They started the workshop after realising many fathers wanted to help with their daughters' hair but simply didn't know how.

During each session, fathers learn beginner-friendly hairstyles including ponytails and twin braids using mannequin heads, brushes, ribbons and hair ties.

The founders hope to challenge the stereotype that caregiving is mainly for mothers, showing dads can also help children feel cared for.
