Yeah , well I certainly had no choice ( 2 daughters with fine Blonde hair ) arrrrgghh , it was not always easy , but we got better at it , well I did , right up until they were happy to take over , my 33 year old daughter still uses a hair straightener.

Looking back it was a challenging , difficult time , but we made it though and I now look back fondly on that time , I was a single father back then from ages 2 and 5 .

My sister used to have really long hair and my dad was a lot gentler brushing it in the morning. I remember one morning when my sister's hair was getting brushed by my mom and she asked my mom "can you do it like daddy does it".

Hell no, it's such a cute thing and the Job of a Parent!

LittleSally · Answer

I think it's beautiful! :)

burlen · Answer

Based on the traditional association of nurturing and caregiving with femininity, some people might consider a dad doing his daughter's hair to be a feminine activity.

However, note that gender roles and stereotypes are not fixed or universal, and there is no inherent reason why a father cannot be involved in grooming and caring for his children, regardless of their gender.

In fact, many fathers enjoy spending time with their daughters and taking an active role in their care, including styling their hair.

Note that not long ago driving wasn’t considered a feminine activity for women. Likewise, it wasn’t considered a feminine activity for women to vote in national elections in many western countries. I guest my point is gender roles and societal values do evolve.

goaded · Answer

When I did my daughter's hair just before a gymnastics competition, I looked up to see half a dozen women staring at me. They were very impressed. I don't think a single one thought it was feminine, but wished their partners could do the same instead.

humanearth · Answer

No, I don't see it feminine at all

I was part of raising my 6 girls (&3 boys)

I brush their hair braid their hair and all that.

I even let them paint my nails

It's called being a daddy

Anyone can be a father, but it takes a real special father to be a daddy

electromagnetic · Answer

If my partner doesn’t do our girls hair, I’d feel bad for our girl going to school looking like a lunatic.
our schedule just works out that he can do school drop offs and I do picks up meaning he’ll have to get her dressed and ready on the morning. Hair too. I don’t think it’s feminine at all.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

A father giving his child attention like that is totally masculine. That's the real alpha, not how many chicks someone can bang.

I hope that guy is smart enough to keep that video the rest of his life. He's gonna watch that many times throughout his life.

Pyrofox · Answer

I think its just trying to bond with their offspring. And thats it, as fathers its hard enough to find equal ground having a daughter. Its not like society rewards them for being an actual father. So to me its just a father taking steps to actually ya know just be able to meet half way. On a matter that is probably just as foreign as it is for the daughter to be learning themselves how to braid hair.

It would be now wrong and socially frowned upon to like force ones daughter to act in a way but trying to mutually learn with ones kid I see really no issue. Its just a dad trying to do what dads do and thats care for their girls.

As to those writing the rage comments they probably are just egotistical iditots who are jealous they don't have the same relationships. Its amazing how powerful family societal envy is.

TonyV · Answer

Yeah maybe it is but you've got to take care of your daughter if you're a dad. If you're a single dad to a girl you're gonna have to do a bunch of girly shit you've never done before. Gonna have to learn how to braid and take care of long hair, probably gonna have to accept your nails getting painted, sit through a tea party or too, watch the kind of cartoon you would have never watched before, and around puberty if you're the only parent or guardian you're learning about periods, tampons, and pads so you can teach her what's happening and how to take care of it.

ariadneR · Answer

Hell no. Its being a parent What's next? I can't change my son's diaper because he's a boy? 🙄🤣 People blow things way out of proportion

EmmaMary · Answer

Not in the slightest... And I shall look forward to seeing and watching my husband perhaps doing the same with our daughter's hair in a few years time.

21Cowboy21 · Answer

I think it shows he's a good father and cares about his daughters interests and spending time having fun with his daughter (s).

Now if you walk in and see your male husband braiding his own hair - he's probably gay to a certain extent.

Exception - if your jason mamoa - he could pull that off and still pull any gi at a bar he wants if he has a single braid done.

menina · Answer

I really hate this "feminine" and "masculine" BS! There are things that all human beings do regardless of their gender. This is just another nonsense that some people made up to separate us (humans) more.

No, seeing a man doing his daughter's hair is sweet and it shows that he cares about her. That's what a good parent should do.

His daughter is so cute! 💙💙

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

That's his daughter, what father wouldn't want to spend time with their daughter.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all. Plus, every time she sees or touches her hair, she'll think about how she has loving parents who think about her. Most men understand that when you create something, a little bit of yourself is put into it.

Lliam · Answer

Not at all. Jeeez. There is no male or female role for that. It's sweet to care for her and form a bond. I'm sure she loves him for it.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

The hate comments are always there no matter what! No one reads the rest after the (?) question mark. The internet people go bananas because there is no consequences online.

The video is very nice, warm feeling all over the place. Fatherhood is great, has nothing to do with being feminine in my opinion.

kellytheman · Answer

Nah its not it's feminine its being a good dad for his daughter when mom is not around. It great seeing a dad taking care of his girls from what ever from doing her hair or having a tea party with her. What ever he devotes his time to his daughter is not feminine at all its all about being the best dad he can be.

dragoblack · Answer

I think people should stop labeling everything as being feminine or masculine. Its just something you do, why should it need gender-labled insecurities attached to it? Bikers braid their hair and beards too aalot of people still think that's manly... seriously, pointlessly labling shite is stupid

computer_nerd · Answer

no not feminine at all he is more of a man for helping out his daughter real men help out their family its what is needed.

dads need to do stuff for their daughters i have met women who never had a dad in their life.

