Memorable Shampoo or Hair Commercials

[DollyDagger]

What the title said..describe a memorable hair commercial that stuck in your minds eye :) or influenced you in some way..

Timotei- featured an extremely long-haired, probably classic length, silky straigt blonde haired lady with a white horse..? Maybe it was lady Godiva?
But this commercial made me run out and buy hair bleach and bleach my hair that night like a total crazy person..lol:crazyq::justy:

Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific- I cant remember the commercial other than people commenting and saying repeatedly "Gee your hair smells terrific" tag line which is also product name...genious! Super-fragranced that lingered...it did make your hair smell terrific!

Pantene- they have all the unreal mega super-shiny lit by a million flood lights hair

okay now your turn to describe.............

TIA:blossom:

I am old enough to remember Breck Girls. Oh, my envy was great - that lovely soft smooth hair with gentle waves. So unlike my stick straight stringy hair. Sigh.

Great compilation here! thanx for posting! .. I remember'm all now!
Lmao @ PERT with the lady on the trampoline!

At least some alternate textures were showcased. It seems all you ever see on commercials these days is poker straight.

[Nuala]

The Timotei commercial in which a lady with very long hair washes her hair with looooots of shampoo and then rinses it in a barrel and we were like "yeah, this is never going to get rid of all this shampoo!" (this was back in the eighties, I believe).

[renia22]

Wash that gray right out of your hair. Whatever happened to this stuff?

I was not alive (my mother neither I think LOL) when this aired. But when I was a little kid in the early 90's, mom used to put big curlers to get that big volume wave hair instead of her beautiful ringlets (she wanted Cindy Crawford hair) a friend of hers used sing this song to her. I dont know why, but everytime I get to see someone in curlers I sing this as well. :p or say SHAME ON YOU!!

[butter52]

Did you have those herbal essence commercials where ladies had orgasms from shampoing their hair?

[DollyDagger]

Did you have those herbal essence commercials where ladies had orgasms from shampoing their hair?

yes yes yessssssssssssssss...<---thats how they sounded..
and yes we did here in Canada...lol

[Echileruwen]

There was one for Prell shampoo where they'd drop a "pearl" into the bottle of green shampoo and you could watch it sink slowly to the bottom. I think this was to show how thick their shampoo was? I'm probably dating myself here. I think they even put plastic pearls in the bottles for a while.

[DollyDagger]

^Echileruwen

We're all dating ourselves..lol but its fun reminiscing. I do remember that pearl too.

No wonder we all remember commercials so well. We didnt have Fast forward options or commercial free HBO or you tube.. we were inundated with the same commercials a million times a day..lol Those jingles were burnt into our memory!

Yes, the pearls, lol. And the teen magazines always had a Breck girl ad on the back. (Of course, I remember Ipana toothpaste and Bucky Beaver, too.) I think there was Halo shampoo, also.

That's a great commercial, I remember when hair rollers were very popular. Regretfully I missed the 60s too, but I remember watching some of the 1960s tv shows on reruns when I was a kid in the 70s/ 80s, and those stiff hairstyles. I think everyone used Dippity Do back then, my mother used it in her hair in the 70s with those pink rollers, it had a very distinct smell:


http://youtu.be/CxTunPvi5pY

[mz_butterfly]

I remember the Finesse commercials. "Sometimes you need a little Finesse, sometimes you need a lot"


And the White Rain commercials. There were several of them too.

[sarahthegemini]

All the Herbal Essences ads where a woman is practically having an orgasm. Seriously, who has that much fun washing their hair.

[Seventy7]

Something like 20 years ago, they had a commercial here for Andrelon with the line 'Pam, je haart danst' which translates to 'Pam, your hair dances'. Link here. (https://youtu.be/C1_5mXiz5o8)

This one is pretty memorable, as we had a male friend with quite coarse and curly hair which looked around SL. I'm sure it came down to at least mid back when stretched. He mostly wore it in a low ponytail, but at one point he had it down and it pretty much behaved like a helmet, so stiff.
One yelled: 'B, your hair dances!'
In response he grabbed most of his hair in two hands and moved it around, like dancing a puppet. We had some good giggles. :D


I do remember those Herbal Essences commercials, it was a good lesson not to trust commercials and take them literal. :o

[DollyDagger]

Seventy7

lol..thats cute about your friend .it was a scene that left an impression in your mind :)

mz_butterfly I remember that jingle! :)
I used finesse for a long while when I was around 16 ..It worked great with my highlighted hair I had back then!

[MINAKO]

I love asian shampoo commercials. Most of them basically say that no man will ever fall in love with you if your hair isn't 10/10, lol. I never even used rejoice but it's kind of nice in comparison to these glamorous and self obsessed Loreal ads.


http://youtu.be/mB8pPLFk8Ug

[meteor]

^ Ha-ha, MINAKO! That's awesome! :D It did make me chuckle and think of cheese (in a good way!), but don't all hair commercials? ;)

I remembered another one that I liked: :hmm: hmm, I seem to like commercials that involve hair breaking stuff! :lol:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHYvMQ1Oa1E

[DollyDagger]

LOL..^ those were great
Nice to see some international ones!

