Description
Every morning Papa combs through his daughter's waves just like he does his own—parting it down the middle and using coconut oil to get all the tangles out.
Some days he braids her hair in two twists down the side of her face. Other days he weaves it into one long braid hanging down her back, just like a unicorn tail.
But her favourite style is when he combs her hair into a tight bun on the top of her head, just like the joora he wears every day under his turban. They call this their hair twin look!
Hair Twins by Raakhee Mirchandani celebrates the special bond between a father and daughter through their shared hair care routine.
