Hey friends!

It’s been a wild week. With so many new faces joining after the Scrunchie System blew up, I’ve been thinking a lot about why this all started.

Because it’s easy to get caught up in the tutorials, the gear, the next braid to learn.

But at the heart of Dad Braids, it’s never just been about hair.

It’s about slowing down long enough to connect.

It’s about the conversation that happens while you part the hair.

It’s about presence.

Every braid, every tangle, every laugh - it’s a tiny thread weaving you closer together.

So whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been here from the beginning:

remember, braiding = bonding.

The tags and messages this week have been incredible.

Seeing dads everywhere practicing, posting, and sharing their moments - it means the world to me.

Keep tagging @dad.braids so I can feature more of your work next week!

Basic Pigtails - with a Twist.

Tried this little detail on each side: one slim braid woven in like a secret message.

Simple, clean, and makes her feel ✨fancy✨ even on a school morning.

Halloween’s around the corner… so tell me:

Last week I asked: When you finally sit down after bedtime, what’s your go-to move? Overwhelming answer was “clean up… again!” Haha I feel you 😅

Thanks for being here - whether you joined yesterday or years ago.

This community keeps proving that small moments can build something big.

Here’s to more braids, more bonding, and more joy in the everyday.
