Enter the African Pride Back to School Giveaway

As millions of children head back to school, millions of moms are figuring out what to do with their children’s hair. Usually, I slick Caitlynn’s hair back into an Afro puff and drop her off at my parents’ house, When she goes to her toddler program, I put a bit more effort into styling. She’s at an age where she’s starting to fight me when I do her hair. So it’s important that I learn quick and easy hairstyles, which minimize the hair battles erupting in our living room each morning. At times, I wash and part her hair into four sections while she takes a bath and pays more attention to her squirt toys than she does my tugging and twisting.

So, I’m always on the look out for products to help make my job a bit easier. Although I relax my hair with chemicals, I want my daughter to embrace her natural curls. I’m even contemplating going natural to reinforce this idea. That’s why I agreed to participate in the African Pride Back to School Twitter Party. As a mom blogger, I receive a lot of requests to host giveaways. I turn most of them down. I won’t push a product that I won’t buy. I thought about turning this opportunity down, just because I’m been super swamped at work. I offered to donate the products to a homeless shelter, and the company loved my idea so much, they decided to ship me another box! They had me at hello! They hold the same core values as I hold in my heart as a mom.  Therefore, I wanted to learn more about their line of African Pride and Dream Kids product lines. And the products moisturized and detangled at the same time.

Here are the lessons I learned from the parents partying online:
