This commercial, which aired in 2010, opens with a scene of Kaho talking about her struggle with damage at the ends of her hair.
Her tips were so damaged she was considering “maybe I’ll just have to cut it,” but the ad shows how just 14 days of care with Pantene’s intensive treatment program brought her beautiful hair back.
The commercial concisely conveys the product’s appeal and features Toko Furuuchi’s song “Beautiful days.” For many people, this is the song that comes to mind when they think of Pantene commercials.
Released in 2005, the song carries a hopeful message that tomorrow will be an even better day than today.
