After a long day of work, Rainbow returns home to find out her daughter, Diane, has put glue on her hair. The sticky substance renders her hair rigid and immovable, much to her chagrin. Rainbow quickly enlists the help of her husband, Andre, to help solve the dilemma.

With Andre's help, Rainbow tries everything to get the glue out of her hair, including aggressively scrubbing it with soap and water. After all of their efforts, Rainbow's hair remains glued in place, forcing her to cancel all of her plans for the day.

As Rainbow sulks in disappointment, her youngest son, Jack, comes up with the idea of using a baseball cap to hide her hair. This seems like a great solution until Rainbow has to go to an important meeting, where a hat would be inappropriate.

As a man in his 40s, he feels he's ready for a change and wants to let go of one of his most identifiable features. The decision is a difficult one, with Andre having to grapple with letting go of his youthful image and the affirmations he gets from his hair.

Despite the initial reluctance, Andre sticks to his plan and ultimately decides to chop off his dreadlocks. As he shows off his new, shorter haircut, Rainbow can't help but feel envious of his ability to shake off his identity and start anew.

As the day progresses, Rainbow's family continues to try to figure out a solution for her hair problem. After attempts with various concoctions and tools, Rainbow tries to cut her hair off in a fit of frustration. Dre stops her in time and teaches her the importance of accepting life’s challenges and facing them head-on.

As rainbows accepts her situation and starts to rock her new hairdo, Andre also starts to embrace his new haircut, and the two end up bonding over the changes in their lives. They both learn that sometimes, change can be for the better and that accepting life's curveballs can ultimately lead to personal growth.
