Evolution of the Irish Dad: ‘My father had no long hair to brush, he brushed mine with his hand’
'I think about how my father had no long hair to brush but then I remember how he brushed my hair with his hand.'
That’s ok Daddy. You can just do a low pony-tail.” The youngest says understandingly. The ‘low pony tail’ is considered the entry level Daughters’ Hairstyle. It’s one level above Just Put a Hat On Instead.
I do the low pony-tail. The hair bobbin is wrapped expertly around my wrist. I transfer it less expertly to her hair. I do what I consider to be enough loops of to make it a tight pony-tail. The little hand comes back to check her hair. It pauses.
