While a considerable percentage of young women complain about their kids' fathers being absent, those who are present are taking full responsibility for their own in every way possible.

One dad took his daughter to the hair salon for a new hairstyle and made her comfortable while doing her hair. A TikTok video of the moment was shared by @lesedi_motubane.

The dad bends over backwards for his toddler.

The salon video shows the father lying in a chair with his daughter on his chest while a woman works on her hair. Chilling comfortably on her dad's chest, the toddler plays a game on a phone.
