Dove's hilarious new ad warns men against using women's shampoo - unless they want sweeping, shiny and luscious locks


Dove's latest ad campaign acts as a firm warning to men, showing them exactly what will come of using a women's shampoo - ultra feminine hair.

The satirical ad, a parody of the iconic Pantene television spots, promotes Dove's Men + Care range. 
Dressed in a shirt and tie behind his office cubicle, a man called Diego greets a confused-looking colleague, who is staring at his sweeping, shiny, and luscious locks.

'Have you done something to your hair?' the colleague asks. 'It looks like those slow-mo effects from women's shampoo ads.'
Unaware of his artificially-enhanced swooping head swooshes, Diego shrugs: 'Nothing'.
'Must be the shampoo your using,' decides the colleague.

Created by Brazil's Ogilvy & Mathe, the hilarious new commercial was directed by Hungry Man's Carlao Busato.
Targeting the everyday guy who might opt for any old shampoo, including one made specifically for women, Dove hopes they will realize the error of their ways and buy the Men + Care range, instead.
Men + care includes antiperspirant deodorants, body mists, hair care and styling aids, 'specifically designed to provide men with both the results and the care they need'
