OGX Smoothing + Liquid Pearl Shampoo, 13 Ounce

Product Information

Prell is a viscous, pearl-green shampoo and conditioner product manufactured by Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc through their Neoteric Cosmetics subsidiary. If you weren’t worried about frizzies, you might have worried about the “greasies,” but 99% oil free Agree shampoo and conditioner promised the fix for that. And it was tested in the hair care laboratories of Johnson Wax, so you know it had to work.

Natural” was synonymous with healthy living in the 1970s. Vegetarian cookbooks like The Moosewood Cookbook, Diet for a Small Planet and the Vegetarian Epicure encouraged us to eat more natural foods, and Earth Born Shampoo encouraged us to lather up with shampoo with a natural pH balance. I’m not sure any of us knew why pH balance was important, but with the scientific testing with the test strip, we knew it had to be good. And of course not every vintage shampoo is represented here. Twice as Nice had shampoo and conditioner in layers in one bottle. Halo that “glorified” hair was around from the late 1930s to the 1970s. Faberge Organics with its honey and wheat germ oil was aimed at natural women and men and it was early to the idea of going viral, suggesting you might want to tell 2 friends about how it worked. Revlon’s Flex is still around, but not with the formulation so beloved from the 1970s. What vintage shampoo brand did we miss? Share it with us in comments!As long as we humans groom ourselves, there will be shampoos and conditioners promising to keep our fur luxurious and lovely. In 20 years, people will write a blog posts about the shampoos we use now and probably poke some fun at the promises made in advertisements or the fads that we followed. After all, when it comes to beauty, the next great thing is always appearing on the horizon. Prell and Head & Shoulders, also made by Procter & Gamble, were the two best-selling shampoos in the United States in June 1977. Procter & Gamble had the highest advertising budget in the shampoo industry. [2] The firm of Wells, Rich, Greene carried out advertising for Prell. [3] Prior to December 1, 1973, Prell billings were coordinated by Benton & Bowles. [4] In advertisements the quasi-liquid Prell would induce a pearl to sink slowly to the bottom of a container. [5] Charlie’s Angels hair was an aspirational goal in the 1970s, and the Wella Balsam people leapt on that and marketed their split end fixing shampoo and conditioner as what we needed along with hot rollers and a curling iron to make that happen. And if men are going to grow their hair to groovier lengths, they were going to need something to keep it manageable…another marketing opportunity Wella did not miss.

Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific” was both a product name and an aspiration for this 1970s brand from Andrew Jergens. And it did smell really good, or should I say it had “a soft, young, breezy-fresh fragrance like meadows of wildflowers in spring.” Browsing the shampoo aisle and is like visiting a herbalist/chemist/biologist/stylist’s laboratory. All sorts of brands all promising to do the same thing, make your mane lustrous, fragrant, well behaved and generally gorgeous. The brands in the aisle may have changed but the promises haven’t. Who remembers these vintage shampoo brands, mostly from the 1970s?
