Head and Shoulders: Disturbing Images
Some things, even we can’t get out of your head
Eeewwwwww……
I think I can speak for most people when I say, these are all pretty disturbing images. Only the middle one has the potential to years later become one of those you might be able to have a laugh about. The first and last are just too gross to ever be funny.
I for one am definitely glad that I have never wittnessed any of these things. Actually I never witnessed anything all that disturbing as a child, and just the thought of any of these makes me even more grateful about this, because I might still need therapy if ever I came across a face in my dinner a a child.
This is a great campaign, very imaginative and the illustration is really nice. I can just imagine the artist being asked to draw an almost exposed grandma in the shower, a scene where a beloved pet has just been squished, and a chicken’s head that has accidently made it into a take-away fried bucket. All to advertise a dandruff shampoo.
“Trust us, it will make sense”…
And while I don’t really know if these ads do actually make any sense, or even they even need to. It doesn’t matter because they are just cool ads, either leaving you grateful that you never had any of these experiences, or sorry that this ad has just reminded you that you have.

Interesting campaign, but I wonder if there’s any backlash where when I see their products, those disturbing images would pop in my head, even though I’ve never personally experienced them.

Eeewww… That is disturbing. That was a very aggressive approach by Head and Shoulders… Ok, I get the point.
I have a leash just like the girl in the 2nd pic.
