• A teacher from Durban got her students photo-ready by seeing to their hair for picture day
• The devoted educator got out her comb and styled her students' baby hair before they stood in front of the camera
• Social media users in the comment section were in awe of the teacher's kind-hearted actions

A teacher from Durban warmed hearts when she filmed herself seeing to her students' hair in preparation for picture day.

In the video shared on TikTok, the educator, who uses the handle @mchunu_wandorh on the popular app, sorts out her pupils' hairlines by combing their baby hairs. Presumably not older than eight, the little ones stood still, taking in what their teacher-turned-hairstylist was doing for them.

Viewers also see an intrigued little girl run up to a student while @mchunu_wandorh does her hair.
