OVERCOME UNPREDICTABLE HAIREVERY DAY WITH THE HELP OFDOVE® HAIR AND RASHIDA JONES
“Make Friends with Your Hair” for a chance to star in a national Dove® TV ad
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Sept. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Now women everywhere can finally make friends with their dry, unpredictable hair. Dove® Hair Care has teamed up with actress Rashida Jones to launch the Dove® “Make Friends with Your Hair” campaign. The campaign invites women to share their most unpredictable hair stories to help them end their frustration with unmanageable hair that has a mind of its own. Three real women will have their hair transformed by Dove® Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend with one starring in a national Dove Hair TV ad.
One in three women experiences dry, rough and frizzy hair that is unpredictable and frustrating to manage. Rashida Jones will address the issue and dramatize the humorous, yet real, relatable struggles that women face with their hair in a series of fun ads to inspire women to participate in the campaign. Thanks to the new Dove® Nourishing Oil Care collection, which takes care of dry, rough and frizzy hair, women can now have soft, smooth and shiny hair every day.
“When I’m on the set or just on the go, like most women, I have dealt with the frustration of dry, rough and frizzy hair that seems impossible to manage,” said Jones. “But by sharing our experiences, women can learn from one another and find simple ways to take control of their tricky hair issues.”
THE DOVE® “MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR HAIR”CAMPAIGN
Dove® and Rashida Jones are inviting women across America to make friends with their hair as two in three women (67 percent)¹ describe their dry, unpredictable hair as having “a mind of its own.” Women can enter the campaign by creating a video up to 90 seconds sharing how their hair has an alter ego by telling a story, acting out a humorous scene or even singing an original song. Three finalists will win a VIP trip to New York and a hair transformation by Townsend. America will then have the opportunity to vote on DoveHair.com/friends and Facebook.com/Dove for their favorite finalist to star in a Dove® Hair TV ad.
- September 19, 2011 – October 20, 2011 – video entries will be accepted at DoveHair.com/friends.
- November 9, 2011 – three finalists will be announced and America can vote for their favorite through November 28, 2011.
- Early December 2011 – selected finalist will be notified.
- Mid December 2011 – Dove® Hair ad will air on national TV.
Women have a variety of other ways to get involved, hear stories and share their own:
- Facebook.com/Dove: Fans can interact with one another, ask questions and view how-to hair videos with Dove® Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend.
- Twitter (@Dove): Dove® followers can interact with Dove® Hair Care and join a #DoveHairCare “Twitter Party,” where they can discuss their hair struggles and win Dove® Hair Care™ products and other prizes.
- DoveHair.com/Friends: Everyone can view humorous videos and TV ads depicting women’s bad hair experiences, featuring Rashida Jones.
“Dove® Hair is the expert in dry, damaged hair and understands the different kinds of hair issues women face every day,” said David Rubin, Dove® Hair Care Marketing Director. “Dove® Hair is committed to helping women have beautiful hair.”
DOVE® HAIR TO THE RESCUE
Unpredictable hair is not just a once-in-a-while occurrence for most women, Rashida Jones included. In fact on average, women face three days of dry, unpredictable hair every week.²
“Women experience dry, unpredictable hair and are looking for an easy solution they can achieve themselves,” said Townsend. “I recommend Dove® Nourishing Oil Care Collection to help women maintain the soft, smooth, shiny look they desire.”
The Dove® Nourishing Oil Care collection with Weightless Nutri-Oils – a unique blend of natural almond, coconut and mineral oils – takes care of dry, rough and frizzy hair. Dove® Nourishing Oil Care is the only U.S. brand to formulate hair care products with this combination of oils. When used as a system – along with the shampoo, conditioner and leave-in smoothing cream – it smoothes up to 100 percent of roughness and frizz for soft and shiny hair.

I have been using the
Dove Nourishing Oil Care shampoo and
conditioner for a little while now. I like that they keep my hair from drying out and getting frizzy with the weather we're having right now. And when I pair the
Leave-in Cream and
Anti-Frizz Serum with the others, it really helps me out. I love how shiny and silky my hair feels after I've used all the products and dried it. So pretty too!
It may be silly to some, but other than the way the Dove products worked in my hair I noticed something else. The design of these bottles is great. I like that the shampoo and conditioner are in the same style of bottle, but the shampoo opens on top and conditioner on bottom. That makes them so much easier to use.
Be sure to check out the
Dove contest finalists. This week they will be revealing the new Dove Real Woman to appear in the latest Dove TV ad. There is still a little time left to go to the
Dove Facebook page and vote for your favorite video. And you can check out their how-to videos with hair tips from celebrity stylist Mark Townsend at
www.dovehair.com/friends.
You can find the new
Dove Nourishing Oil Hair Care line in your local stores, such as Walgreens.
