Hair dye – the latest male grooming must-have?

A good article on the male taboo that is hair dying

http://blog.mankind.co.uk/487/hair-dye-–-the-latest-male-grooming-must-have/

brylcreem ads





most male grooming products ad campaigns seem to have come a long way over the years, it just seems that just for men are stuck in a time warp.

Probably the best Just for Men ad released



I think this is the best just for men ad the company has released, which is saying something as even this is terrible!

Old Just for Men ad



The ads don't seem to have progressed much in the last 16 years!

The Most Ridiculous Commercial Ever - Just For Men



The just for men ads are getting some slating on youtube for the ridiculous boasts just for men claim you can do just by dying your hair.

Just for Men USA ad



The USA ad is even worse

Just For Men UK ad - More Ties



Yet another cheesy ad from just for men, the ad tries too hard and yet again fails to work.

Just for men UK ad



This is the current UK ad for just for men.
The ad feels old and i think it makes the product seem an embarrassing product for men to purchase.
