    My dad would do my hair all the time and he would always hype himself up while doing it he would be saying “ooooo I did that!” And all kinds of stuff and made it really fun to get my hair done. I miss him and him doing my hair. It’s a important thing to do with a kid

    The time black men spend with their daughter's, whether it's doing hair, taking your little girl out to eat, to the movies just father and daughter time. Will build a bond that can't be broken. A little girl needs to learn from her father an outline of what a man should be. Both of my daughters on two separate occasions told me this. "Daddy you're the first man I fell in love with". They are grown women now. Doing their own things. It always bring a happy tear to my eyes, when I repeat those words. Black father's you don't have to be perfect. You just have be present in your little girls life's. It's the biggest investment you can make for her future..

      My dad sometimes would dry my hair while my mum was busy with my siblings, and decades later I really cherish that one on one time. I think maybe it's difficult for men to think of activities to do with their little girls, the guy in the video is so right that something simple like doing their hair can be so bonding and you can end up having some really good chats while you're focused on a task. I love this is getting more popular with dads 😍

    Yes I'm grown now, and I still think about the times my father spent with me. My father read all of the time. Whenever I needed to talk, my father would put his book down just for me to discuss whatever was bothering me -- I could talk about anything.
    Some of my fondest memories of him is when he would sit on the side of his bed, book in his left hand, while sipping bourdon and smoking Kent cigarettes with his right hand. He would read from dusk to dawn. Yes, he would read ALL night long but always stopped to talk with me if I came into the room. Or if I went out, he would make sure I had money of my own to call him in case something happened. He would sit at the dining room table, reading of course, waiting for me to come home and would not go to bed until I arrived home safely. When I did arrive, he would put his book down and ask me if I had a nice time. We would talk about what I did, if any of my friends where there, etc. He always did this! I realize as an adult just how fortunate I am to have had my father. I still love and think of him often.
    My father was a real man and a gentleman.

    I have a first grader been doing her hair since pre-k and he’s spot on at the end of the video, being a dad is more than being present it’s definitely about being their protector letting them know their genuinely loved and they’re able to physically identify genuine love from a man... 🤴🏾👧🏽

    The caucasian dad's need to share their secret style with the other dad's. Just stick a bow in it and it's good😂.

    I feel gender uncertainty comes from society's tendency to say "Boys do this, Girls do that". I've seen boys play with dolls as children and grow up to be strong, capable individuals who are sensitive to the needs and feelings of those around them. I live in a hunting community where girls where cammo and hunt just as often - and sometimes with greater accuracy - than the boys around them. People should be allowed to BE regardless of their genetics.
