advertising nonsense "your hair matures from root to tip"

No. Not in this household anyway.

I can't get my head round what that means. "Your hair matures from root to tips...." The tips are older, obviously, so - No! Don't get it.

Haven't seen the advert. Perhaps you need to see the whole thing.

I haven't seen the advert either, but it does just seem like ad-people-speak. Obviously 'mature' is one of the buzz words reckoned to sell products to older women (and men)...

How completely daft. Apart from the root, hair is dead.

Poppycock plain & simple- must think we're very gullible!

I rarely see ads nowadays. That is the time I make coffee, go to the loo, decide to find a piece of fruit, feed the cat etc. It would appear that I am not missing much.

Maybe the scientists they consulted said that each hair grows from the rootbase, so the tip gets more mature as the hair grows longer. Being admen they interpreted that fact into "your hair matures from root to tip" which is rubbish.

Perhaps we should all demand to get the base of our hair cut off, not the split ends at the tip?

Of course, nothing is and no-one is supposed to be OLD these days. Mature is the word.

So Elegran we ripen with age, like Cheddar cheese
And eventually go mouldy .......

I like to think of my self as a vintage port, maturing with age, getting richer, sweeter and more desirable .
( If advertisers can talk a load of B***********s, so can I )

Even a vintage port can eventually go vinegary and unpalatable (not you of course, Pompa)

Perhaps the ends of our hair are now vintage??

The hair advert I hate is where that girl with long dark hair says something like 'before it was meh, now it's hellllooooo' Utter stupidity and don't get me started on the Boots advert with the stupid be a sexy lady song..... grrrrrr

NannyGoat I used that stupid shampoo and my hair came out like an oil slick it was horrendous, shampoo and conditioner straight in the bin and back to John Frieda for me.

I agree glammanana
Any advert too with that Nicola whatsit (Lewis Hamilton's ex) puts me off completely, my blood pressure shoots up.....
As for shampoo ad which appears to have orgasmic side effects !

I recognise the ads you're talking about, NannyGoat and Loopy, but I have no idea what shampoos they're trying to sell!

Mind you, I find that with a lot of ads...

I hate all those cod-science adverts whether for hair products, make-up of skincare products. You know 'Our product contains unique fruit-loopery specially developed by our scientists to ensure your skin/hair/lipstick/ nourishes and nurtures you all day long'. Frankly, if its nourishment I need, I prefer to absorb it through my mouth (interior)

It's impossible to absorb most beauty products through the skin. If we were that porous having a bath would turn us into gloopy jellyfish-like objects!
Equally absorbing just about anything else!
Beauty products just soften or whatever the outermost skin layer.

I hate that ad for home hair dye that Davina thingy does. If she dyes her own hair then I'm a Dutchman (as my Mum used to say).

Yes - same with Cheryl Cole (as was!).

Apparently, according to someone I know in Advertising, so many ads are made for the international market to save money, hence the incomprehensible nature of many of them to poor little old englanders.

It is not that we poor little old Englanders find it incomprehensible, it is that we can tell that it is a load of **** cobblers. I imagine people in other lands think the same.

By accident I have discovered how to do something that has baffled posters for some time - post more that two *s at a time. Put two dashes before and after them, as though you are doing a strikethrough. The result is that the *s are underlined. ****

Ooooooh nice. ****** useful!
