Awesome Dad Styles Daughter’s Hair, Breaks Internet
Call it the “Daddy Wars.” One Los Angeles blogger sparked them when a photo he posted of himself and his two daughters on Twitter and Facebook quickly went viral. A father of two Doyin Richards (pronounced Doe-ween), 39, is currently taking a paternity leave of absence from his job in learning development to care for his daughters, ages 6 months and 2 years. He described the incident on his blog.
“One morning, [my wife] was running late for work and was worried that she wouldn’t be able to get [my daughter’s] hair done before I had to take her to school. I told her that she could leave and I’d handle it. She countered by saying that doing her hair requires attention and the baby would get upset if I left her alone while I played the role of stylist. Again, I told her that I’d handle it. On the way out she said, ‘I’ll believe it when I see it.’” Still determined, Richards placed his infant into her carrier and “worked my hair magic.” He also set up his camera, enabled its 10-second timer, and snapped a photo to prove to his wife that he could handle the job.
