Dove(R) Styling Sets Women Free
Introducing New Styling Products that Define Natural Movement in Hair
CHICAGO, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ — Since the Stone Age, real women like Wilma Flintstone have been troubled by hair that feels stiff and sticky. But now, a new styling line from Dove makes it possible to set styles free. Even cartoon characters with hair that is famously stuck in place have discovered the beauty of hair that moves.
To launch Dove Styling, its first venture into this territory, three animated moms and one clue-cracking teen free their styles. In true Dove fashion, the ad campaign taps real, everyday beauties, as known by the people of Springfield, Bedrock, Mystery, Inc. and the Skypad Apartments:
— Marge Simpson may be the glue that holds the Simpson family together, but her hair has finally come down. Not since her high school days have we seen her long, soft, blue-flowing waves.
— Wilma Flintstone gives new meaning to “Yabba-Dabba-Doo,” with a soft and sleek look that takes her hairstyle out of the Stone Age.
– Jane Jetson will have George seeing stars with gravity-defying volume on the cutting edge of style.
– Velma Dinkley has solved her biggest mystery yet (no thanks to Scooby): a defined style that looks as smart as her IQ.
Just like real women, Marge, Wilma, Jane and Velma, enjoy beautiful styles that move naturally. The unique formulas found in Dove Styling are designed to hold hair without making it too stiff or sticky to help answer this need. As a matter of fact, in a recent survey(1), more than 40 percent of women agree that the best hair styling products deliver natural feel and movement. Furthermore, more than one out of four women surveyed said that the biggest problem they have with their current styling products is they leave their hair feeling stiff and sticky.
“Women all over the world trust Dove to make them feel beautiful and now they can experience the Dove difference of our Weightless Moisturizers(TM) in all aspects of their hair care routine,” said Andrew Gross, vice president of hair care brand development, Unilever Home and Personal Care in North America. “Dove continues to develop products that help women celebrate their individual beauty, yet do not constrain and weigh hair down.”
The new Dove Styling line, available now in food, drug and mass retail outlets for a suggested retail price of $3.99, introduces five hairsprays and seven styling aids including two mousses, two gels, a pomade, an anti-frizz cream and a straightening cream. With Dove’s unique Weightless Moisturizers, the styling products condition and style simultaneously, addressing all of women’s styling needs: volume, hold, shape, control and finish for beautiful hair. Furthermore, the line includes a revolutionary product designed to provide what one third of women want — more volume(1). The new Precision Volume Lift & Hold Hairspray has an innovative patented nozzle that diffuses a fine mist toward the root to lift and shape hair.
The characters help bring to life the benefits of Dove Styling — beautiful styles with natural movement. Cartoon Network stars Wilma Flintstone, Jane Jetson and Velma Dinkley will appear in television advertising. Print advertising will break in February in several of the top magazines and will feature FOX Network’s Marge Simpson as well as the other characters. In addition, these ladies will be seen throughout the entire integrated marketing campaign, including public relations, in-store, out-of-home media and other promotional activities. Advertising was created by Ogilvy & Mather Chicago.
