Annis Waugh owns Braid Maidens in St. Albans, England, and as part of a fundraiser for a local school, she set up workshops for parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After realizing she never had a man enroll in any of her hair-braiding classes, she designed a course called \u201cBeers and Braids\u201d to appeal to dads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The class sold out, with dozens of fathers signing up for the waiting list. Waugh taught the dads about hair textures and types, and demonstrated brushing and braiding techniques. The men practiced on plastic heads, and \u201cwere super engaged and really enthusiastic learners,\u201d according to Waugh.

The more we do and share the load, the better it is for my daughters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And finally:\u00a0 Police in Indiana saved a woman and multiple kids from a house fire the other day.\u00a0 Their only way out was to jump from a second-story window, and the cops caught them.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today’s Good News ","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":29475,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3096],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-good-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-25 12:03:45","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/good-news\/2022\/08\/hair-braiding-classes-for-guys-and-police-save-a-family\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30954"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30955,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30954\/revisions\/30955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
