Watch: 'Pints and Ponytails' gives dads hair tips

Dads across the country have been getting to grips with one of the essential skills of modern-day fatherhood - how to do their little girls' hair?

So-called 'pints and ponytails' events have been popping up in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and elsewhere.

Men get some hands-on tips from a hair professional, as well as the chance to have a chat - and a pint, if they wish - with other fathers.

While classes like this aren't new, they have recently gained in popularity after the hosts of The Secret Life of Dads podcast, Lawrence Price and Mathew Lewis-Carter, started running their own events in the UK.

Videos from their events have gone viral, including a post on Instagram with more than 26 million views.
