“To get the knots out of every head in the house – try the one-step, spray-on, no rinse, creme rinse – Hair So New.”
Did you have problems combing your frizzy, early-70s hairdo into shape this morning? I sure did! I could have used a bottle of Clairol Hair So New creme rinse.
Catch the nicely-animated commercial below that aired in May of 1972. Your hair will thank you.