& some of the women i met were missed up in the head because of it.

i want to see more posts like this dizzy.

Poppymarie · Answer

I think it’s super sweet! Maybe it defies gender roles a little bit, but I would find it very attractive if my partner wanted to do our daughter’s hair. It’s a great way to bond with your child.

whirled_up_girl · Answer

I think that's cool for a Dad to do his daughter's hair. More and more dads that I know are equal caregivers to their kids, some are single dads or stay at home dad so this doesn't surprise me too much.

LickwidSkie · Answer

No, I don't think it's feminine. It's just a father giving love and attention to his daughter. I have to say though, if I tried to do a girl's hair she'd probably end up crying and never let me touch it again 🤣

AdithyaR · Answer

How is it feminine for a father to take care of his daughter? Absolutely not that's just part of being a parent. When it comes to parenting there's no masculine and feminine. Its just either you're a good parent or you're not.

Wraith_Cemetery · Answer

Nothing more masculine than being able to bond with your daughter. Tea parties, braiding hair, playing, et cetera are all great moments for bonding.

I braided my niece's hair and she was thrilled by it.

Guy13 · Answer

I think it’s seeet but shoukd be done in front of Mom for style points and training. Daughter will love him so much more for wanting to mske her “Perfect”. Moms are battle axes 🪓 with secondary diagnosis of OCD Terror 😎

Lycirian · Answer

I do my daughter's hair every morning making a ponytail. If someone thinks I'm not Men enough because of that, they can kiss my ass I don't care.

LovingLoverReturned · Answer

Naw. I've seen this a lot on social media these days and it's really admirable. When mom is sick he is helping her or for other reasons. That's his daughter and not his own hair lol.

msc545 · Answer

I did things like this and more for my daughter before her mother literally kidnapped her. I still miss her terribly.

iron_ninjs · Answer

People think it's feminine because braiding hair is something girls/women do. Just because something is associated with girls, doesn't mean a guy can't do it, and vice versa.
I think that guy is an excellent father.

AviatorTom · Answer

Parents (male and female) take care of their kids. I sometimes braided my daughter's hair when she was little, though I wasn't that good at it, and she usually preferred her mom do it.

Quackthulu2 · Answer

Is it feminine to be a decent person? Really, that’s your question?

NathanDavis · Answer

I've done it many times... I have nieces, cousins and girlfriends too, lol and I could not care less about what people could assume about it... lmao

coachTanthony · Answer

No god no. It's a parental thing not a feminine thing.

blueonblack22 · Answer

Hell no. There are some gross feminine behaviors “modern” men do nowadays. However being a loving father isn’t one of them. Far from it.

Faith18letsgo · Answer

Yes I think it makes them look kind, patient, and parental. I think that these traits are associated more with femininity then masculinity.

Anemone978 · Answer

How would anyone think it is feminine? That is just good parenting skills, I would of loved if my partner could do my kids hair lol

Ricky1966 · Answer

So? What's wrong with being feminine? Im 100% straight and there are lots and lots of feminine things I like and have incorporated into my life. In fact, given the option, I'd probably prefer to be a woman.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

So what if people think it is, I would still do it. I had to learn, being a single dad/parent for quite awhile.

Lyndsielee666 · Answer

My kids dad tried doing her hair one time and it was so god damn awful. Definitely nothing wrong with it though

NewsReader · Answer

I don't think that's feminine. My dad did that for my sister. Nothing wrong, gay, incestuous, or feminine about that.

Jeilasoyun · Answer

Why would it be feminine? It's just caring and sweet it means he's doing his part of being a father and it's the most manly thing ever ❤

DaisyM23 · Answer

they're literally looking after their kids, nothing wrong with that, especially if they're good at it haha

loveslongnails · Answer

Why would it be feminine to braid, comb or do a daughter's hair? He's the father - you take care of your daughter. What if he was a single dad? Absurd assumption that it would be "unmanly".

randyzuchows · Answer

I do not believe that at all I tried to do my daughter's hair. I can't help that their mom walked away when they were so young she wasn't around for at least a decade I tried to do
My best and what more could I hav3 done.

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

Not at all. I can only hope my future hubby would do the same for our kid, whether daughter or son.

ChillaxingLove · Answer

No I think it’s very fatherly. It’s very beautiful to see a father spending time their children

Vikkrram · Answer

For family there's nothing feminine or masculine for me

Juneberry91 · Answer

Actually I find it quite masculine in the man’s case to provide for the women his life. Grooming in the animal kingdom means I love you.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

No. People need to quit with this everything is feminine or masculine BS. How does fixing your daughter's hair feminine? Makes no damn sense.

worldscolide · Answer

Hell no.. If I have a daughter, I plan to do that and anything else I can to spend time with her.. The childhood is precious irreplaceable time thst goes way too fast.

Guardian45 · Answer

HK? He's her dad. Dad's are parents and do what their daughters what. Sometimes it imaginary tea, sometimes it's let her paint your nails, or put makeup up on you. The point is it's Dad -daughter time, precious and never to be forgotten.

Bethany22 · Answer

I like men that like to bread their daughters' and partners' hair. It's a real turn on.
