  Nurses protest Clairol shampoo commercials
May 8, 2003 -- A Clairol shampoo commercial has angered nurses with its depiction of a female nurse who leaves her patient unmonitored to go wash her hair in his bathroom, proceeding to dance around his room, waving her hair in ecstasy.
Nurses may differ as to how serious Clairol's offense is compared to more substantial errors and omissions on "ER", "MDs" and other recent television programming.
I am writing to object to the Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo commercial with a female "nurse" who, rather than care for her critically ill monitored patient, instead borrows his shampoo and washes her hair, which leads her to a state of sensual ecstasy.

Hydrience was introduced in 1996 and targets women in their 20s, so cannibalization between it and Revitalique is not an issue, the company said.

This Ultress Clairol advertisement is an acute representation of the way that the commodity self is exemplified.
The implication of the ad is that the commodity named Ultress from Clairol permits you to explore and express the full range of your persona.
An additional trait of the commodity self displayed here is the arrogance of knowledge and consumer identification The true commodity self always knows more than the viewer does, though it must still leave sufficient commonality between the model and the viewer so as to permit you to invest your commodity self in theirs.
