Sarah Haskins in Target Women: Hair

Sarah_Haskins
Hair care used to be just about brushing it a hundred times before bed. Now, beautiful hair is something to die for. In a deserted jungle temple.

    • hahaha the things advertisers come up with lol..."re-write the history of your hair." hahahaha wtf? like ok go back to being born and um re-write my entire life history? and i can do it with your shampoo. hahahah man crazy commercials. so funny sarah thanks.
      p.s. are you ok sarah? feeling better after that neck sprain? i really hope so, ouch that looked painful. :) ok i know your fine. that was brilliant. i always thought even when i was little "what on earth? how do they flip and move like that without falling over?" and when i was about 7 used to try to copy the commercials and of course would end up on the ground. lol. yes its dangerous. take care girl.

    • God, just look at the way "Indiana Jane" dips her fingers into ~the altar of Herbal Essences~ and drags them through the sticky pink pool of shampoo. Even without the hairgasms, the shampoo slingers in Herbal Essences commercials STILL have way more fun with the product than I ever do.

      WANT VOLUME YOU CAN ACTUALLY MEASURE? I'm a little disappointed that this commercial didn't take place in one of those vague 'white 'n' boxy means scientifical!' settings with various complicated integrals and Dirac notation scrolling through the air in the background.

      Smurph, wow, good to know L'Oreal prefers a lovely shade of creepy-ass pseudo-human orange to Beyonce's own natural light brown. I'm never surprised by crazy intense photoshop magic but I always love seeing side-by-side comparisons anyway. Hate you, L'Oreal!

      briuh_, yes, but then your hair would smell like hamburger.

    • Guess that was the reason why advertisers uses hair extensions to promote haircare products (like what they did with Beyonce Knowles, not talking about adjusting skin tones here)

    • it's just hair ...i mean, i bet women didn't know that they could use things like heinz white vinigar, mayo, & ketchup & get the same "prismatic, hydralicious" results.

      lol i think thats the point haha...exactly. its just hair. its not like millions of dollars, chests of gold, true love, a newborn baby, world peace, or whatever else is infinitely more precious and important. she's making fun of the commercials not because hair isn't a cool thing to have fun with, i mean of course its so normal to want beautiful and/or cool hair and to enjoy it, that's totally good- what's she's doing is making fun of the advertisers, the commercials, and so on, who make it seem like there is some secret temple where the ancients hold all the secrets of "good" hair (when really they are just like "hey! buy our product!"...that one was for Herbal Essences its like YEAH RIGHT SO IF I BUY HERBAL ESSENCES THEN I WILL HAVE ORGASMS EVERY TIME I USE IT AND WILL BE SOME AWESOME PREISTESS OF THE TEMPLE LOL...i've used that same stuff and it wasn't as awesome. its just funny. you have got to admit hair advertisiing and commercials are funny. when my friend and i were little, like about 7 or 8, we used to make home videos trying to do the Patene Pro-V commercials "for hair so healthy, it shines!" and of course the girl in the commercial would always flip her hair in an immposible way and we would fall down trying to copy it and really its amazing we didn't end up with our necks strained or broken and neck braces like poor sarah...lol. its just jokes. peace girly.

    • I wonder what you'd have found if you went deeper into that temple - skin cream recipes for the pharaohs, a mysterious book of fashion dos and don'ts from the ancients? What treasures would you have found, Sarah, what?!?

      P.S. Thanks for this, the last one was a bit of a downer. I rarely feel bad for the morons on reality tv, but taking advantage of sex-trade workers seems like a really greasy move, even for that genre. Your take on it was funny, but the rest made me want to cry a little. Not much, I'm really not that sympathetic, but a little.
      P.P.S. The above video has nothing to do with the subject, but is about me, the coolest guy you'll ever know. Think about it.
