In Vietnam, a growing number of fathers are dedicating their weekends to learning how to braid their daughters’ hair. Instead of traditional leisure activities, these fathers are attending classes focused on hairstyling techniques, utilizing mannequins and practicing with braiding tools. The initiative aims to strengthen the bond between fathers and daughters through a traditionally maternal activity. Organizers report increasing interest from fathers seeking to share a closer connection with their children. This trend reflects a shift in Vietnamese family dynamics, with fathers becoming more involved in daily childcare tasks. The classes provide a space for fathers to learn a new skill and demonstrate affection in a unique way, fostering a more intimate relationship with their daughters. The activity is gaining popularity as a meaningful way for fathers to show care and attention.
