In a video now gone viral on Twitter, Jamir is seen following his mother's meticulous directions as he brushes and braids Amirah's hair.

His advice to other girl dads is to learn how to do their own daughter's hair because it's a great time to bond and changes the narrative in society.

"It should be ok for dads to do their daughter's hair! We have creativity too," Jamir said.
