Twitterverse, especially women exploded with excitement after Netflix released the trailer of 'Nappily Ever After'.

The film, starring 'The Best Man' actress Sanaa Lathan, is about a black woman who finds her identity after chopping her hair off. In the trailer, Violet Jones (Sanaa Lathan) shaved off her locks after his longtime boyfriend refuses to propose her for marriage.

Appreciating the plot of the flick, which will debut on Netflix in September, women took to Twitter to express how relatable the issue is.
