Sweetest thing we've seen all day? Probably!

 

French plaits aren’t easy – in fact we’re not ashamed to admit we’ve never quite mastered them ourselves. But one single dad has got the hang of it, and he wants everyone to know about it!

 

The dad shared a photo of his handiwork on Reddit, and while at first glance the post is about braiding his daughter’s hair, it’s really about much, much more.

 

“So my daughter has thin blonde hair that tangles like crazy,” he captioned the photo. “If she goes to bed with her hair down, it creates dreadlock like patches throughout. When she was 4 or so, I started braiding it for her before bed. She's 12 now and I still do it every night I can.

 

But after eight years of braiding, this dad wanted a new challenge.

 

“Tonight we decided to try something different… a French braid,” he wrote. “As you can see, I should have wet it first. That being said it still worked! As silly as it might seem to a lot of you, it was a huge deal for us. I'm too stoked not to share with you all.”

 

 

And the proud post moved Reddit commenters, with many saying what a great dad he was.

 

“My dad used to give me crazy high and tight pigtails. He never got the braid down, but to this day, I appreciate him trying!! Good on ya!!” wrote one.

 

While another added: “She's gonna remember the time you spent with her, not that you didn't get it quite right,” prompting the dad to reply, “That's the greatest honour a father can receive. Thanks, this comment made me smile”.

 

“My mom couldn't braid, neither could my dad,” said another commenter humorously. “I had to teach myself. Good parent. Make yourself some cookies.”

 

“Heh, replied the dad. “That will be a project to do with my son. He’s 6, and I’m slowly starting to teach him to cook. Gotta start ‘em young.”

 

Superdad or what?
