Daxton McKnight

Daxton's presence on YouTube is primarily through his family's channel, "Cute Girls Hairstyles," where he has appeared in various family vlogs and routine videos. Despite being the shy one in the family, Daxton has been featured in several videos, including "Daxton’s Epic Playground Adventure" and "Daxton and Paisley Escape a Shark Attack".

The channel, started by Mindy McKnight in 2008, initially focused on hair care tutorials but has since evolved to include family vlogs and lifestyle content. Daxton's life and experiences are shared with the channel's millions of subscribers even without having personal social media accounts.

Despite the channel's focus on hairstyles, the McKnights have managed to incorporate their family dynamic into the content, making it more personal and relatable for their viewers. The channel launched a toy line in partnership with Jakks Pacific Inc., which includes mannequin heads for children to learn how to style hair. The toys are sold on Amazon and in stores and online at Walmart, Target, and Sam's Club.

Mindy McKnight has also launched a hair care line, Hairitage by Mindy McKnight, which is sold exclusively at Walmart. This approach has contributed to the channel's success, amassing millions of subscribers and becoming the #1 hair channel on YouTube.

As of October 2023, the net worth of the McKnight family is estimated to be around $30 million according to multiple sources. Daxton is still too young to have a net worth of his own but it is known that the family’s primary source of income is their YouTube channel, which features hair tutorials, family vlogs, and lifestyle content.

In addition to their YouTube earnings, the McKnights have diversified their income streams. They have collaborated with brands, sold merchandise, and launched a toy line in partnership with Jakks Pacific Inc. Mindy has also launched her hair care line, Hairitage by Mindy McKnight, which is sold exclusively at Walmart, which would contribute to the family’s net worth as well.

Daxton McKnight was born on July 23, 2008, in Park City, Utah. After struggling with fertility issues, Mindy and Shaun McKnight decided to adopt a son following the birth of their four daughters. They selected a birth mother from Utah and opted to adopt a boy, aiming to support African-American children and further connect with their community.

The adoption process was swift, and the name "Daxton" was chosen for the child before his birth. Daxton's adoption into the McKnight family was celebrated, and it was legally finalised six months later. As an infant, Daxton did not exhibit expected responses to sensory stimuli, and at the age of five, he was diagnosed as hyposensitive autistic.

His parents pursued various medical therapies, including the introduction of a multi-sensory environment, which gradually led to noticeable progress, although Daxton's condition was not completely remedied. Unfortunately, Daxton was expelled from kindergarten shortly after enrolling due to being an autistic child. Additionally, he also copes with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Daxton enjoys playing with remote-controlled toys and is a fan of the character 'Krypto the Superdog' as well as watching 'Pokémon' movies. He participates in soccer and gymnastics and is particularly fond of the colour dark green, which he associates with Christmas. Daxton has a keen interest in space science and aspires to attend either Brigham Young University or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The family has a growing presence on other social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter. Although Daxton does not have his own social media accounts yet, he frequently appears on the channel’s Instagram account, which is run by his mother.

The account has over 1.4 million followers and uploads a variety of channel related content as well as giving personal life updates. The family also has a presence on Twitter, with over 165.2 k followers. The family interacts and engages with their audience, using their presence on this platform.
