In one paragraph
Dad Hair Hero is a free app that teaches dads to do their daughters' hair, one step at a time. Each step shows what your hands should be doing and how to tell it's right before you move on. It has twenty-two styles, from a two-minute brush to braids, written for straight, wavy, thick, curly and coily hair, and for babies to pre-teens. It was made by Martin, a dad in Dublin who couldn't do his daughter's hair.
