Celebrity, Weave, Wig and the Commercial

[Caramel Jewel]

I see all of these hair product commercials selling this and that, many of the women are wearing some kind of hair piece, and the hair is flowing it has great color and body...What I find distrustful is how they are promoting this stuff on obviously fake hair, like when Beyonce was doing ads for a hair color line, the Garnier Fructrees ad when the girl pulls a pipe from a foundation with just her hair...Right now there is an ad above this page with Mary J. Blige doing something for Carol's Daughter..its a weave.... but am I not supposed to know that..

even many ads in magazines, it is the same thing...

I agree...especially in reference to the Carol's Daughter products (is'nt this product geared towards naturals? correct me if I am wrong)...I feel it's false advertisement; especially considering the weaves used are not even human hair, thereby the results are unrealistic...

Good that you mentioned that because I was watching that new hair coloring commerical that beyonce is in, ( I forget the name of the product) I was thinking that everybody in the free world knows that beyonce is wearing a lacefront weave, but that is common practice in the advertising world, to perpetrate a fraud just to get consumers to buy their products , which are probably not worth your money.

Actually a lot of non blacks think most celebrities hair is real. I had to crush my ex boyfriends heart by telling him Beyonce and Janets hair is fake. Then everytime I celebrity was on TV he'd be like "is her hair fake too". He was Puerto Rican.

Yes, but thank goodness we dont all fall for that. If people knew what Naomi Campbell's hairline REALLY looked like, perhaps they'd think twice about the products the media's selling to us.

it's no different from say, a mascara commercial where the models are wearing fake lashes...

in the world of advertising, trust no one

Actually it's not. A lot of naturals use those products because they have natural ingredients but it is not a hair care line specifically for hair sans chemicals. I don't even think she wants it marketed specifically to black people because other ethnicities use the products too. I've seen reviews for some of her hair products in white magazines like Glamour and Allure.

Well as long as they dyed the lacefront with the dye is it really false advertising? But seriously, we all know the world of advertising is nothing but smoke and mirrors. And some things will never change.
