WATCH: Single dad's hair-braiding skills strengthens his bond with daughter

"It's not about the quality of the braid. It's about spending time with your girl."

Being a single dad to his lovely daughter Emma, Phillip Morgese has become used to caring for her on his own and this includes styling her hair.

More than just a change in hairstyle, this dad believes taking the time to lovingly braid her hair each day will change the way she views herself and the world around her.

He knows that this simple act can have a lasting impact on her self-confidence, and it also teaches her how men should treat her in the future, with nothing but love and care.
