Dads Learn Hair Care Tips

posted 2/21/20 -- Head Start dads bonded with the daughters in a new way at LCCAA Head Start’s second annual Daddy Hair Care event.

More than 30 people attended two events held at Griswold Head Start and Hopkins-Locke Head Start.

Local stylists Tieya Riggins (Ms. Tee) from Natruelly Mee Studios and Kimyata Hawthrone provided tips on braiding, pony tails, buns and more.

At Hopkins-Locke, one daughter critiqued her dad sharply, according to Site Administrator Akeea Nelson: “The little girl says ‘get me a mirror so I can see’ after looking in the mirror and looks at her dad and says ‘oh no, this is not a good pony tail. I will do it myself.’”

“Head Start values fathers and this is just another way for them to feel close to their daughters,” said Griswold Site Administrator Diana Gifford. “We’re excited to see this event continue to grow.”