[MINAKO]

Did we have this one yet? I mean its nice to see but what the hell are they trying to sell? The house would be roughly 10million and each one of these dresses like 15K probably. The hair looks like expensive wigs. Just too much...


http://youtu.be/RGo7WvqKQ-0

[DollyDagger]

Wow.... that was ....something...not quite sure what.. but something..lol


I mean its nice to see but what the hell are they trying to sell?

the unattainable perhaps

[meteor]

^ Ha-ha, true!
Coco Rocha's raspberry red is pretty incredible in that video! :crush:

Though that panther's hair was still the best! :bowtome:

[parkmikii]

Lots of bouncy hair here :bounce:

parkmikii love when she unfurls that heart updo :)


What percentage of these commercials actually have real hair being shown though... same with mascara commercials..:P

[MsPharaohMoan]

I have nothing to say except snarky things ;P

"The freedom to color... The freedom to tie..." The freedom to spend...

Gotta love when really expensive looking things are introduced and then destroyed in a commercial.

[Nadine <3]

I think the only one I remember is the Garnier one. I dunno, I NEVER paid any attention to the ads on tv when I was really young. By the time I was old enough to have shows I cared about and wanted to watch, we had a DVR lol They're all really unrealistic though.

[endlessly]

The newest Herbal Essence - can't remember exactly which one it's for - but it takes place in the rainforest. The extended cut is hilarious, basically like they're trying to play on the whole "shampoo commercials are silly" idea and they definitely have fun with it.

[Echileruwen]

I think everyone used Dippity Do back then, my mother used it in her hair in the 70s with those pink rollers, it had a very distinct smell:

Oh yes, I remember Dippity Do! I used to use it trying to get my hair to look like Ginger Grant's on Gilligan's Island. I envied her hair. :rolleyes: Didn't the people who made that product ever consider that customers might think twice about using green stuff on their hair? I think it came in yellow too, didn't it? We always had at least one jar of green Dippity Do in the house.

[yahirwaO.o]

The hair looks like expensive wigs. Just too much...


I find it really weird and semi creppy as a whole thing. But yeah, those are really pretty luxurious wigs-weaves!!!! LOL :p

......oh yeah the panther is natural and shiny, he stoles this freak show!!!!

[MINAKO]

what about this? Another one that makes me want to cut bangs and then jump off a cliff, cause the rest of the scenario isnt included in the price of the shampoo. at least Shiseido keeps the hair in advertisements mostly real.

She had great hair!

I think my mother had the green one too? I'm not sure about yellow because when I tried to find a photo, a picture of Dep hair gel came up. But here's a photo of the pink & green Dippity Dos:

[tigress86]

I like L'oreal Casting Creme Gloss Chocolate Factory commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8jgLv0nHuY
Probably because I'm a chocolate addict and I like the idea of the shades in a chocolate box.

[Beatrixity]

One of my all time favorites!

^ hehe..:) least its got a sense of humour. Mens hair shampoo selection has increased dramatically over these past few years! Great marketting..!

Maybe it was pink. It's been a long time. There was always plenty of the green in our house. :)

[meteor]

:lol: Beatrixity, that's absolutely hilarious! :lol: Loved it! What a great find! :thumbsup:

[yahirwaO.o]

....... And then we have the weirdest shampoo ad which you never really see hair going on! LOL :p



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=excxIZ4wUvg

... I know things about Hiyab and muslim girls, but a shampoo commercial is supoose to show hair, right??? Or Do I have a very western view???
Have I seen to many wigs in ads??? :confused:

[DollyDagger]

Yes..too many panthers and fire engine red wigs got your viewpoint scrambled up ..;)
Wow isn't that something though. I guess we re just supposed to imagine it.

[MINAKO]

Need this , lol. There's indeed shampoos that are supposed to make hair blacker AND straighter. Or i'm like a decade late for that trend.

*I* used to use that to set my hair on sponge rollers back in the 60's :eyebrows:

I wanted my hair to look like theirs so bad in the 60's lol

It left your hair SQUEAKY CLEAN...and we didn't use conditioners back then.
I don''t know how my hair survived!
I had to tame the poof with a ponytail on top of my head and set my hair with 3 soup cans :laugh:

[MINAKO]

Totally irrelevantad but it was in my suggestion upon the ones i watched before. Omg how gorgeous is Fan Bingbing.
I don't even envy her hair that much, but her presence is just spot on every single time shes on camera.
I'm usually not into the sexy type for idolisation, but looking at her i ask myself why she isn't more
famous in western countries.

[turtlelover]

A Vidal Sassoon commercial once convinced me that a bob would be a good idea. It WASN'T!!!! Unruly, wavy hair and very precise, geometric cuts at chin length do NOT mix! LOL
:rolleyes:

[KellieKay]

Does anyone else remember Short and Sassy? Dorothy Hamill did their commercials. Body on Tap was supposed to have beer in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQYxketSIGk

[Christine_O]

Does anyone else remember Short and Sassy? Dorothy Hamill did their commercials. Body on Tap was supposed to have beer in it.

I'm pretty sure that's when I got my Dorothy Hamill cut. My hair has just enough body not to ever go the way it's supposed to in that cut.

Memorable stuff! I also used that Breck shampoo you guys mentioned in the 80s, I really liked it. :)

[missc1115]

Jhirmack's shampoo and conditioner commercials in the late 80s-90s! Victoria Prinicipal had lovely hair.

I had to use those black rollers with the little plastic brushes in the middle that stuck to your hair. Remember those? Getting the rollers off was a real challenge with Dippity Do sticking my hair together and those brushes inside the rollers holding on like velcro.

Those were horrible..lol I never used them but I remember seeing them being used in hair salons mostly on older ladys with blue hair.
