Toddler hairstyles for dads
Short hair, fine hair, and a child who will give you about two minutes. These are written for her.
Every style here is in the free app, with the steps for her hair.
Each style in the app is tagged with the ages it was written for. These are the ones tagged for babies and toddlers: short and fine hair, nothing that needs length, and nothing that takes long. Keeping her still is its own technique, and it is linked below.

Set her age once, in the app
Tell Dad Hair Hero her age and hair type and it puts the styles written for her first. Free, no account, no tracking. In the app:
- Her hair, not hair in general. Choose Straight, Wavy, Thick, Curly or Coily under "her hair today" and the steps and pictures change to the method for her hair.
- A check before every step. Each step ends with what it should look and feel like, so you know it is right before you move on.
- Fix It, mid-style. When something is not right, "Something's not right" opens the fix for it without leaving the step.
- The diary. Add a photo and a note when you finish, and see what you have done and what to try next.
Free, with six everyday styles and all eight techniques. No account, no ads, no tracking.
