A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a Proctor & Gamble event in Sydney at Barney Martin Hair Studio, courtesy of Saunders & Co. One of the highlights of the event was getting my hair washed using Pantene’s Aqua Light haircare range and styled to make our very own TV “commercial”.
My partners-in-hair, Amy and Val.
Hair done!
It was hilarious filming the “commercial”. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, except to follow the director’s instructions to, literally, swish my hair. I wore my glasses for the event, and I had to take them off for the shoot. Being as blind as a bat, I couldn’t see where the camera lens was when the director said I was to look directly at it. His assistant had to snap her fingers above the lens and say “Look here!” 😛
Ahh call it a child’s wish come true. I’m finally in a swish-swoosh hair commercial, albeit a make-believe one. I had the fan blowing my hair from the bottom, and it was exactly what you would see in a hair commercial on TV. Well, with a funny-as-hell-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-slightly-constipated face from me, of course.

Go on, have a laugh. You know you want to 😛

Wohoo, congrats Tine! Great swishing, Tine! 😉
Jess: Thanks Jess. The swishing was actually done very quickly. It’s just a matter of turning your head. The ad made it look a lot more swishy 😛
Oh my gosh, that was adorable! Your hair is so swishable, LOL. 🙂

RM: It’s the Aqua Light. I kid you not, it makes my thick and heavy hair light. Of course, the camera also did its trick. Including put 10 pounds on me. Haha!
Wow….that was fabulous, babe! Now I wish I could have a chance to do that 🙂

That’s too cute! Love all the swishing action 🙂

Lyn: Hehehe it sure was fun swishing 😛
Sounds like pan-tan… But video is amazing! When coming to 8TV?
Bernard: It’s a make-believe commercial lah 😛 But thanks!
So interesting. You definitely have some talent in swishing. Just curious, do you have difficulty balancing after that 🙂
Amanda: Hahahah it looks like I swished a lot, right? 😛 In fact, it was very quick. The director told me to turn my head quickly from right to left, bottom to top, etc. It was over very quickly. No head rush or anything 😛
Hehe ok I had a giggle… How fun it must’ve been! Your hair looks so pretty in slow motion 🙂 I always thought pantene was pronounced “pan-teen”… hmmm?!

Rin: I’ve always pronounced Pantene has ‘pan-teen’ too, not ‘pen-ten’. The latter sounds weird 😛
Great video…much more commercial now that I hear the words in the background…loved it!!!

Ling: Hehe thanks! Yeah, it was too noisy at the MBBE dinner, that’s why you couldn’t hear anything when I showed you the video on my phone 😛
Tiiine! Your commercial looks amazing, I don’t see what you were complaining about, I thought it was brilliant 🙂
Celina recently posted..Question Me!
Celina: I just can’t look at myself in videos without laughing or cringing, even my wedding video! So yeah, this one, I thought it was darn hilarious and slightly constipated-ish. Heehehehe!
<3 your hair! And you looked so adorable in the video! That video also taught me something else. Pantene is pronounced as Pan-ten rather than Pan-teen. Whoops 😛
Electronicfly: Naaaaahhh I still pronounce it has Pan-teen. It’s PAN-TEEN! Pan-ten’s lame 😛
Nice work with the swishing! When you lot were tweeting about this it sounded like so much fun!
I think the ad turned out great.. 🙂

Norlin: Hahaha it’s from years and years of practising swishing with a towel on my hair, pretending I’m in a shampoo ad. Ooops did I just say that? 😛
so cute!!!!! 😀 but why do the aussies pronounce pan-teen as pan-ten?
dom recently posted..Blogs We Read, Volume 3.
Dom: I haven’t a clue. It’s pan-teen! Pan-ten is lame 😛
You did great, actually made me want to go and buy the new Aqua Light range to see if it’ll make my hair as swishy! hehe…..
Brinkley: Wow, if it really did make you want to buy the Aqua Light range, then my “commercial” actually worked! Hehehe. Seriously though, I think it’s good stuff 🙂
So cute! You made me chuckle a little (in a good way) on this otherwise shitty day. Thanks Tine! Swish away!!!

Swati: Oh it was! Lots of giggles, especially when I couldn’t see the lens without my glasses 😛
The last shot’s a WINNER! <3
The two flips you did before that looked a bit like you're caught in the middle of a whirlwind 'cause I didn't get to see your face. But the last one was really nice 'cause you were beaming at the camera. 😀
Oh, when I said “flips” I meant the hair swishing, lol. Sounded like a somersault.:S
Vivi recently posted..Can You Believe She’s 43 Years Old?
Vivi: Hahahaha I can’t really remember the original commercial, but I don’t think you can see the model’s face in the first two shots either. The camera did a big slow-mo action there, when it actual fact, it was a quick 1-sec flip. And that’s why I found it so freakin’ hilarious looking at myself in that “commercial” because of how funny the whole situation was then 😛
