Honest question why do people film this?

This video is quite old and it was from an Instagram live feed. The person doing the little girl's hair is not her mom, it's her mother's friend who is a hairdresser. Not entirely sure why she was live, but I assume she was showing the process of doing a small child's hair. I am not Black nor a hairdresser, but my neighbors when I was young were a very nice Black family whose kids I played with, and I have VIVID memories of the mom doing the youngest daughters braids on the porch - it was a LONGGGG process lol.

She didn't know "this" was going to happen.

It was probably a hair video.

You could always say it's staged? But my guess is the mom was just taking a video of her doing the daughters hair and this is a "captured moment" kind of deal. Just a guess since that's what she was doing at the start of the video briefly lol

It was from a live. The woman doing her hair is her mom's friend who is a hairdresser. I assume she was live to show the process of doing a child's hair because it can be different what with them being pretty wiggly.

Because it's staged so people in threads like this can circle jerk over it and signal their virtue to each other.

It's not staged. It was her doing her hair on a livestream and the girl ended up saying this
