World-leaders in quality hair mannequins Pivot Point are collaborating with the live events Pints and Ponytails, teaching Dad’s how to do their daughter’s hair, all whilst enjoying a drink and chatting about their fatherhood issues.
Dad’s Mathew Carter and Lawrence Price have a successful podcast The Secret Life of Dads and noticed a need for live events to bring other dads together in a safe space to talk openly about parenthood — all with the ultimate goal to support dads to spend more quality time with their daughters.
Their Pints & Ponytail events were a huge hit, resonating with fellow fathers across the country and world with viral reels, press coverage and even trips to 10 Dowing Street to get their message out there.
Reaching out to Pivot Point back in March, the duo needed to scale up their events and needed more mannequins that they could re-use at their events.
Jan Laan, Vice President International Business Development for Pivot Point, said, “The project is so inspiring, and we could see the guys needed mannequins that would be as realistic as possible for the dad’s to practice on. Suppling different hair types and ethnicities on real human hair also gives the guests the best practical experience to take home and create ponytails and plaits on their daughters.”
“We want the dad’s to have the most realistic experience during our events, so that they go home with more confidence. Pivot Point have been instrumental in enabling us to deliver this,” added Mathew and Lawrence.
