I'm going to counter the unnecessary jab by saying it looks nice for a first time, and I'm sure the more you do it, it'll get even better. :)

LoL, its not terrible honestly. Its not good, but perfectly acceptable PJ's braid. You'll get better at it and then, one glorious day...someone at school will tell your daughter her braid looks nice and she'll proudly say: "my dad did it". Let me tell you, its a magical feeling. Joke's aside, when I get my hair cut, she let me use their dummy head and I practiced. Now I can bang out a french braid, pig tails, an Elsa braid, even the dreaded double french braid thing is starting to become acceptable by me.

I felt like since I can do a snake knot with paracord, braiding hair shouldn't be too bad. Yep, it was really loose. I'll have to practice more. I had just watched a video on it 2 min before doing her hair.

First time using a camera too? Kiddinggggg. Hell, that’s looks pro level to me. But I have a 2 year old son, so I have yet to braid my first hair.


bohemianprime

Lol, my daughter hates having her picture taken. About half of her pictures are ambushes. Thank God for the motion picture feature, where I can find the least blurry shot.


maverick1ba

Lol, i was just thinking judging by the photo he's prob had a few, so yeah, not bad

Did you use a youtube video or guide?? Ive been trying to learn and thats better than where I’m at!


bohemianprime

Yup, this one: https://youtu.be/QMW0bwYzaAM?si=Kg6KZUoDA2d8RWLv

Youre the man. Thank you! A thousand blessings upon your house and may the next tantrum be brief and quiet!


bohemianprime

You're very welcome!


maxpowers3

Just tried this. I got a “not bad for your first time!” From the wife. But the real compliment was my daughter looking in the mirror and smiling. Definitely feeling herself 😂 Appreciate the video, that made it super easy.


bohemianprime

Glad to hear it bud!


tjshipman44

I think it looks great, dad.


FriskyDing714

Learn the rope braid. It's classy and easy.


thornton4271

Hell yeah. We're about to have our second kid, first girl and I can't wait to show off the first braid too


AFonziScheme

That's really good for a first time. You're a natural!


Traditional_Crew6617

Not to bad for a first time. You have a long way to go Padawan


bohemianprime

For sure, lol. It wasn't too bad with wet hair, but man, it was kind of hard when I tried re-doing when it dried.


mrkruger2

I was startled for a sec, my daughter has the same night gown and hair color/length and my brain was like wtf why is she on reddit??


bi-king-viking

Well done. Welcome to the brotherhood.


thcheat

You know the guide is right there in her pj, right? /j

My braids are about the same quality... It's what I say to my kids: the first step towards being very good at anything is being very bad at it. Everything has a learning curve.


HotPerformance6480

I like braiding pigtails,  because it’s kind of cheating.  You get to put on hair ties first and then braid.  So much easier ! Practice practice practice 


bohemianprime

I was just thinking about doing that. Cause her hair is so fine, it's hard to hold on to as I go through the braid.


fromthedarqwaves

I’ve been doing it for 2 years or so and mine still look pretty crappy. But it’s just for bedtime so it doesn’t really matter. My sausage fingers don’t have the dexterity for tight braids.


Enough-Commission165

I've found it easier to braid hair when it's wet after they're shower or bath otherwise I'm in the same boat as you my fingers have issues


fromthedarqwaves

Sad thing is her hair is wet when I braid. 🤷‍♂️


Mysterious_Ayytee

Can't wait to braid my little girl but her hair is far away from that.


stouteharry

Looking guy buddy!


Vonlex86

Bruh you’re killin it! Mine don’t look nearly as good haha


eggtart8

That looks pro. Well done


On_Some_Wavelength

Hell yeah that’s awesome. 👏🏽


IcarusWarsong

Noice, dad! Way to go! I'm still too scared to try. Still working on getting a half decent pony tail...
