Just for Me® Hair Care Launches #5FingerChallenge Instagram Campaign
Leading Hair Care Brand for Children Partners with Christina Milian
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Oct. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Just for Me® is excited to announce the launch of its #5FingerChallenge Campaign, a program that promotes a less stressful 'wash day' for parents and children alike. To kick off the #5FingerChallenge, Just for Me has partnered with singer, songwriter and actress Christina Milian and her daughter Violet.
Parents grapple with a regular struggle of trying to detangle their children's textured hair. This process can be painful not only for the child, but for the parents as well. Just for Me products help to alleviate the struggle of detangling so parents and children can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the hair care process: encouraging a Happy Hair Day.
"Our research shows that wash time for children with textured hair and their parents can often be unpleasant and stressful. Just for Me hopes to untangle the fear and anxiety that is associated with 'wash day' by offering moisturizing and detangling products, reducing tangles and breakage, and also encouraging the process to be fun and enjoyable." – Robert Candelino, VP, Haircare for Unilever, US
Milian and her daughter will post an inaugural campaign video on Milian's Instagram handle on Friday, October 2nd, highlighting their own Happy Hair Day while demonstrating the efficacy and detangling benefits of the Just for Me Hair Milk Collection by running "5 fingers" through Violet's detangled strands. Milian will close the Instagram video by challenging other moms to take the #5FingerChallenge, and encouraging them to tag their fellow moms on Instagram as a way to nominate peers to join the movement.
Just for Me has also tapped into a number of online influencers, including Instagram sensation London Scout, to help spread the word and raise awareness for the struggles faced by moms with kids with textured hair. These mommy-daughter duos will demonstrate how to avoid these struggles while using the Just for Me Hair Milk Collection via long-form videos and blog posts.
To further celebrate this campaign, Just for Me and Walmart will be co-hosting 100 in-store 'Happy Hour' events throughout the country, including cities such as Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans and Washington DC. On Saturday, October 3rd, shoppers will enjoy complimentary milk & cookies, product coupons, an interactive hand print mural, as well as a brief video demonstration of the Just for Me #5FingerChallenge.
