Here is another in our Beauty Brains series on actual cosmetic ads from the past.
We love this ad because of the irony of advertising a hair care product using a model who’s wearing a freakishly huge hat.
The product is meant to make your hair color more beautiful. Why are you covering it up?!?!
“Yes,” she says in a breathy, provocative tone, “I love this hair color so MUCH that I just have to hide it demurely under this ridiculously oversized hat!”
What’s next? A nail polish ad featuring glove-covered hands?
In case you’re interested…
