While the makers of Great Hair Day have a terrific product that does a terrific job, I question their use of Joan Rivers as their spokesperson. All through the commercial for Great Hair Day we have these young women talking about how great Joan is for making this product available to them. Yet I have to wonder if anyone their age really even knows who Joan Rivers is. I barely do, other than the fact that she filled in for Johnny Carson back when he hosted The Tonight Show. But that was two decades ago.
And Joan Rivers' goofy mannerisms drive me crazy. The way she shakes her head, gesticulates in an overly-dramatic way with her hands. I want to scream at her: “Just sit still, Joan, and tell me about the product!”
The product itself, fortunately, is good enough to sell, despite the annoying presence of Lady Joan. To get an idea of what it is, think of it as makeup for your head. Seriously, it comes in a compact similar to what a woman's makeup comes in. And you apply it with a brush, similar to makeup. But women with thinning hair or even balding spots or graying spots apply this powdery substance to the head. Instantly, it does its work and makes the hair look thick, full and its correct color. It truly is an amazing product.
Not so amazing: When Joan tries applying it to a lady's head in the commercial. Rather than daintily applying it, she looks like she's treating the applicator as a crayon and the woman's head as her own living coloring book.
But that's Joan Rivers for you.
