.

This was so emotional. They have a strong bond

The soundtrack to this series is so good.

Wiping at my eyes as I remember taking my blonde 12-year-old daughter to have all 28 inches/71 cm of her lustrous locks cut off to her shoulders. Big decision & a huge adjustment for both of us. She donated her hair to make wigs & hairpieces for cancer patients & those suffering from hair loss. I still miss it 14 years later. Sometimes, she does too so, this clip bought it all back &how we have to accept that our kids grow up & we need to respect their decisions & that they know their own minds even though they are still so young.

[midoriioyama]

Omg. This is gooood. Like unreal good. Its so good, it brings back unvanted memories, and now I finally understand why they were so sad. .... I've been crying for the past 10 minutes...

[Indieviduall]

THIS MADE ME I remember so vividly doing this with my Mum. If you can't relate don't hate hahaha

Tertia May's "Where We Belong" was the perfect choice of song.

[sydmaker]

I'm 32 and I tried to sit in the toy car and it broke ... I cried when I started to realize I was fat.

This reminds me of my Mom and I when we both finally agreed that I should cut my hair short– previously either her or I would get freaked out about cutting off 12+ inches of hair off. I’ll never forget the weird look she gave me before saying I looked so grown up. It’s grown out and been cut off multiple times by now, but none of them feel as hard as that first major hair cut with my Mom when I was 10.

[magpiesneedle]

I’m 53 and I still have a long braid of my hair from ‘the big cut’. My mom was sad but never held me back.

Am I the only one who thinks that the girl lowkey looks like Greta Thunberg?
